Empathetic way to be

You just have to be able to hold a proper breath for it. I think that’s really it.

Well you do it far better than I ever could. It's a shame you don't see them played more often.

Of course I want to be your awesome butt-kicking partner! We can fight crime and save the world.

Yay! Welcome to my gang. I uh..I mean, superhero team. We'll be the best duo.

[smiles] Usually Americans get annoyed by it, so I’m glad there’s someone who appreciates it.

Really? That seems silly. It's a really cool instrument, and it must be tricky to play so well. I just have respect for it.

Oh, that would be terrible.

So terrible. I don't think I'd be able to handle either to be honest.

[grins] Don’t you have a friend who’s on the lacrosse team? He sure can kick butt.

I do. I've seen him kick butt. Alright, I've made my choice. Wanna be my awesome butt kicking partner?

No fun what so ever. I think it' be even less fun than listening to bagpipes being played badly for several hours.

It's like a family tradition. That's really neat. You're very good. I've never seen anyone play one in front of me before. It's quite exciting.

An action movie would be fun. But I'd need an awesome butt kicking friend to make it a tag team. Hmm, who could that be?

That's me. I even have a genius partner in crime and a vicious guard dog. Super serious gang leader. 

Oh shush! Don't start that. I'm the roughest, toughest thug in New York. Now you know, you best not get on my bad side.

Exactly. Hopefully I won't ever get a nose bleed that requires tampon based assistance.

Um, I've always been a thug. How did you not notice? I mean all my tattoo's and my mean expressions. 

It is so cheating. You know by now that I have a weakness for cute animals. They break through my otherwise thugish exterior.

Good point. In that case they might get a few sympathetic glances. It'd be nice to know they understand your awkwardness.

[nods] It's lovely. You're really good at playing it. 

You do. I'm easily won over by Disney or anything similar. I feel like using that is cheating.
