Brady
Tea's ready. It's the, uh... The whatsit kind. From that place. You know, the expensive junk.

Lon'qu
Um...

Brady
Well...? Whaddya waitin' for? A royal invitation? It's all set and ready to go—just the way ya like it.

Lon'qu
That's...not the problem.

Brady
Let's step it up, old-timer! Tea ain't gettin' any hotter!

Lon'qu
Fine... *sip* ...Now, Brady?

Brady
Yeah?

Lon'qu
What'd you mean, "just the way I like it"? I hardly ever drink tea.

Brady
Whaddya mean? You drink it every day. You never miss teatime.

Lon'qu
I've had the odd cup here or there, but I've never had a "teatime" in my life.

Brady
...WHAT?! Ma told me to join ya in your daily tea ritual! Even gave detailed instructions! Wait... Did she make it all up?

Lon'qu
Considering I don't even know what a "tea ritual" is, I suppose she did.

Brady
That dirty... I bet she's laughing her head off right about now!

Lon'qu
Er, what exactly did she tell you?

Brady
Oh, don't you worry. I'm gonna have me a nice, long chat with dear ol' Ma! You just sit there and drink your damn tea. So long, old-timer! ...Oh, and set this on top of the pot. It keeps the tea warm.

Lon'qu
...When did my life get so weird?

Brady
Sorry about last time, old-timer.

Lon'qu
What, the tea? Hardly something to apologize for. I was glad for the chance to chat.

Brady
Well, good. But I still feel bad you wound up drinking alone. Anyway, I brought my violin by way of apologizin'.

Lon'qu
...Sorry?

Brady
Yeah, exactly. I wanna say I'm sorry, and I heard that requires a violin performance.

Lon'qu
It...does?

Brady
What, were ya born in a barn? Course it does! I gotta tickle the catgut for three songs, then do a backflip. That's when you stand up and start clappin' and cheerin' and throwin' roses. ...Er, at least, that's what Ma said.

Lon'qu
Brady, listen to me. No one has ever apologized to me that way before. ...EVER. Your mother's messing with you again.

Brady
What, AGAIN?! Oh, that tears it! I'm gonna—

Lon'qu
Brady, wait.

Brady
What?!

Lon'qu
As long as you're here, let's chat a bit. Forget about Maribelle for a while. I'm grateful to her, though. If not for her japes, you probably wouldn't be here.

Brady
Forget Ma? But she's been playing me like a dancin'-monkey organ guy! Aw, heck. Fine. I guess I can put up with her horseplay a bit longer... It'd be nice to just sit back and chew the fat a bit.

Lon'qu
Good. Pull up a seat.

Brady
And then Ma pulls out that li'l umbrella of hers, and she says—

Lon'qu
Heh heh...

Brady
...What are ya laughing for? I ain't even at the punchline yet.

Lon'qu
I'm just glad we're able to talk like this, Brady. I must admit, I was unsure of you when first we met.

Brady
Yeah, well. Sorry I'm all scary. I guess if you don't like it, do a better job raising the real deal.

Lon'qu
What, you mean the Brady from this era?

Brady
Yeah. I ain't your real son, anyway. I mean, not exactly.

Lon'qu
......

Brady
Aw, what? What's with that face? I don't need no pity. Unlike some of the other kids, I ain't jealous of the Brady from this timeline. We're two different cats, yeah? No hard feelings. Once the real one's born, you can forget about me. I'll bow out all graceful-like.

Lon'qu
How can you say that after we've gotten so close? You think I'd just cast you aside once my son is born? I would never do that. You're my friend, Brady. ...And my son.

Brady
Pop, I... *sniff* Aw, damn. I'd decided not to cry, and then ya go and say crap like that... *sniffle* I was lyin' about what I said before, Pop! It does matter to me! Please don't forget me! Just...remember that we were good pals once, yeah? Real chums.

Lon'qu
I could never forget you, Son. I'll remember you till the day I die and love you as my future self would.

Brady
Okay, no more talk of dyin'. If you go boots up before me, I'll douse your grave in more tea than ya can stand. I'll play my violin and do a backflip if I have to. Don't try me, old-timer!

Lon'qu
I suppose I'd better live, then...
