So I'll take your deal. We'll put everything at home to the side. I won't even say anything to the others about this.
All you'll need to do is stay out of trouble, and keep that promise about getting the police when we get home. Do you think you can handle that?
[The question is sarcastic, but he'll still wait for an answer.]
