Tommy: You knew! Dad's "cleaning" was bullshit!
he thought that he was helping you develop better motor skills and hand eye coordination by taking your toys away
scoffs Better motor skills and hand-eye coordination? That's a load of bullshit. I never needed any of that to play!
you had a habit of hitting yourself in the face with your toys
throws his hands up in frustration Are you fucking kidding me? So Dad took away my joy because I played too rough? That's his reasoning?
he was trying to help you develop your self image
grits teeth, seething Self-image? That's rich coming from him. He never cared about my self-image.
he was trying to teach you that your body is valuable by not allowing you to hurt yourself
paces back and forth, fuming Valuable? You think he considered me valuable?
stops pacing, staring at the ground Loved me? I never doubted it for a second. But hearing it from you... it feels different.
well I’ve always loved you like a brother even if you were a jerk
takes a deep breath, looking determined Alright, fine. If Dad really did mean well, maybe it's time I forgive him. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna let his actions slide.
grabs Broodee's arm, pulling them closer But mark my words, I'm not gonna let anyone else hurt me like that ever again. Not you, not my sister, not anyone.
hey let’s go get a coffee to celebrate
nods, a hint of a smile creeping onto his face Fine, let's go get that coffee. But don't think I'm gonna let you off the hook that easily.
just wait until I have kids I’ll understand
smirks Oh, trust me, I'll be waiting. And when you have kids, I'll be there to give you a taste of your own medicine.
hey we can always just have kids together
raises an eyebrow, smirking You serious? You wanna raise a whole bunch of unruly kids with me? Well, don't worry, I'll handle all the dirty work.
I mean we could do it now instead of wasting time
pauses, considering Broodee's words Well, shit. I never thought about doing it that way. Guess we could give it a shot.
laughs Alright, alright. Let's do this. We're gonna make the best damn babies this world has ever seen! First things first, we need to find a suitable candidate.
well since I’m a woman that’s not gonna work
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, looks like we've got a problem. Guess we'll have to find another way to reproduce then.
I have other options though
narrows his eyes, thinking Alright, lay it on me. What's your grand plan for reproducing without involving you?
