You sure? 'Cause I think he has way, way more baggage than I do. Amnesia'll do that to a guy. One of the perks. I'm a clean slate who somehow knows that he pushes people away and then resents them for leaving.

Same for you, Electric Boogaloo. Let me know what you need from me.

[Let that serve as his agreement, bro. He's a little disoriented from the Good Pets to be more coherent than that.]
