[She notices.]

Can I at least get you to not do criminal activities? You can be a prick, but the rest ...

[brushoff]

I suppose I could not do criminal activities.

[selfequipped]

Wow. It's such a struggle to be you, huh?

video.

[brushoff]

Isn't it though? [ an overdramatic siiiiiigh--and then back to joking around and grinning ] I don't think anyone else could stand it.

video.

[selfequipped]

Well, here's to hoping that no one else has to do it.

I don't know how I would keep the world from exploding.

[brushoff]

Shock and horror, you might have to ask for help.

video.

[selfequipped]

Well, I do have a good team to help with it.

[brushoff]

Your 'Young Avengers,' right?

video.

[selfequipped]

We're a pretty great bunch.

[brushoff]

Coming from someone who's completely ignorant about superhero groups, what do you all do?

video.

[selfequipped]

Will you really be shocked when I say that, aside from heroing, we keep most of our business on the DL?

[brushoff]

A secret young adult supergroup. You know that only makes me more interested.

I tend to spill more with encouragement. I believe you owe me an evening that involves quite a bit of wine, and probably dinner. [A beat.] Definitely dinner.

[brushoff]

White or red? Also, home cooking or going out to eat?

I will give you this warning though, I cook like...well, like a kid my age. It'll be simple, but not that glamorous.

[selfequipped]

Red, always red.

We can order in, but if you're too short on cash. [As he should be.] We can see what you can handle. I'm not in a position to judge. [Kate grew up with a chef. She really isn't.]

I can do rice--rice's cheap. Mind a luxurious meal of rice and frozen veg?

video.

[selfequipped]

Pizza and wine it is!

video.

[brushoff]

[ he can't help but laugh at that. ] In that case, I'll swing by a pizza place sometime later this week--my place or yours?

[selfequipped]

I think I might as well grace you with the opportunity to appreciate the purple decor of my apartment.

[brushoff]

A risky color scheme. Still, I think you can pull it off.

video.

[selfequipped]

Soon, you won't only think.

video.

[brushoff]

I'll know?

video.

[selfequipped]

Yes, that's generally the not-so-witty follow up to that.

video.

[brushoff]

I'm having an off day, don't blame me for that.

video.

[selfequipped]

And here I thought prison might make you cleverer.
