[Billy flinches a little when B says 'dead side.' Even though he figured it out, hearing him say it was another thing.
Still, even though he's a little bit relieved that B didn't just like, forgive the woman who JFK'd him like nothing happened, it's weird to think of the Leading Player as having friends.
But one thing that Billy's gotten a lot better at, over his own game, and over the last five years... is reading others. His twitching stops, a look of concern on his face.]
What? No, of course we're gonna come see you. And we'll bring both your goddaughters and you can introduce them to all your new friends - [because B makes friends wherever he goes.]
And if she tries to like, I don't know, put a Sleeping Beauty curse on them or something, then... she'll have to get through Mama Bear Anna, I guess. But that's not- we'll deal with that if it happens.
Alright? [He puts on a smile.] It's alright now, B. It's over. We'll see you at Denny's.
