[threshes]

Honey, I've seen generations of em rise and fall. Entire civilizations. I ain't wrong.

[nobasisinfact]

Are you finished?

[threshes]

Never.

[nobasisinfact]

Do you often give unsolicited advice?

[threshes]

It ain’t unsolicited when you’re a goddess, brother.

[nobasisinfact]

I don't believe in gods.

[threshes]

That’s okay. We believe in you, honey.

[nobasisinfact]

I couldn't care less if you did.

[threshes]

Of course not.

[nobasisinfact]

Are you finished?

[threshes]

Not even remotely, honey.

[nobasisinfact]

Then please, go away.


[Look, he's being nice.]

[threshes]

We'll see.
