Banshee S03E08: All the Wisdom I Got Left

You’re violating our agreement with Frazier and selling to the Salvadorans. 
// Yes. //

Your uncle won’t like that.

// Then don’t tell him.

It can be our secret.

And in the end…he’ll thank us for it. [gasps]

I’m not going to tell him.

It should come from you.

My favourite part about this whole scene is that when she moves in and it’s obvious what she’s going to do, he doesn’t try to stop her or react with shame or anger, he knows what she’ll find (or not find) and he just lets her go through with it and stonewalls her the entire time. I feel like this alone is a really deep insight to Burton’s character, and how his motivations are so different than that of most people and he doesn’t see this aspect of him to be shameful or deficient, it doesn’t define who he is and he’s more or less indifferent to it.

The thing I loved most about these two is that Rebecca is the type of person who merely uses sex as a tool or a means to an end, and Burton is castrated and asexual/aromantic in general so they’re basically immune to one another. Which is why they would have made such a great team and why it’s bullshit that he ended up killing her in the end.
