“wow, good one lance.”

“i’m a savage.”

“Say it like you mean it, Lance. Don’t just rub it in.”

“i mean it, noah. i miss you, and fish is nice, but dogs aren’t the same as people, and you’re my people.”

“i’m confident but realistic.”

“you’re a lame party pooper.”

“Do you really have to find videos of dancers falling? Couldn’t you just watch trainees practice until one of them messes up if you want to see it that badly?”

“it’s less funny if i know them.”

“Doesn’t matter. You had your chance.”

“noah, please. i’ll win you back.”

“cold, maybe. but practical.”

“who even are you?”

lance is growing out his hair again. if you have a problem with it he has a bigger problem with you

“i mean i’ve made missteps, but i don’t think i’ve ever tripped.”

“too bad because that’d be real funny.”

“ah yes. because everyone is always clamoring for third-best.”

“that’s cold, man.”

“Not to come off like a pretentious dick but, when’s the last time you saw a ballerina even kinda stumble? Because that was me growing up, just without the fucking tutu.”

“i dunno. fail compilations on youtube.”

“How are you even gonna convert her? She’s spends enough time around Noah that I figured he would’ve rubbed off on her.”

“aggressively meme until she breaks and memes too. noah is powerful, but he’s even more powerful with us behind him.’

“How do you convert someone to be a meme, though? Seola can’t even train me to at least try not to say the first dumb thing that comes into my head. Maybe Seola just needs more exposure therapy to the idiots she’s stuck with,” Noah laughed. “So, me.”

“that’s what i mean-- exposure therapy. we need to overwhelm her until she’s one of us.”

“Lance Kim, please do not get left behind in South America. Long distance never works, so I’d have to find a new boyfriend and I happen to like the one I already have very much. Are you planning on getting left behind somewhere without me?”
