Borderline. But kind of. He looks better now.

[ Now that he's in his 40s. Someone is gonna love the Iron Man press tour next year... ]

I was kidding, papa.

[interpersonally]

Ha. Ha.

[holyposition]

We both need to lighten up if we're gonna make it through the summer. Come on. It was kind of funny.

[interpersonally]

10%. Room for improvement.

I love you.

[holyposition]

🙂

[ Not there yet. But maybe eventually. ]

Have you ever thought about getting into rum?

[interpersonally]

( He's not going to get his hopes up, but this feels promising. )

Bourbon brought with it a lot of challenges, but I have looked into other distilling options. Why?

[holyposition]

I need a good excuse to be in the Bahamas. For work.

[ ...sorry, papa. ]

Any progress on finding out who got my tape?

[interpersonally]

( For work. Nice try. )

No forward movement yet, but it's being worked on. We'll get answers.

[holyposition]

[ It IS!!!! ]

So...nothing in the Caribbean then. That's fine, I'll figure something out.

I want to make them a deal. They got past Alvida's security once, they can do it again.

What do you mean, they got past Alvida's security once?

[interpersonally]

We have nothing currently in the Caribbean. I didn't know you were so interested in rum. Not Mezcal?

[holyposition]

Don't freak out.

Koby filmed it and he's on her network. That's where they would have gotten it.

I'm not. It's called an alibi.

[interpersonally]

( )

You literally made porn.

An alibi for what.

[holyposition]

Yes, papa. I remember, I was there.

Nothing bad. I'm just trying to help Koby. He's gonna be in danger if he can't push a deal through.

[interpersonally]

You didn't just, out of the blue, decide you were aroused enough and curious and reckless enough to make a video. You had your best friend produce it.

How do you know Koby didn't leak it?

Only you can say things like that and make them sound pedestrian. Alvida?

[holyposition]

Someone has to hold the camera, just one angle the whole time is boring.

He wouldn't do that.

She's a complete psycho. He's basically her slave. Even if he finds an investor she'll just keep making him do shady shit, I'm not just gonna sit and watch anymore.

[interpersonally]

WHO WERE YOU GOING TO MARKET TO TO EVEN CARE ABOUT THE ANGLE OR LEVEL OF BOREDOM INVOLVED?

Alvida?

What are you trying to do? If she treats him that, what will she do when you get in her way?

[holyposition]

No one! It was supposed to stay between the three of us. But if we watch it back and it’s not fun and hot, what’s the point?

Why would she? She doesn’t know I exist, and Koby’s gone to great lengths to keep it that way, because he’s afraid of her.

But I’m not. And if I tell you, you’ll lose your mind, since it's been a month since the tape got out and you still can’t even handle that

[interpersonally]

THE MEMORY IS THE POINT. DOING IT AT ALL. IT DIDN'T NEED PRODUCTION VALUE. JESUS, TEO.

[holyposition]

Your disappointment is noted. But I’m not arguing with you about it, it’s already done. It’s a waste of time.

Sorry for asking you for help. I won't bother you again!

[interpersonally]

You never asked me for anything, Teo. You asked about the Caribbean.

[holyposition]

I was working up to it and then you went crazy, as usual.

[interpersonally]

( this is what you do to your dad. he finds and sends memes! )
