Yeah no that... scoff? Sounded incredibly suspect. But Doc lets it slide without comment. Colour is already starting to flood Malcolm's cheeks and he wouldn't want to make things any worse.

"Would you like to know what else is an 'unlikely outcome'? Waking up one morning finding yourself walking around with some peculiar fellow who claims to be a hundred and sixty-something year old gunslinger in some peculiar town with lettuce that can multiply by itself in the fridge while you are not looking watching some peculiar fog with murderous intent rolling on by."

Doc is rarely ever this direct, but sometimes he feels like he has to be, especially with Malcolm, and on separate occasions with Raylan. Likely or unlikely, perhaps, but nothing is completely impossible. There are simply things that have already happened, that you know in your heart and in your mind to be true, and things that have not yet happened. This pearl of wisdom he has acquired the hard way, the long way around. He hopes he can impart it in a much quicker and easier fashion.
