[Wade is still so shocked by the gift that he barely even hears Jesse's explanation. All he hears is "a couple of weeks". A couple of weeks? To build this? With the lousy conditions and the lack of good tools they have here? Wade finally turns the box over, holding it carefully so that the lid doesn't swing open. What he sees causes him to swallow convulsively; causes something in his chest to tighten almost painfully.
There, painstakingly carved into the right-hand corner of the box, is Wade's patented symbol-- the simple facsimile of his mask. It's almost too much for him to bear. The fact that Jesse remembered his birthday is mind-blowing enough, but to actually have the time and patience to make him a gift like this...? Quietly, Wade turns the box back to its rightful position, one hand upon the lid as if swearing an oath.]
Jesse-- [His voice breaks. He swallows hard and tries again.] I... don't really know what to say. Just... wow. [He finally flicks his eyes back up to Jesse's, his face softened with emotion.]
I think this is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.
