Laura: You’re my favorite person in the world

Laura: How are you?

Ben: As are, you mine.

Ben: Can we talk about how I said Troy Bolton was my first crush in one of my interviews recently and honestly I thought you should hear it from me first.

lucy: you think i could pull it off permanently? maybe between jobs, I'll try it out.

lucy: i'm glad! i'm good as well, happily settled into New York but living it up in Vegas this weekend. You, Lo and I need to get brunch or something. And Zo, if she's here!

ben: 100%. But I also believe you could pull off like pretty much anything.

Laura: LOVE OF MY LIFE

Laura: I know we spent most of last week together, but I miss you already

Ben: APPLE OF MY EYE

lucy: thank youu! i love blue hair, i honestly can't get enough of it.

lucy: how are you, darling?

ben: you should honestly consider blue as a permanent color.

lucy: it was so nice seeing you last night at the party, you handsome devil of a tin man!

You had me at iCarly. You can be the official enforcer of making that (capable) people dance.

Of course only capable people. I will start every encounter with a kind, but firm “are you capable of dancing?”

I walked right into that one. Very punny, Benjamin. I think it’s because we all enjoy each other’s company so much. What’s not to love?

Honestly, I couldn’t stop myself. No. It feels more than that. Like it’s not just enjoying each other’s company. Like I’m full on obsessed with you guys. 

Weird is definitely your brand. Alright, you could have a mean femur, if you insist. I was in Rhode Island this weekend, but now we get to reunite at 92nd Street Y to talk about The Politician! It’s a big reunion! I’m so excited!

I do insist. My femur is down right.... bad to the bone, as they say. Ba dum ch. I love that we consider this a bug reunion after being apart for like two weeks. Why are we all so addicted to each other? 

Please don’t pass out, although I do appreciate how polite you were in warning me about it! I look forward to seeing your moves! Everyone that can dance better dance!

Now that you’ve said that I’ll also be that guy screaming at people to dance because “Gaga said dance.” Just google Crazy Steve from ICarly for an appropriate mental image.

You’re quite a badass yourself! I’m a huge fan of Dear Evan Hansen and I’m dying to watch The Politician when I next have some downtime. Thank you! I’m excited to see you in person!

Excuse me whilst I pass out. You won’t miss me. I’ll be the one scream singing in the audience. There will definitely be dancing as well. 

Not nauseating. Just weird. You don’t have one mean bone in your body, stop lying! I’ve been in New York and it makes me miss you. 

Okay you’re right, super weird. But weird is my brand. Not even a mean femur? I’ve been in New York! Why are you missing me when I am waiting right here with open arms. 

Were you in on this, Ben? Because if I find out you and your prankster gang were tryna break my leg, I will come after you. I already have a retaliation plan in motion. Evan Peters, the pranking champ, is taking me under his wing and training to be the ultimate prankster.

Gasp. Zoey Deutch I could never. I am ashamed you would even accuse me. Evan terrifies me. Please for the love of God do not let him train you to murder me and make it look like an accident.
