he's here

[ he snorts ]

I don't know. I think you're plenty smart.

That is not a compliment I hear often.

Perhaps your company just hasn't really looked for it.

[ he just laughs, and cups his face with his hand. ]

Perhaps! That's highly likely.

[ he smiles ]

Maybe you don't want them to see.

Why not?

I think I am quite an open book.

Even open books have subtext that takes effort to understand.

Huh...

I guess you did say you liked to read.

You remembered... I'm touched.

Of course! These memories are very dear to me.

[ even though he hated being stuck in a boring ass room but it's ok ]

[ he laughs ]

It'd be nice if that was true.

I consider you a friend, so it is.
