[The 'traffic' thing makes him laugh. It's a weird little detail, somehow makes the rest of it seem even weirder, and Hank tries not to think too hard about the way his mind's struggling to wrap itself around the idea of all that being a real thing. Sitting here talking like this, having a drink together, it makes it a little easier to at least pretend to be casual about all this shit.

And it keeps his mind off- other things. So he's got the stuff he's not thinking about, the weird-backstory-as-a-distraction that he's also not thinking too hard about, and he's got the drink and the company to take the edge off all the shit that's sitting in his head not getting thought about. And there's details in all that, anyway, that Hank does know how to take, that he can kind of latch onto. So that's fine.]

Yeah, being in love can do that. For a while. Is he usually kind of a dick? Like in a personal sense, outside the whole, uh, 'having to keep a bunch of assholes in line on a daily basis' kind of dick.
