But... Tobias and I are friends... I think.

[ A beat. ]

Are you only nice to me because of him?

It's about half and half. I'm nice to you because I enjoy your company but also because I want us to have a good relationship in other people's eyes.

In other people's eyes...? [ Uh. ] I-is that important?

Of course it is! Image isn't everything, but it's damn close.

Um, but why? Who is it important to?

Everybody. Or, at least, me.

You don't think that's uh, well... kind of strange?

Of course it's not strange to pay attention to my image. That's called having self-interest.

But does anyone care about that? I don't think about it that much.

Well I care about it. And Toby, and probably Will...I'm sure I can name more.

You sound like Reggie like that...
