"Something the matter?"

"Unfulfilled desires."

"Plague a lot of people, those do."

"They do," he agrees. "But I will persevere."

"Admirable."

"I think I've mentioned a few times how full of qualities I am."

"Averages made me think there would be… less positive ones."

"Arrogant, impatient, talk too much, not as clever as I like to think I am, should I go on?"

"I think we discussed a healthy self-ego before, and the others sound contestable…"

"I'm not a fundamentally patient person, doesn't mean I can't wait. I'm meddlesome, insistent, often pretend not to get a point to make a point, not risk-averse enough..."

"Some of those sound inconvenient."

He shrugs.

"But yes my qualities far outnumber my flaws."

"If those were the worst flaws you could find, definitely sounds so."

"I don't, like, kick puppies, nor am I, like, a racist. What other horrible things could lurk under the surface?"

"… I don't usually put time into curating a list of 'worst things'."

"But then how will you recognize them when you see them?"

"Usually by – like, it'd fit in such a list, the list just wasn't readily searchable?"

"But what if you miss things?"

"What, I see things and don't notice they're bad because no list?"

"Exactly!"

"I'm not sure it works that way."

"Does too! I say so."

"I doubt that assertion."

"Really? Prove me wrong then."

"I – feel like that'd be a hard thing to do?"
