Moxxie - Can i say something to you? Listen, you was really, really something’ back there. Incredible!

Stolas - Are you talking to-- me? Whoa!

Moxxie - Yes, I was talking to you. Can I tell you that you was great back there? Those guards! They thought they was all of that. Then you showed up, and bam! They was trippin’ over themselves like babies in the woods. That really made me feel good to see that.

Stolas- Oh, that’s great. Really

Moxxie - Man, it’s good to be free.

Stolas - Now, why don’t you go celebrate your freedom with your own friends? Hmm?

Moxxie - But, uh, I don’t have any friends. And I’m not going out there by myself. Hey, wait a minute! I got a great idea! I’ll stick with you. You’re a mean demon, fighting machine. Together we’ll scare the spit out of anybody that crosses us.

Stolas roared at Moxxie

Moxxie - Oh, wow! That was really scary. If you don’t mind me saying, if that don’t work,your breath certainly will get the job done, cause you definitely you need some mouthwash or something, cause your breath stinks. You almost burned the hair outta my nose, just like the time --

Moxxie - Then i ate some beans. I had strong gases eking out of my butt that day.
 
Stolas - Why are you following me?

Moxxie - I’ll tell you why. (singing) Cause I’m all alone there’s no one here beside me my problems have all gone there’s no one to deride me but you gotta have friends --

Stolas - Stop singing! It’s no wonder you don’t have any friends.

Moxxie - Wow. Only a true friend would be that cruelly honest.

Stolas - Listen, little Imp. Take a look at me. What am i?

Moxxie - Uh-- really tall?

Stolas - That would be my home.

Moxxie - Oh! And it is lovely! Just beautiful. You are quite a decorator. It’s amazing what you’ve done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder. I guess you don’t entertain much, do you.

Stolas- I like my privacy.

Moxxie - You know, I do too. That’s another thing we have in common. Like, I hate it when you got somebody in your face. You’re trying to give them a hint, and they won’t leave. There’s that awkward silence.

Stolas- Of course!

Moxxie - Really?

Moxxie - Really?

Stolas - Okay! Okay! But one night only.

Moxxie - Ah! Thank you!

Stolas - What are you -- No! No!

Moxxie - This is gonna be fun! We can stay up late, swapping manly stories, and in the morning I’m making waffles.

Stolas - (angry) Oh!

Moxxie - Where do, uh, I sleep?

Stolas - Outside!

Moxxie - Oh, well, I guess that’s cool. I mean, I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, so I guess outside is best, you know. (sniffles) Here I go. Good night.

Stolas sighs and slams the door really hard
