Kick 'em in the balls?

[tucky]

No! Not all the time, anyway. I have done it before.

[beejfu]

Ha! Well, that's good, because I found out how much pain really sucks!

[tucky]

I think just making sure they know you're really and truly sorry will make a difference.

They might need time, though.

[beejfu]

How much time do you think? Because I've got another 20, 30 years tops before I'm recently deceased again.

[tucky]

I don't actually know Rhys and Hange too well, but probably not that long. Twenty or thirty years is a really long time for a human.

[beejfu]

Yeah? That's hopeful. I can do that time.

[tucky]

Just try to be a good listener, too. Hear what they have to say, even if it's hard.

[beejfu]

Because I get so easily distracted?

[tucky]

Or maybe they'll have things to say that won't make you very happy.

[beejfu]

I'm not gonna get mad if someone tells me they wanna say they loved the Joel Schumacher version of Phantom of the Opera.

[tucky]

And what if they describe in a lot of detail about how much it hurt them when you left without saying goodbye and how much they're having trouble trusting you now?

[beejfu]

[he falls silent]

[tucky]

You know, it. It means they love you. No one gets that hurt if they don't care.

[beejfu]

Hange doesn't love me. I don't know if Bill loves anybody except Ford.

[tucky]

[Her first impulse is to argue this, but. It's not as if it's something she's actually discussed with any of them.]

What about Rhys?

[beejfu]

I hurt him bad.

[tucky]

Because he loves you.

[beejfu]

I love him so much.

[tucky]

Does he know it?

[beejfu]

God I hope so, I say it often enough.

[tucky]

Okay, good.

And, you know, I wasn't just talking about the romantic kind of love. Hange and Bill probably care about you, too.

[beejfu]

Bill's petty. If he cared before, he doesn't now.

[tucky]

He can really just turn it off like that?

[beejfu]

He can do anything. He's Bill.
