“Wes?”
“Yeah?”
“You should get your ass back here.”
“I can't.”
“You can't or you won't?”
“I don't think there's much difference for me.”
“Leia misses you.”
“To be honest I think I miss you more than I miss her.”
“...Are you serious, or...I mean, we're talking about the girl you've crushed on for like, ten years.”
“Hey, I'm just saying what you want to hear, man. Plus, you were totally jealous of her.”
“Jack-ass.”
“Moron.”
“Dick.”
“Idiot.”
“Ever wondered why the human anatomy is used as insults? I mean, if people love sex and sex is done by said human anatomy then shouldn't people not be offended by it enough to be considered an insult?”
“You choose the worst times to talk about philosophical stuff.”
“And yet you always insult my intelligence.”
“I don't know, I guess that's our thing. I insult your intelligence, you insult me by calling me human anatomy names.
“We're pretty weird.”
“You're the crazy one, though.”
“I'm actually starting to believe that, too.”
“Aw, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings Gilly-bert.”
“Insert human anatomy name here.”
“Insert insult to your intelligence here.”
“Copy-cat.”
“Ever wondered where that came from? Copy-cat?”
“Go google it or something.”
“Nah too lazy.”
“I'll Google it, then.”
“Google fixes all problems.”
“Not all. It can't fix me. Or you.”
“No one can really fix anyone.”
“I don't believe that.”
“You don't, or you can't?”
“Not much a difference, for me.”
“This feels weird.”
“Deja vu, huh?”
“Yeah.”
“...Good morning, Wes.”
“Good morning, Gil.”
