I’m serious, Dahlia. Next time someone gives you shit, I’m handling it

have you ever considered the fact that maybe just talking to me for a few hours is better than threatening to kill people when they upset me

A. That was more than a few hours. You have no idea how much paperwork I got done while we talked. We should do that every night. I might actually get shit done around here.

you can’t fix everything for me. Sometimes I’ve got to be a big girl and take things into my own hands, Felix. Independence is important

(now is not the time for a joke about what that thing should be fyi)

Damn right you are
