maybe you should get a job here as a locksmith, and then you would be able to open all the doors

You don't think stealing is wrong? I've gotten some lectures.

what if you're doing the wrong thing for the right reasons? you could steal food to help somebody who can't afford it, or supplies for somebody who really needs them, right?

or a cute outfit for your favorite friend???

[ steal her clothes and she'll love you 5ever ]

What if I'm my own favorite friend?

[ But he'd definitely do it for Caroline, too. He's extremely picky but not about that. ]

that's not how it works
you can't be your own best friend

[ caroline's best friends aren't here. ]

[ And he's basically the only one. ]

what if other people think you're good company too?

[ meaningfully waves hands that he cannot see. come on, buddy. ]

[ He's joking, but it's the kind of humor born from old hurts. He really wasn't popular growing up. ]
