You need to be a good deal less egotistical, actually, I think that would serve you quite well. You'd learn humility.

[doggedly]

Sorry, you're thinking of James. He's the one that needs the adjusted ego.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, but you as well. You're far too smirky when it comes to girls.

[doggedly]

With reason, thanks. And no blows to my ego from you can ever hope to shake that, actually.

[theshabbiestofmen]

And yet I keep trying, in the hopes that perhaps someday you'll be slightly less of a prat.

[doggedly]

I'm not a prat! That is entirely the wrong word to use for me-- really, Moony! Cruel!

[theshabbiestofmen]

Arrogant, then? What would you prefer?

[doggedly]

I'm not having this conversation. I'm not telling you how best to insult me. Me, one of your best mates!

[theshabbiestofmen]

You do it to me, you know, I hardly see why it's unfair the other way around.

[doggedly]

Because it's my job to do it to you, Remus.

[theshabbiestofmen]

It most certainly is not!

[doggedly]

It is! You need me, mate--that's my role in your life. Or one of my roles, anyway. Just think of it, where would you be without me keeping you grounded.

[theshabbiestofmen]

A good deal happier and more well adjusted, I should think.

[doggedly]

Happier?

[theshabbiestofmen]

Well. Perhaps more studious.

[doggedly]

And thus unhappier. I'm glad we've reached this conclusion: studying makes you unhappy.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Oh, yes, well, let me go and burn all my books, why don't I.

[doggedly]

Oh, no, let me! You know I've always wanted to--

[theshabbiestofmen]

You can't, anyway, they've all been left behind. I've had to content myself with stories from the library here-- which are fascinating, but very strange.

[doggedly]

Oh, well. S'ppose I could set sights on that library...

[theshabbiestofmen]

It's digital, Pads, and I'm starting to think they did that just because you were coming.

[doggedly]

[He heaves a sigh.]

Awful. I hate the future. Everything is unfair here.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Considering we're sailing among the stars, I shouldn't think it's all bad.

[doggedly]

[Miserably:] No motorbikes.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[Briskly:]

You can fly on your motorbike when we go home.
