Simon and Rocky are alone together, Grace off teaching The Pebbles. They do NOT like each other. Simon threatened Grace when they first met and Rocky hasn't let it go, and Simon wants to fight the rock that keeps cussing him out in Eridian.
There's a reminder in the kitchen for Simon to take the special vitamins Grace has helped the Eridian scientists develop to get him back in tip-top shape, and he makes a comment about how in all his life, he has never met a human who is so kind and selfless. He thinks Rocky is just going to ignore him as usual.
As the audience, we know he says this because he comes from a universe where the stars have all died and everyone's Pretty Fucked Up About it, PLUS he's in love with Ryland Grace and is constantly thinking about how his hair and eyes look exactly like the sun and sky he's only just getting used to, so it's not that Ryland Grace is the only kind human in the universe...
BUT ROCKY, who has unlocked Grace's tragic backstory and is a protective motherfucker, has suspected for a while now that other humans Aren't All That and has been secretly celebrating Grace's lack of desire to return home. Meeting Simon, who immediately tried to attack his leaky space blob best friend only supported his theory. Now an actual human is saying Grace is the only good one!
"No human like Grace, statement."
"For once, the words coming out of your non-mouth isn't bullshit."
And that's how Simon and Rocky found common ground.
