He looked okay. I wouldn't say great, but... okay.

[shaft]

[ sighs ]

That's better than nothing, I guess.

[preowned]

Try to make sure he doesn't do anything extraneous.

[shaft]

Me? Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to respect my authority much as his elder.

[preowned]

Then try not to be authoritative.

[shaft]

. . .

[preowned]

... yes?

[shaft]

That's good advice.

[preowned]

I sometimes do that!

[shaft]

You are an experienced parent.

[preowned]

I try to be responsive to my children's needs.

[shaft]

I wouldn't mind being adopted by you.

[preowned]

[ oh

he laughs! ]

I'll take good care of you.

[shaft]

[ help ]

... Huh. I thought you'd make fun of me.

[preowned]

Why would I ever make fun of you?

[shaft]

I'm a grown man...

[preowned]

And even grown men need to be taken care of at times.

[shaft]

Even hearing that sounds weird.

[preowned]

Why do you think that?

[shaft]

At a certain age, you need to stop relying on others.

[preowned]

And why do you believe that?

[shaft]

[ He's being psychoanalyzed... ]

Well... Ultimately you'll be fighting you're hardest battles alone.

[preowned]

Do you know this for sure?

[shaft]

Sure. We watch people fight for their lives alone each week.

[preowned]

I wouldn't really say they're alone. There's two people, and that wasn't really... fighting.
