What starts as a joke quickly turns into a challenge.
At least, as far as Eddie's concerned.
Eddie: "Would you still love me if I was a worm?"
Steve: "I'd carry you around in my pocket everywhere I go so you'd be safe from the robins."
No hesitation. No teasing smile. No doubts.
It becomes war after that.
Eddie: "Would you still love me if I was a fish?"
Steve: "I'd find a way to ban fishing so you could make friends in the lake without worrying about ending up on someone's dinner plate."
Eddie: "Would you still love me if I was a chewed up pencil?"
Steve: "I'd steal Nancy's good pencil pouch to keep you comfortable."
Eddie: "Would you still love me if I was a potato?"
Steve: "I'd give up carbs so you'd never have to see me eating your kind."
Eddie: "Would you still love me if I was pigeon sh*t on the sidewalk?"
Steve: "I'd scoop you up and frame you in my room so nobody could wipe you away."
Eddie: "Would you still love me if I was a chewed up wad of gum in your hair?!"
And just when Eddie thinks he's finally got him-
Steve: "You know, a haircut might do me some good. New style...could be exciting."
Steve: "I'd start a gum collection in your honor afterwards-"
Eddie: "You smooth motherf**ker!"
