Jack: Damn, Davey, are you secretly cool?
Davey: Well, poker is just math, so I guess it depends on if you consider the mathematician, Carl Friedrich Gauss, cool.
Jack: I do not.

hmmmm.
david is a used bookstore clerk with a crush on the guy who runs the art store across the street (not the owner; the only manager they have who knows what he’s doing). they keep running into each other at the coffeeshop down the block, where the baristas are watching with interest, and at surprisingly frequent intervals out in the world. jack is sweet and funny and knows a lot about paint, and there’s no way he’s interested in david, too.
and anyway, his little brother who he’s barely talked to in years - not estranged, just seven years younger - showed up at his door last night with a baby in a carrier on his chest and two suitcases in hand.
“i didn’t know where else to go,” les said.
and david said, “this was the right place.”
so now he’s got other things to worry about besides whether Jack From The Art Store might return his silly crush.
les, who won’t talk to their parents or tell david where the baby - “noah. his name’s noah.” - came from besides firmly declaring him his child, disagrees. in between his new job at the elementary school in town and his baby-and-me classes with noah, he has made something of a mission to set david up with Jack From The Art Store.
too bad as of now jack just thinks David From The Bookstore’s little brother is really into art.

Mush: Wow, that’s your friend?!
Spot: Why the tone of surprise?
Mush: Nothing, just that Racetrack's so bubbly and you’re so... so...
Spot, threateningly: So what?
Mush: Uhhh– Also bubbly! And really really nice! And… 
Spot: And?
Mush: And really good at giving compliments!
Mush: Jack, remember the time Spot complimented you?
Jack: You mean the time Medda made us say one nice thing about each other and Spot said I “have hair”?
Spot, deadpan: You do have hair.

Jack: C'mon Davey, we're friends. I was building up to call you "Day-Day" one of these days. Davey: That will never happen. In fact, you just lost "Davey" privileges. From now on, you can call me "Jacobs" or "hey you". Jack: Come on Davey... Davey, glaring: Jack: Come on hey you....

Albert: *Reading about a self heating knife* Imagine stabbing someone with this
Finch: It would instantly cauterize the wound, so the person wouldn’t bleed, so it’s not very useful
Race: It is if you want information
Elmer: Why would you stab a person, when you can have toast?!

Davey: You need to stop swearing so much.
Spot: Shut the fuck up.
Davey: Yeah, that’s not how you do it.
Spot: Alright sorry. It’s just that it’s hard to not swear. The words just creep up on me when I least expect it.
Davey: Now now, don’t be like that. Just replace the swear words with ‘beep’ and you’ll be fine.
Spot: Shit the beep up.
Davey:
Spot: SHUT, DAMNIT! I MEAN SHUT!
