You know that I appreciate being thought of. Of course, I do, who wouldn't? But, if you'll excuse the pun: I feel like you may be a bit rusty.

Man. I can't imagine who wouldn't want to keep up with you, Dylan.

I think I speak for all when I say how lucky it is that the threads of reality don't depend on your imagination.

We all like attention, Mr. Gould. Don't knock it while you've got it.

It's just a gentle suggestion! A good car needs a good wax; I'm just encouraging routine maintenance.

I can't argue the ritualistic maintenance, of course.

However, needing maintenance itself is a compliment, I think. Means we are worth something, in the long run.

As if your worth was ever in question, Miss Banes.

Yeah? Yeah, you know, I can think of a few people who'd be pretty screwed if it did.

Of course not.

[Eye twinkle.]

It was all rhetorical, naturally.

You can think?

Oh. Oh, that's funny. You're a funny guy.

Really.

Naturally. I presume you're, ah...up to factory standards these days?

You seem a little tense, Sam.

Me? Tense? Ha! No. Why would I be tense?

I mean, it's not like you're some asshole bent on destroying the world or enslaving the human race or anything.

I think I commented only a moment ago on your imagination...

I'm a pretty creative guy.

And you take fairly generous creative license in the way that you, uh, paint me. You're being a little harsh, Sam.

Soundwave's pet? My. This is unexpected.

I am, and always will be, above factory standards, Mr. Gould.

Actually, I said it wasn't like that. But hey, if you've got a heavy conscience about something...

Soundwave's...well. Not a disappointing surprise, I hope.

Your upkeep is impeccable. I shouldn't have even asked.

Honestly sir, I don't even know why you did.

Silly Sammy, you know I don't have a conscience.

Sir?

I never would have figured that one out-

Yes. I said that. [He loves giving Soundwave's pals flack. Just a little, though.] Mm. Can't say disappointing. It's always interesting t'see folks from home, after all.

[Tsk!] Happily it's easy for me to spell out.

Do you get a lot of joy out of these interactions?

And it's always a pleasure to encounter a colleague in strange waters.

You haven't... [Ahem.] I don't imagine you've seen Soundwave?

[Sam? No. His mun? Definitely.]

Awww. Come on.

I figured we could finally put that whole 'kidnapping my girlfriend' thing behind us. Maybe trade hair products. Shampoos. It'd be great.

Soundwave? Mm. Not lately.

[Not the one he's looking for, anyway.]

Not that I'm exactly friendly with him. Or that I'd actively seek him out.

I do love a good shampoo. As a matter of fact, I have my...stylist's number just here... [JUST LET HIM GET IN HIS JACKET POCKET]

[Wait. Wait, is he really-]

Wow. Uh. Thanks.

Ah. You don't seem to need too much direct supervision from what I've gathered. Of course you wouldn't. [ ; C ; ]

[thats for you, put that in your mouth, chew on that] I'll let her know to look out for you. Why don't you take the first visit on me, Sammy?

I'm not much for supervision anyway. Especially not supervision with data cables. I wouldn't worry, sprat. He's probably around somewhere.

That's really... generous. Of you.

But I think I've got it covered. You know. With that whole job thing. Makin' money.

Yep.

It's just a favor. Let me do you a favor.

[Smirk.]

What, you don't like politeness?

You mean like that favour where you got me my job?

I think I'm good. I don't need anymore favours. Thanks.
