Beggars can’t be choosers, brother.
Brinkley
Agreed. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

I love Maxine Langley. They brought her to The Tipsy Tea last time I was there with Gracie, and they were buying her a tutu.
Cage
Yeah. She’s wearing some sort of fucking skirt. They dropped her off here for a few hours because Martha claims I’m the only person Maxine will tolerate. Apparently, I’m a fucking babysitter?
Don’t you offer to board animals at the clinic?
Cage
Maxine doesn’t like being put in closed quarters. She thinks she’s fucking human. So now this is my headache. When we put her in a crate, she squealed like someone was cutting off a fucking limb. So now she’s just walking free in my office while her parents are off doing God knows what, and I’m trying to run a business here.
Georgia
Maddox and I will come visit. I love Maxine. Did you know that she can play video games? Martha told me she plays with people all over the world, and she wears a headset.
Hugh
You can’t make this shit up. How the fuck is a pig playing video games?
Brinkley
Maybe she thinks she’ll win over Cage with her mad Madden skills?
Cage
Let’s put our attention back on the interview. You’re going to do fine, Finny. Acting like you’re in love with your best friend won’t take any real skill, because I think your fake relationship is not fake at all. There. I said it.
Well, you’ve said it many times. Doesn’t make it true just because Cage Reynolds says it. Although, I’m sure Maxine, the pig who is currently imprinting on you, would listen to anything you had to say.
Georgia
Be honest, Finny. Have you never thought about being with Reese?
Reese is in love with Carl.
Hugh
I like the way you avoided that question.
Brinkley
I noticed that, too. Maybe Reese doesn’t know you’d be willing to date for real. I mean, your track record is a big red flag for someone who likes to be in committed relationships.
I wouldn’t even know how to date for real. And I’d never risk fucking up our friendship. We made a pact years ago not to cross the line.
