How do you make somebody happy when they're convinced that they don't deserve it, probably because there are some people out there who want them to believe that?

No. You do.

You don't think the kid's ever done nothin' bad the whole time you've known him.

But, what if he decides he has and wants to change to "be a better person", thinks of his own past him as bad? You gonna argue with him like you do everyone else who calls him on his shit?

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

I'll tell him that he isn't a bad person, I mean, if he wants to change, I can't make him not change, but he shouldn't just because people like you think there's something wrong with him.

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

Do you even want him to change to be more confident? Or d'you think he's perfect there, too?

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

I want him to be happy. He doesn't even believe that he's worth that and I can't convince him otherwise.

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

Ain't that annoying?

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

Not annoying, just... I want to help.

[material_guy]

Tried gettin' mad at him? Tellin' him what a pain it is for the guy you're so up on to be so down on himself? That it's what gets you down?

That guy's probably your number one community headache. I see you worryin' about him more than I ever see you talkin' about problems you got on your own. Make him take responsibility a little bit.

[aquaticrush]

First of all, please stop wording things that way!

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

What way?

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

Nobody is on anybody and nobody needs to "take responsibility" and you did that on purpose!

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

...

[There's a long, silent stare and then:]

You got a dirty little mind sometimes.

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

*covers face* I don't!

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

Explains a part of why you get on so good with him! Are you guys two of a kind? Most people wouldn't figure he's that kind of a guy at a first glance, either...

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

I-I just-- you're that kind of person, and you've made that kind of joke before, so--!

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

What kinda person?

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

The kind who always thinks that kind of thing and makes those sorts of comments...

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

What kinda things 'n comments?

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

P-p-perverted ones!

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

What's perverted about sayin' the kid should be responsible? You'd say he's a responsible guy. Wouldn't you?

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

*Blush.* Well, yes...

[video|lock]

[material_guy]

So if there's anything perverted in this little talk about him... it must be in your head.

[video|lock]

[aquaticrush]

It's not! *Flail.*
