Now, I'll be the first to admit I don't know him as well as you do, but he sure didn't seem angry at you for telling the truth back there. Or am I misremembering things?

[Calling Tenn out? Maybe just a little.]

[ He kind of sniffles a little, and looks up to give Marcus a flat look. ]
Okay. Fine. Yes, it does.
[ He'll concede!!! ]

[ A few more sniffles before he straightens himself out a little bit. ]
Okay. Okay, you're right.
[ A deep breath. ]
