my perfect silence

Of course not.

If there is, you can tell me.

I’m glad it’s amusing you.

Is there a problem with me speaking to Laura?

Well, she’s better at hiding the demon that lives inside of her than I thought.

This is a rather different side to you.

We just don’t get along, Noah. That happens and it’s perfectly normal.

She seems nice and honest to me, that's all.

I’m afraid the words someone special don’t exist in my dictionary.

I don’t know what she’s told you, but we are not friends. She’s dicey and ridiculous and I wouldn’t believe anything she says.

I-.. has something happened between you two? Am I missing an incredible piece to this?

No, of course not. It’s because she’s a bitch.

Well.. right. Why is this?

I’m not. I’m not worried. I’m just surprised you guys know each other.

That's good. Is that because she's a stripper?

Excuse me, what? How do you even know her?

She's a friend, I met her here. Why do you look so.. worried?

Do I wear hats? I guess I do, sometimes. Why do you ask?

Laura mentioned that she thought she found a hat that belonged to you, and asked where you worked so she could return it. Not that I could answer, of course.

I’m sorry. Or not. I guess it depends. Happy to hear that.

That's okay. So do you have anyone in the picture?

Oh yeah, can’t disagree with you there.

Do you wear hats?

Personally I think everyone is. I don’t know about you yet… How’s the girlfriend, by the way?

I see. I would probably say I was, in a way. Chloe's good.

Blame it on my terrible timing.

I'd rather call it perfect timing.

Because damaged people are the most dangerous. And they can be found here.

And who here is damaged?

I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to walk in on you. Carry on.

You seem to be making a habit of this.

Why is what?

It dangerous here.
