No interest, Kimblee? Don't lie to me. If you had no interest in pursuing her you wouldn't be here with her tonight.
[He's willing to write off what happened on the fourteenth as a horrible outcome due to... whatever was in the water that day. He certainly wasn't acting normal, so it's a logical assumption that Kimblee's actions weren't exactly normal either. Besides, Kimblee gave him something; clearly he cares!]
[But this? This is crossing some invisible line Archer didn't realize existed.]
It's already late. I'm sure she won't mind. Does she know you're not interested in her? If not, you're leading her on. Do you really want to do that, Kimblee?
[Okay, hold on. His voice is escalating here and he doesn't need this to turn into a shrieking fit.]
We're supposed to be partners, Kimblee. How am I supposed to trust that you won't lie to me and run off with someone else if you're willing to do it now? Who's to say you won't stab me in the back when I need your assistance? You're returning to the base with me. Now.
