h2: huh imagine that.
r: Listen: I know what it's like to have that animal in your head.
r: All of us here do. That's why we're here! I throw these parties every weekend so we can forget our worries, forget that animal.
h2: but my anxiety...
r: Don't worry, kid. I used to be like you. But then I discovered a little trick to make that beast shut up forever...

h2: Ah that hits the spot.
r: You know, kid...
h2: Specifically, the spots hit are my left and right amygdala.
r: You remind me of myself when I was younger. Back when I was tormented by the animal in my head.
r: I'm proud to help you get rid of it. It's almost like a... parental... sort of pride.

r: Hey, quick question: truth or da--
h2: DARE!
r: Haha! Good.
r: Ok. You see that swimming pool down there?
h2: Yeah? Ten floors down?
r: Jump in.
h2: ...
h2: Wait, what?
r: The animal's started whining, hasn't it?
r: Oh nooooo it's dangerous, don't do iiiiit.
r: But that's exactly why we need to do thrilling, death-defying stunts! Party hard! Carpe diem! Snort coke off a hooker's butt, hashtag #YOLO!
r: Show that animal we don't give two dicks about its bitching! Jump.
h2: Uh, but sometimes, um... fear has a point...
r: ...
r: ...
r: I'm sorry, did you fall for that "mindfulness" fad bullshit that claims feeling bad is good?
r: Pleasure is the opposite of pain. There-fucking-fore, you can use pleasure to fight pain! How goddamn stupid are those California-Buddhists to not see that?!
r: Kid, I know that you know that animal hurts people like us. It tortures people like us.
r: It's not your fucking friend. It's a savage beast that needs to be tranquilized,
r: Or taken to the shed to be shot in the back of the skull.
r: Otherwise, you're going to let it win.
h2: ...you're wrong.
h2: I'm not going to let it win.
r: Fuck yeah! I believe in you, babe! Kill it! <3

r: Aw come on. After everything it put you through, you're just walking away?!
r: What's the matter, kid? You scared?
h2: Yes.
h2: I'm scared.
h2: And that's okay!
h2: It's okay to be scared.
r: Did they just lock the door?
