You have the weirdest goddamn taste in names, [is what Zetta replies with, deciding it's not worth trying to parse out whether or not the heartbeat thing is true. It's impossible to tell if it's a Deaconism, or a wasteland rumor, or actual fact.]
That's what I said, but Dez and Carrington shot it down. At least Tom liked it. Although come to think of it, that probably helped convince them that it was a bad idea.
Man, next time I'll have to bribe Tom to say that he thinks my idea is weird and boring, then Dez and Carrington will like it for sure. Like, "Oh look, Tom thinks it's a snooze, it must be good!"
I'll just hint that I'll tell him secrets about the future. And when he holds up his ends of the deal, I'll make up some cryptic bullshit that'll keep him busy for weeks.
Nah, the fun thing about telling the truth sometimes is people thinking I'm lying when I'm not, and me knowing that for a second they held something real and didn't realize it. But Tom believes every crazy thing I say so telling him a true crazy thing just wouldn't have much sparkle.

"Grandma's House" is a fantastic safehouse name. I don't know what their problem is. [And it'd be extremely useful for the undercover side of things.]

[Of course, Deacon might be lying about that.]

I think my favorite part is how I can't tell if this is actually a useful look into how you think about things or not, [Riley jokes.]

[Riley laughs.] That inspires a lot of confidence.
It's the best you're going to get.
