1. I'm damn glad I've gotten to meet and know you. It's one of the best things to come out of this mess.

2. If I ever get the chance, I'm going to saw off your head with a rusty blade and sodomize your still spasming eye socket.

3. You're likely to get me killed again, I think.

4. If you ever leave me, I think I really would be lost.

5. Sometimes I forget we didn't grow up together.

6. You fascinate me. I wish I had more time to talk with you.

7. I never thought I'd find a friend I held as dear as my brothers, but then I met you.

8. It's nice to have a lady friend who is strictly a friend! It may sound odd, but I greatly appreciate that there's no hint of attraction between us.

I'm number 6, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

However could you tell?

Oh, just luck and logic.

Luck? Well then, no gold star for you.

Spiteful.

What? Can't reward a fellow for luck alone, can you?

You can have some other color. How 'bout a nice shiny red one?

Men are born for games and nothing else. Even a child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them.

In other words: you still win if you get a lucky hand.

But I'll take the red one.

Winning's not the same as being rewarded, if we want to wax philosophical about it.

I'm not the universe or natural law or a game of chance. I'm the man with the little sticky stars.

Close enough.

Oh come on, that doesn't even look like a star! Lest it's supposed to after it just gave birth.

Bert, why would you want to do that to my eye socket?

I'm getting out of this while there's still time.

...oh dear sweet gods, no Cordy, that takes things beyond funny to terribly unpleasant...

I'm not the one likely to get you killed, am I?

...why'd you leap to that?

Just wondering.

[Pause.]

I guess I'm hoping I'm one, but that seems like a pretty arrogant guess on my part. Not that I have a problem with being arrogant, mind you, but I'd like not to fall flat on my face at the same time.
