Ethan: Do I really snore?

Eli: Bode and I took a pledge not to fly private anymore unless it’s an emergency.

Zadie: Congratulations. Are you getting an award for this act of bravery?

Brooklyn: Probably (eye roll)

Juno: They totally deserve it – such an amazing sacrifice. How do you even manage?

Eli: (middle finger emoji)

Will: Don’t be too hard on him. He’s trying.

Eli: Exactly.

James: Keene, if you’d wanted to avoid the commercial flight, you could have flown Air Force One with me.

Keene: I thought you weren’t coming.

Elizabeth: We’ve worked it out to swing by before the conference in Brussels for a quick trip.

Juno: Yay!!!!!!

Zadie: That’s the best news.

Brooklyn: Everyone will be together. I can’t wait.

Keene: You guys know I’m just joking about the private flight, right?

Will: No. I’m pretty sure you’re spoiled.

Keene: I am spoiled, but I don’t mind flying commercial. I get to meet more people that way.

Juno: Who are you meeting? You sat beside Eli.

Keene: I don’t know. Maybe I’ll meet someone at the bathroom or something?

Declan: The bathroom? What sort of people are you meeting at the bathroom?

Keene (shrugging emoji) I can dream, right?

Juno: This is turning into some sort of weird fantasy. I don’t want to hear anymore.

Eli: Agreed.
