AVERY: What would?
BLAKE: M.A.S.H. is required reading, no?

AVERY: I ask for the end of the patriarchy, systemic racism, and capitalism.
BLAKE: And a cheese plate with pickles.
AVERY: Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger.
BLAKE: New spaces make for great ages.
AVERY: Wait, how old is she?

AVERY: I wonder why I can’t think of anything
BLAKE: Well, sprinkles have that effect
AVERY: Who’s sprinkles?
BLAKE: My sprinkles
AVERY: Are your sprinkles colorful?
BLAKE: Any licorice?
AVERY: That’s my asset!
BLAKE: Snack snack.
AVERY: What good jelly
