"In a moment. Adrien..."
Veidt sat up a little more to look him in the eye.
"I refuse to be another man who took you in and took advantage of you. I would..."

"...yeah, I'll take the haircut," he managed.

"You really don't have to. I don't want to make you feel as though you're under my thumb."

“What do you want to do?” Veidt asked gently.

"I wanted to watch this classy movie of yours," he said grouchily.

Veidt watched him a moment longer and pressed play, then settled back in his seat again and directed his attention to the film.
