Wade Grey: Why do I have a feeling this conversation is going to give me a headache?

Angela Lopez: Because you know us too well, Lieutenant.

Celina Juarez: Okay, but can we talk about what I witnessed at the food truck yesterday?

John Nolan: Oh no. What now?

Celina Juarez: So I'm getting lunch, minding my own business, when I see Lucy and Tim walk up. TOGETHER.

Aaron Thorsen: They work together. That's... normal?

Celina Juarez: They were sharing earbuds.

Angela Lopez: EXCUSE ME?

Nyla Harper: Wait, what?

Celina Juarez: I'm telling you, they had ONE pair of earbuds between them. Like some kind of weird musical connection.

Lucy Chen: We were just... listening to a podcast about tactical training.

Tim Bradford: It was educational.

Angela Lopez: You two are the worst liars I've ever seen.

Aaron Thorsen: Also, since when do you listen to podcasts, Bradford?

Tim Bradford: Since always.

John Nolan: Tim, you once told me podcasts were "talking for people who like to waste time."

Tim Bradford: ...I changed my mind.

Celina Juarez: This is SUSPICIOUS.

Aaron Thorsen: That's not even the weird part.

Wade Grey: There's more?

Aaron Thorsen: Lucy ordered for him. WITHOUT ASKING WHAT HE WANTED.

Nyla Harper: And?

Aaron Thorsen: She got it RIGHT. Down to the extra hot sauce.

Lucy Chen: I'm observant!

Angela Lopez: Lucy, you asked me three times last week how I like my coffee.

Lucy Chen: That's different!

John Nolan: How is that different?

Lucy Chen: Because... because... Tim's my partner!

Tim Bradford: Former Training Officer. I was her Training Officer.

John Nolan: Were you, though? I thought she graduated years ago?

Tim Bradford: I... we... SHUT UP, NOLAN.

Celina Juarez: OH MY GOD, THEY'RE DATING.

Lucy Chen: WE ARE NOT DATING.

Tim Bradford: Absolutely not.

Angela Lopez: Then explain the HAND HOLDING.

Lucy Chen: WHAT HAND HOLDING?

Angela Lopez: At the food truck! I saw Tim grab your hand when you almost walked into that pole!

Tim Bradford: That's called preventing injury. It's basic partner safety.

John Nolan: Tim, you've let me walk into three poles this month.
