[ you sure are prodding his temper now, elizabeth. look, he knows jason. you don't. you're a stranger who doesn't understand jason at all as far as bruce is concerned and there's a thinning of his mouth as he finds himself getting told how jason is by someone he doesn't know, when jason still hasn't talked to him.

And it's because he's a detective. Why would he give that up for some -- some game? Jason is smarter than that. He makes mistakes but he's definitely smarter than that.
