criminal decorum

It's true it was your turn, and 
you should have gone first, 
but you should have and didn't
so I went.  

And anyway, I am always the one
to panic and shoot the guard. It's my role.
How was I to know he'd call in sick? You 
were supposed to be crowd control, 

I planned this thing perfectly.
It was explicit in the plan
that nothing go wrong.
I emphasized that point
several times, all through. It's 
not my problem we make such 
a hash of it. It's okay. You 

did the best you could.

I'm sorry, I'm not mad - just
sorry. Well we both are, there's
an end of it. We'll do it better next time,
agreed? But first - whose turn is it
to do the prison break

I have an idea 

This time you plan,
and I'll fuck it up
