Ollie vB:NEW ORLEANS.

Romeo Costa:Just a quick stop before Waco. Dallas insisted it would be a waste of gas not to.

Zach Sun:Did they not tell you?

Ollie vB:NO.

Zach Sun:Oh, that’s awkward. I apologize for the inconvenience. Can the State of Texas help you with anything else or may the Court adjourn for recess?

Romeo Costa:The OpenAI needs some major tweaks, @ZachSun.

Ollie vB:@RomeoCosta, tell your wife to answer my calls before I burn down your fucking fridge.

Romeo Costa:It’s all fun and games until you threaten Shortbread’s snacks.

Ollie vB:She has my fiancée with her.

Romeo Costa:Your FAKE fiancée.

Zach Sun:The feelings must be real.

Romeo Costa:Is this the AI chat or you speaking?

Zach Sun:Me, but a blindfolded can opener could detect the feelings. Ollie wears his heart on his sleeve.

Romeo Costa:Up until a second ago, we didn’t even know Ollie had a heart.

Ollie vB:I’m flying out there to grab Briar because you two fucks can’t keep your wives in check.

Romeo Costa:You seem to be running into the same problem with the poor woman who believes she is engaged to you.

Ollie vB:She’s in a fragile condition.

Romeo Costa:She wrestled Hettie in our living room today. And won. By a landslide.

Ollie vB:All the same, if something happens to her, everyone in this Court is dead.

Zach Sun:Details make perfect. This is not to say that the Court does not make any mistakes. At least four percent of those sentenced to the death penalty are innocent.

Romeo Costa:Burn that ChatGPT and start from scratch, dude.

Ollie vB:Seriously. It is a worse conversation partner than that dude fromDr. Phil.

Zach Sun:Doctor Phil.

Ollie vB:That’s what I said.

Zach Sun:No, that’s his name. The dude fromDr. Philis named Doctor Phil.

Romeo Costa:Don’t bother. He probably thinks the entire talk show is a deleted scene fromGeneral Hospital.

Ollie vB:As if. I stopped watching after Helena placed a curse on Luke and Laura at the altar. She couldn’t wait until after the wedding?

Zach Sun:Neither can you, apparently.
