'Vince you're IN My Rotom Phone-you know you could just talk to me normally right?'
'I know, I know but-wanted to keep things on the down-low for now. Y'know-real inconspicuous-like.'
'Since when has inconspicuous been in your dictionary?'
'....Fair point-BUT-I know things have been pretty weird lately, I've been keepin' an eye out for that Alex guy myself-seems like one helluva mess your curiosity got us into kid, but hey-It happens to the best of us-ESPECIALLY My crazy ass!'
'I know, I know, I just-this is my fault, isnt it..? All because I wanted to know so BADLY what was down there in Area Zero-what all those secrets mean...Arc, I-...'
'...Vince, I'm-I'm scared. Scared I'm starting to turn into-HIM.'

'...Ohhhh...THE guy. ...Kid, I know I wasn't there for all of that-Arc knows, I woulda done anythin' to be able to protect you an' Will back then-...but from the way you talk about the guy, It don't seem like that's-ALL a bad thing? ...You said it yourself, he was your friend-there was GOOD Bits in him. ...That's the thing 'bout you, kid-you see the BEST in people, even people like me who fuck up-just about their whole lives and then some. ..So maybe-Maybe he'd WANT you to remember that part of him...?'
'...And you say you're not good at big cheesy speeches, you walking grape.'
'PFF-...Thanks Vin. I needed that.'
'Anytime, kiddo. Anytime. ..So what're we gonna do now...?'
'I-....all this talk about-...you know who-I just-...I need to think...'
