When your best friend’s acting a little too chipper and friendly for someone in a Mexican standoff with a Gothamite hit squad…
Red Hood: *whispering* What’s wrong with you? Are you… drunk?
Arsenal: No!
Arsenal: Yes.
Red Hood: What the heck happened to you?
Arsenal: I found a liquor store.
Red Hood: And?
Arsenal: I drank it.

When you reunite with your best friend after the DC writers keep you apart…
Red Hood: No chick flick moments.
Arsenal: You love chick flicks.
Red Hood: Yeah, you’re right. *opens his arms for a hug* Come here.
Red Hood and Arsenal: *walking*
Arsenal: *pauses*
Arsenal: Does that sound like somebody saying “No”, “Wait”, “Stop” to you?
Red Hood: *listens*
Red Hood: Yeah.
Arsenal: *continues walking* Oh, well.
Roy [on the phone]: Okay, I know what “nothing” means, so…
Jason: “Nothing” means “nothing”, Roy. I’m fine.
Roy: Don’t go anywhere. I’m gonna be there soon.

And by “there soon”, Jaybird, he actually means he’s already parking his motorcycle outside your safehouse.
Arsenal: Jason, our friendship is built on lies?!
Red Hood: … And laughter, and stalking criminals, and love.
Arsenal: You know what, partner? We can get on a plane right now and settle this.
Red Hood: That is why I love you, buddy. You’re always willing to risk both our lives at any given moment.

To be fair, “Jaybird”, that seems to go both ways.
Jason [about Roy and Kory]: I miss those guys.
Dick: I know. Me, too.
Dick: *about to tickle Jason* Now who’s the sensitive little flower?
In a prison cell, chained to the wall, after Roy comments on a criminal mastermind’s fahsion choices…
Arsenal: It just came out!
Red Hood: When your brain stops working, you should just shut your mouth.
At the safe house…
Doorbell: *buzzes*
Jason: *sighs* It’s Morse code. It’s Damian.
Roy: How do you know?
Jason: Because the doorbell just said, “It’s me, morons”.
When you test your new flamethrower on your best friend while he’s in the shower…
Roy: Jaybird? You mad at me? Because without your eyebrows, I can’t really tell.
Jason: 😐
