Stan leans forward, too shocked and confused to be hurt and wanting to try and get a look at Ford's face, but he sits back before he can see much. He knows already how he's got to play this, and it makes him sick. He's got to talk to Ford the way he'd talk to one of those guys in some of those really bad apartments, the ones you have to just nod to no matter what they say to you, don't move too quick, and try not to make any sense outta' anything. Ford's not one of those guys. He's not.
He's not.
"Well, uh, that's fine. You don't have to talk, I ain't too invested in the idea."
You can't try to make sense out of this stuff, but that's when you're talking to other guys. That's for the guys so far gone that they don't even know what they're trying to say anymore, and never will. But Ford, he knows what he's saying. Ford's different. It's just Stanley who can't get with it.
"What, uh- Remind me. What is it I'm uh, doin' to you, exactly?"
