CHRISTIAN: Come on, we just getting to know each other; don’t tell me you’re still gonna leave and travel the worlds now? 
LAVENDER: ( Laughs ) you can always come with me; there’s clubs everywhere – you can do your own DJ tour.
CHRISTIAN: For real? You think so? 
ALICIA: Did Lola get to meet Meg? 
RAE: Yeah; she’s shooting her shot as we speak. Gotta love her confidence. 
ALICIA: You certainly know about confidence; who hits on someone while they’re in the middle of a dating show?
RAE: I listened to the podcast; the minute y’all friendzoned, I knew I was comin’ for you.
ALICIA: Well, you got my attention; what are you planning to do to keep it? 
RAE: I get attention for a living; I’m not worried about that. Question is – you gonna be able to keep up?
LAVENDER: I know it’s spontaneous, but it might be nice having some company. Let me know what you think; I’ll be here for at least another day or two.
CHRISTIAN: How about this – me and my crew are all set up to go to the Stem parties; if you can chill for a little bit, then I’ll take that ride with you afterwards?
LAVENDER: I don’t know; it’s gonna be weird going to those parties with people looking at me weird and everything.
CHRISTIAN: You ain’t gotta worry about none of that. I’mma be with you; ain’t nobody messing witchu if you wit me. 
CHRISTIAN: Uh, I hope I’m not disturbing you. But I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself if I didn’t come over and say hello. I’m Chris. 
LAVENDER: Nice to meet you.
CHRISTIAN: Just wanted you to know that I thought what you said about therapy and growth was really beautiful. It takes a lot of strength to do what you’re doing. 
LAVENDER: Thanks – I don’t feel very strong, unfortunately. 
CHRISTIAN: Are you kidding? It takes balls to put yourself out there. Plus, tell everyone you’re going to therapy on top of that? Come on – you gotta give yourself some credit for that. 
LAVENDER: Really? I’m sorry, I’m terrible with names. What’s your name again?
CHRISTIAN: Chris. Maybe you’ll remember me as Lavender Dream?
( Netta claps her hand to her forehead )
LAVENDER: Lavender Dream? The one person who always had my back in the chat? 
CHRISTIAN: For sure; I was rootin’ for you since day one.
I hope this doesn’t upset you, but I low-key hoped you didn’t wind up with Soren, cause I wanted a shot myself. And I promised myself to buy you a drink if I ever got the chance to meet you.
LAVENDER: I’d love that. 
NETTA: Oh my godddddddd…
ZALE: Oh boy.
XOCHITL: Anybody else call you Clem, or just Babs? 
CLEMENTINE: No – other people call me that sometimes. You look familiar; have we met before? 
XOCHITL: Kind of. I’m Xo – you may remember me better as the flower girl?
CLEMENTINE: That’s right! You look, – different. 
BUDDAH: you gotta learn how to start saying no, Jude; I know Logan can be pushy, but if you burn yourself out, you’re no good to anybody.
JUDE:  Terra… The anniversary issue is being put together right now. We still have more interviews to cover, and don’t get me started on the events.
BUDDAH: I got you – tell me what you need. Shoot me a list and I’ll cover it. Just give me collab credit. 
JUDE: you’re a lifesaver. Thank you. Buddha?… How do you keep your relationship together with the schedule you keep?
BUDDAH: it’s a lot more simple than it sounds; when we want to take a break, we take it. If they want me, they’ll wait. As for the deadlines? Grind, drop it off, then get the hell on.
Hero takes his work with him everywhere we go. He never lets a project tie him down.
Look – send me the itinerary. Finish your shortlist, then disappear. I’ll call you if I need anything.
JUDE: I can’t thank you enough. Truly. I’ll send it over now.
BUDDAH: You got it, babe. 
(To Hiro) Get your go bag, babe. We’re leaving in the morning.
