Pleasure's mine—and yeah, not much of a point if these things are stuffy all the time.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Nah, controlled explosion. Totally predictable.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*Raises an eyebrow*
Unless you meant something else?

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

You've gotta, it keeps things fresh. Anything else just means you're getting boring. Predictable.

A couple of friends and I… We, uh, “Sooby Dude”d our way to the bottom of a murder mystery last year at school. And I also busted into my dad’s computer a couple of times.

See? She gets it. The boss could learn a thing or two from you.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I sure hope so.

So what role'd you get? You strike me as a rook, right? Or've we got a new queen on the board?

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Who knows? You’re predicting right now, not just guessing, so thanks for the educated insight on what my future might look like.
