[He huffs out a sharp sigh, moving closer but not directly at Tony, rather to a point level with him and several feet away at the edge of the roof. He frowns, eyes narrowed behind his shades and folds his arms, curling his fingers around his elbows.]
Let's get a couple of things straight, here. You ain't a dog, and you ain't someone's pet, and I know you're frustrated as fuck with all of this. I don't blame you. [Richard's voice stays low and level. Maybe he doesn't fully understand, but he's trying to.]
But do y' really know where you stand, or is it comin' down to what you want to see? If you want out, li'l man, you know 'm not gonna stop you, but you better think long an' hard about everything you're gonna be leaving behind if you bounce.
[Pausing, he sniffs slightly.]
Just... [A sigh.] I'm not gonna say goodbye to you. You'll always have a home with me. Wherever I am. I'm very proud of you, Tony. Remember that.
