Mike can only smile as Don does his best to try and ignore him.
"You're a lot like my Don. Not exactly, but close enough for government work. Though I'm pretty sure he finds me a whole lot more charming than you do." His smile goes broad for a moment, but then returns to a more level befitting his sincere amusement.
"Back home it's usually me and him against..." Mike turns to look towards the kitchen doorway, and in the general direction of the two other turtles still sleeping somewhere in the quiet of the house.
"Anyway, if I was back home, and my brother was pulling the hours you've been pulling, I'd tell him that he'd need to take a break. Just for a little while. And I'd get him to do it by asking him to do it for me. But...I don't think that's going to work on you.
So instead I'm going to ask you to do it for your brothers. They need you. All of you. And if you burn yourself out...well, don't. Don't burn yourself out."
