I'm not. [There's only so many ways anyone could keep someone like Bucky under control. Making sure he knows he's worthless is just one of the many tactics employed to keep him in his place, keep him coming back. And he can shake some of that mindset off, rebuild a lot of that confidence and certainty back. But he's internalised a lot of beliefs that he isn't likely to address anytime soon.]
We should be able to buy a gun. [Which reminds him - they'll need to find some money. He isn't sure how deep this farce goes, whether he's been assigned a name, a job on top of this house and this fake family or if they'll have to figure something out. Neighbour lady did seem to believe that Lee would be enrolled at the local school so it probably isn't too farfetched to believe he might be missing work right now.]
What? An ar-- no. I'm fine. [He's managed just fine with one arm. Of course he'll miss having it, it does add some complications, and they could do without all the unnecessary, unwanted attention, but it's nothing he can't manage without.]
Do you want to go get changed? We might have to go out together. [Does he trust Lee to be able to dress himself? At least the clothing pieces were arranged in Bucky's wardrobe in roughly the correct grouping, so he expects it'll look quite similar for Lee. There shouldn't be a lot of guesswork involved.]
