I'd write you some notes on how to play me, but I'm bound by the League of Muses' code of silence. Sorry.
There's a League of Muses' code of silence?
Why haven't I got my copy!

[ throws him in here because CASTMATE ]
League of Muses'...
...Code of silence?
League of Muses'...
...Code of silence?
Yeah, heh, I know the feeling. Still, someone like you - can't be too hard to notice every little thing you do and compile extensive notes on everything, right?
Seriously? Well, I'll see if I can find you one. It's not like the League to be so slack.
[CASTMATE PARTY OVER HERE!]
Yeah, I thought I'd give it a name, because otherwise it doesn't make sense that muses just don't tell their muns how to write for them.

Anything in this codebook about laughing Muns who can't stop giggling at the book's very existence?
[He should know better than to try and escape. Now he must suffer Audrey's wrestling moves as she tries to make him lay down with her.]
Don't worry, I'm just messing around. I don't think you like to follow me home and peer in my window at night. Although, if you did, I think it'd be kinda cute, just because it's you. Is that weird?

-hup! [He makes an undignified noise when he hits the floor and laughs, winded.] Yeah, I wouldn't do that.
Wha? No, not weird. Not even a little weird. [Does the not-weird look. Aka the one where he tries to look like he is as cool with this as possible. Looks like a dork instead.] Still don't do it though. Just, y'know. For the record.

[Audrey giggles, resting her hands behind her head, a serene smile stretching across her face.] That's good. I don't want you to think I'm weird, or anything. [One of her hands shifts from behind her head to pull Ted into an awkward one armed hug.] 'Cause if you thought I was weird, you'd probably stop coming over, and that'd suck pretty hard.
[Grins in a totally uncool manner, and manages to be totally cool with that.]
Never! Not in a million years. Even when we're old and we and start shouting at kids through closed shutters. [Oddly specific.]

Well, not really, but it's nice to think there is, right? Like there's one big family for everyone to turn to when something goes bad.
Plus, 'League' sounds awesome. I've always wanted to be in a league.

[And Audrey is completely and totally fine with that breach in the cool kid code.]
Closed shutters? Sounds kind of like a prison to me. [She frowns, furrowing her brow as she rolls onto her side to look Ted in the eye. For once, the dreamer actually looks rather serious.] Our shutters are going to be wide open, Ted. How else will we see all the truffula trees in our backyard?

Oh, gotcha! And... Heh, yeah, that does sound really cool.
[A wistful smile crosses his face - then turns into a full grin.]
Well, who's saying you can't make one? I mean, if you want something, you have to go out and make it happen, right?

[Audrey goes quiet for a moment, brow furrowing as if she's considering something, before she beams and takes Once-ler by the shoulders.]
You're a genius. My own League would be great!
[She laughs, releasing Once-ler's shoulders in favor of clasping her hands over her chest.]
I would so marry you right now, but you'd probably find that weird, so I won't propose.
[Another giggle and she winks playfully.]
But another genius idea and I might just have to. Propose, I mean. To you

You could definitely do it! It's just about putting your mind to it and never giving--
[HOLD UP HOLD UP HOOOOOOOOOLD UP WHAT IS THIS.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey - wait - aren't you - uh - a little young to be proposing to people?
[He is not prepared for marriage! He needs an adult!
Or the Lorax.]

[THIS IS AUDREY. SHE MARRIES PEOPLE. USUALLY IT'S JUST 12 YEAR-OLD BOYS, BUT WHATEVER.]
I don't think so? I mean, I'm seventeen, so it's legal for me to propose to someone. I think.
[The Lorax cannot save him, now.]
Sorry, though. I have a weird sense of humour. I, um, wasn't planning on proposing.

Oh, right! I knew that.
[Liar, liar, Thneed on fire.]
I just - uh - I'm not really... Ready to get married. I kind of have a business to run sort of and... Yeah.
You were joking! So it doesn't matter.
[And the award for most awkward turtle goes to...]

[Aaaand all her smiles and cheer is suddenly gone. Did the air just get colder? Possibly. Though it might just be because of that sad, solemn frown on Audrey's face. Why did he have to bring up tree murder the business? Why?]
Your business. Right.
[She chews on her lower lip, wondering if discussing future events would destroy the space-time continuum.]
Maybe... Maybe it's not a very good idea? To continue the business, I mean.

[...Oh man, what has he said now? Why does she look so upset and why is she spouting nonsensical things?
Maybe she actually is crazy.]
Are you kidding me? I mean, yeah, I technically still have to sell my first Thneed, but then it'll catch on! Everyone needs a Thneed!
Besides, it's not like I'm hurting anything! I'm not even cutting down the trees - I promised Mustache I wouldn't.

['Not even cutting down trees.'
That actually kind of hurts. Hurts right in the tree-loving feelings.]
I don't need a Thneed. I need a tree - so does everyone else.
[Crushing hopes and dreams to save the future really isn't all that fun.]
But there's not going to be anymore trees in the end. And nothing's going to get better. And there are going to be people who can only dream about a real tree; one that lives and grows and breathes. Nobody's going to smell butterfly milk or touch something softer than silk, because it's all going to be cut down to make Thneeds. And the worst thing is, none of them are going to care. Nobody's going to know what they're missing out on, since we've got electric trees and robot flowers.

No! No - hey - you've got it all wrong!
[It hurts him to hear things like that, especially when he's going out of his way not to cut down trees.]
Look, I don't know who you are or where you're getting these ideas, but I'm not cutting down trees. Okay? None. And I'm not going to!
Besides, I'm pretty sure Grumpy McMustache won't let anyone forget about the trees no matter what.
