Obviously. There's dancin' ones, puzzle ones, ones where you just beat guys up together ... it's a blast.

Oh.

Well, I believe I can see the appeal now.

And we haven't even started playin' yet.

It does remain to be seen if they are actually fun.

[ shrug! ]

Guess we'll see. Maybe you're too much of a nerd to get 'em.

Indeed. I must come across as a very musty academic.

Am I wrong, though?

I've lived a thousand, thousand lifetimes. I know a few tricks other than reading books and feeding ducks. I was rather convincingly able to play the role of your slutty and recently transferred unitmate, after all.

[ RUDE ]

Yeah but did you enjoy that?

Actually it was rather fun. In some ways. Playing a role is enjoyable at times, don't you agree?

There's a difference between a little roleplay and lyin' to people.

[He just laughs.]

How about lies by omission?

You were doin' it on purpose. To trick people. That's not just a "lie by omission".

Oh I am not refuting that. I am just wondering about your own evasiveness. Is that considered fine because it is not deliberately meant to harm any but yourself?

I'm not tryin' to hurt anyone, pal, even if you don't believe me.

Oh, I'm sure you aren't. But do you think you are not?

[ he makes a Face. ]

... More their fault than mine.

Why is that?

I dunno, just feel like -- their expectations are off wack.

How so?

Like ... I should be the "nice" brother.

Oh? Do you not wish to be so?

I don't think I'm the nice one.

What do you think of yourself as?

The fun one, duh.
