"It's a tech company, sweetheart, filled with young people." "Cool." "And Dean is somebody who likes to at least pretend he's young, so..." "Got it." "No, that's great." "I'm happy for you."

"Looks like he's gotten on the actual ground and shoved an actual piece of shit in his mouth, and he's eating it, and you found him." "Yes, that's it." "That is it." "And you caught him with the shit in his mouth." "That's exactly the look, yes." "Yeah." "Huh." "That's interesting." "Right?" "Yeah." "What if he's fucking doing it again?"
