[Well he's been full of bad ideas today that may or may not pay off. He might as well try to go for this counter as well.]
Hey jerkwad. You've probably guessed by now that I don't like you but since Dave will probably ask me to since you're his friend and you are, apparently, getting stalked by some crazy dude who hides in the trash I guess I'll take the initiative and ask that if I did extend an olive branch to you would you actually take it or do I not have to worry about helping look after you?
[But see, now Gary is metaphorically and literally squinting at everyone he pissed off. Even a little. Or squinting at everyone in general. But Pokey, ah...Pokey. He knows you're keeping an eye on him because he's keeping an eye on you. Most normal people would take whatever help they can get, but Gary isn't going to trust anyone enough to help him right now. Least of all this prick.
He's alone right now. No one can be trusted.]
I know what you're doing. I don't need an olive branch.
[Not a reference to the post, but just in general. Of course he can't outright say that he knows Pokey has his eye on him. Anything he could show Dave to make him look like a paranoid asshat is bad. He has to be careful. If he says anything he has to be able to explain it away. No one can be trusted.]

Don't say I didn't offer you a hand, though.
[Works for him. He offered to help, Gary said no. That's all there is to it.]
