[Well, the smile was just for the charming joke, and also to be reassuring, so he'll drop it in favor of a raised eyebrow.]
Is it? Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks so, but if we count potential murderers as murderers, I think all of us are in the same ship.
The Bull trusted you. He told me to trust you. He's mentioned it a number of times - none of the others we'd talked to or gotten on with, or who I spend my time with. You. What you must understand is, the Bull doesn't trust anyone. He'd have been a poor spy if he did, but moreover, he is a clever enough man to know that personal affection means nothing when any one of us could be souvlaki.
But we always knew he, at least, was not souvlaki. Because he was Kampff. It was the only thing we knew for certain, when neither of us knew whether I could even be relied on. He simply wouldn't have told me so fervently that it was safe to rely on you if he didn't have reason to know. And he would only have reason to know if you were also Kampff.
