LOWE: I know those guys don't really like me, but I think that went... well enough! REED: Huh??? That's not even true... Areca's like, your best friend? (Also, that was awful...) LOWE: Huh? Oh, no...
LOWE: I mean, I think they're great. Don't get me wrong. But like, ya know. I'm just Lowe. REED: You're insecure or something. LOWE: Insecure? There's nothing wrong with me. REED: If you say so, dude. LOWE: I'M FINE!
