[robopriest]

Good with computers, huh? So what, can he hack into the government and spy on you that way?

[suddenlybees]

Yeah, probably! Look, I'd rather not get scolded by him, so I'd prefer to just keep my head down, yeah? Like, how am I supposed to explain any of this to him?

[robopriest]

[...]

[He just smirks lightly to himself.]

You like running people in circles, Kano, don't you?

[suddenlybees]

[ ... ]

I like to think of it as leading. Can you keep up? Can you figure out where we're going? Or would you rather just give up and turn around, 'cause that's alright too.

[robopriest]

[Dryly:]

Mom, are we there yet?

[suddenlybees]

Not yet! Unfortunately, it's gonna be an overnight trip, so we won't get there until tomorrow~

[robopriest]

What if I don't want to get there tomorrow? I'm a pretty impatient kid.

[suddenlybees]

We're kinda hurtling down the freeway at a hundred kilometers an hour, so, like, if you're gonna jump, it'll be at your own peril.

[robopriest]

Oh, that's pretty fun. And I don't think I want to jump. Not yet, anyways.

[suddenlybees]

Too bad I'm gonna, like, have to forcibly eject you before we crash. You don't get to stay in my car.

[robopriest]

We still have some time before that happens. Come on, don't you want me to enjoy the sights for a little bit?

[suddenlybees]

No. There's nothing to see. You don't get to do that.

[ YOU GUYS DON'T GET TO POPCORN SOMEBODY'S EXECUTION, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, HUH ]

[robopriest]

Says who? You?

[WHAT WERE THEY GOING TO DO, PRETEND IT WASN'T HAPPENING??]

[suddenlybees]

Yeah, me.

[ YEAH!! MAYBE CLOSE YOUR EYE? GO BACK TO SLEEP?? ]

[robopriest]

And what power do you have for that kind of thing?

[too bad, he rebels against authority]

[suddenlybees]

I'm the one driving the car.

[ //////////: ]

[robopriest]

...Are you old enough for that?

[this metaphor is getting out of hand]

[suddenlybees]

Like... legally, or practically?

[ Because, uh. 8-year-old Ori has definitely driven a car around a supermarket parking lot before. Don't tell. ]

[robopriest]

[ORI...]

Are you even tall enough to reach the pedals?

[suddenlybees]

You're lucky this barrier is here so I can't tear you limb from limb.

[robopriest]

Ha! I'd like to see you try.

[suddenlybees]

Meet me in the pit tomorrow and let's go.

[robopriest]

[He smirks.]

I'm not going to call your bluff, Kano. And I might do terrible things, in what I do...but killing innocents isn't one of them.

[suddenlybees]

You're saying that as if I'm innocent. Maybe I was in this instance, but how can you judge the rest of my existence?

[ angry teen voice: you don't know me!! ]

[robopriest]

[He shakes his head.]

I'm not judging anything. You might be a serial killer, for all I know. What do I care? For this act, for this moment, you're certified innocent. Are you going to tell me that isn't the case?
