Brad is the closestMythic Questhas to a villain.
When he (temporarily) succeeded, he even said, I guess sometimes evil wins.
But Brads mellow is swiftly harshed when David comes in with a birthday cake.
I bet hes here to kill my pig, Brad speculates, storming through the office with Jo.
I wont let him.
This is my pig.
If anyones going to kill it, its going to be me.
But if Zack is as evil as Brad says he is, hes good at hiding it.
Maybe the only choice left is to appeal to their brotherly bond.
You have all these folks convinced that youre some badass cutthroat.
A pussy, just like Papa always said.
Brad asks Zack not to take his game away from him, even resorting to pleading.
c’mon, bhaiya, he begs.
hey dont kill my game.
Its surprisingly moving and downright jarring to see him so vulnerable.

And Rachel doesnt know what she wants at all.
Zack is a startling contrast to those other characters, who were the complete opposite of threatening.
But Cheena totally pulls it off.
Twice as hard as what?
Rachel asks, receiving a bemused never mind in reply.
Its a smart, subtle way to emphasize Rachels own privilege, relative to her girlfriend.
Where the fucks my sweet-and-sour sauce?
Poppy barks from the car.
The sheer fury with which Dana shrieks Theyre in the cupholder!
cannot be captured in words.
The best is that Ians legs are too strong.
Poppy compares her mentorship methods to Mr. Miyagi fromKarate Kid.
Its rare that Poppy is the onemakinga reference, instead of failing to grasp someone elses.
Zack reminds David to send him the Brene Brown links, a callback to Everlight.
Shell change your life!
