Jamie: Kruger, you eat a thesaurus for breakfast, bro?

Max: Jess probably hit him upside the head with it.

Arsen: *laughing emoji* x3

Jess: I think I need a refresher. Who exactly is Malibu Barbie?

Rory: Rush’s old BFF from Cali. His actual name is Bodhi.

Jess: I don’t think I met him.

Arsen: Me neither.

Kruger: Consider yourselves lucky.

Madison: He was here briefly last semester.

Lars: It didn’t go very well.

Win: That’s an understatement. Is he really in town?

Ryan: Rush?

Rush: Yeah, Bodhi is in town.

Jamie: This is a safe space, bro. Please share more.

Prism: *peace emoji*

Kruger: Bro, if you ever had an original line, it would die of loneliness.

Prism: *sad face*

Kruger: Not you, P. Your emojis are like sprinkles to this bland conversation cupcake.

Max: Is there an intermission to this shitshow?

Lars: Maybe we should just give Rush a chance to explain.

Rush: Bodhi called me from jail.

Ryan: The same jail you were in?

Rush: Har-har, Walsh. I can barely contain my laughter. And no, it wasn’t the same jail. He was in a worse one.

Lars: Is he okay?

Win: No, angel. His life is as pleasant as he is.

Landry: It’s really sweet of you to ask, Lars. *heart emoji*

Madison: Especially after the way he treated you.

Arsen: He wasn’t nice to Lars?

Win: You got to be a bad bro to be mean to an angel.

Lars: He had his reasons.
