[so that's how it is. damn. is that a bit of empathy he's feeling?? zoro sighs.]

You're having a hard time with work too, huh? Just come out and say it. I won't blame you.

What? No. No! No trouble here! All is well in the house of Wagner! I- I'm just working on my education right now, that's all! A-and I totally have modeling gig lined up, and Heckbusters is just on hiatus man!

Stuttering ruins lies, you know.

L-lies?! Who said I was lying about anything? Or... or s-stuttering, for that matter?!

[there's just

a silence

as zoro looks up at the sky and wonders why he's still here]

Fess up or I'm hanging up.

What?! After all we've been through, you'll hang up over something like this?! B-b-but I've got nothing so say!

That's just more of a reason to hang up.

And yet you're still here! You're all talk. Literally!

[OK FINE THEN HE HANGS UP]
