[Well, he's definitely not going to help her figure out what's going on in Team Rocket. He's been a loyal member of this organization for years and the fact that Emmy's found herself in it still baffles him. She doesn't seem the sort. She's probably trying to gather information on the team to sell it to the PGC or whatever. So that's definitely not getting an answer.
The second question gets him to pause, though he doesn't turn to face her.
Why does he hate her so much? No, that's not really the right question to ask. Why does he keep acting this way after it's been such a long time? He can acknowledge that what he did was out of line and completely his fault. He knows that. He's said as much to Kimblee several times.
But what it ultimately comes down to (outside of his pride, of course) is that if he acknowledges that he was in the wrong to her, then he has to figure out how to treat her. He has to decide if he genuinely hates her or not. And maybe - just maybe - he'll find that he's been wrong about that too.
Archer doesn't like being wrong.]
...That doesn't have anything to do with our mission here.
[The words are carefully chosen and Archer still doesn't turn to face Emmy. Now really isn't the time to talk about this. There probably won't ever be a time to talk about it or a time where he's willing to talk about it, but at the very least you've got him thinking about it.
