=== Fogado & Pandreo === --- C --- [Pandreo] Well, that's over and done with! Was that easy or was that easy? [Pandreo] Those losers thought they were tough, but we showed them, eh? [Pandreo] AROOO! [Fogado] Uh, yeah. Aroo... [Pandreo] Oh, come on! [Fogado] What? [Pandreo] You're bumming me out here. [Fogado] Oh, sorry. [Pandreo] "Oh, sorry." Give me a break! [Pandreo] Lighten up. Seeing you down in the dumps like this freaks me out. [Pandreo] Let's dance it out, come on! Arf! Arf, arf, arf! [Fogado] Ruff... Rawr... Rawr... [Pandreo] Ugh, no! [Pandreo] Now I know something's up. What happened? Bunet leave a hair in your chowder? [Fogado] Sorry. I was just thinking. [Pandreo] About? [Fogado] Uh... [Fogado] The party. [Pandreo] What?! That's why you're so distracted? [Fogado] Yeah. I just can't wait to tear up that dance floor. [Pandreo] Aw, yeah! There's the prince of parties I know and love! [Pandreo] Come on. Let's get you to that bash before you pass out. [Fogado] Woo. Can't wait to...party down. [Pandreo] Same! AROOO! --- B --- [Pandreo] Good going back there! Those guys were pretty tough. [Fogado] Yep, they were. [Pandreo] Whaddaya say we celebrate the win by partying till we can't see straight? [Fogado] Ugh... [Pandreo] Uh... Something wrong? [Fogado] Sorry, Pandreo, but I'm gonna take a rain check. [Pandreo] What?! [Pandreo] No, no. My ears must be playing tricks on me. Fogado turning down a party? [Pandreo] What's going on? You eat something that's not agreeing with you? [Fogado] ... [Fogado] Ha, just kidding! Heh heh... You should have seen the look on your face. [Pandreo] Aw, man! You really had me going there. [Fogado] Haha, sorry. Thought it would be fun to mess with you a little bit. [Pandreo] Geez! Breaking a guy's heart─you call that fun? [Fogado] Pandreo, before I forget... Will you hear my confession soon? [Pandreo] Better not be another cruel prank. Fool me once, et cetera. [Pandreo] As long as you promise not to yank my chain again...of course I'll hear your confession. [Fogado] Thanks, Pandreo. I appreciate it. --- A --- [Fogado] Pandreo, I am ready to make a confession. [Pandreo] OK, I'm ready. What do you wish to confess? [Fogado] You see, I...I lied to my friend. To you. [Pandreo] Huh? [Fogado] It's...the war, Pandreo. I'm not sure we can win. Our enemies are getting stronger. [Fogado] I'm so worried for the future I can barely sleep. [Fogado] The other day, when I told you I was distracted because of the party? That was a lie. [Fogado] I just...couldn't stop thinking a-about...all the people who could die on my watch. [Pandreo] Aw, buddy... [Fogado] I'm not the happy-go-lucky guy you think I am. [Fogado] I know it's my job to keep a smile on. I just... I'm so damn scared, Pandreo. [Pandreo] I appreciate you telling me. [Fogado] Only after pulling the wool over your eyes. [Pandreo] Nah, don't flatter yourself. I saw right through it. [Fogado] You did? [Pandreo] Of course. How gullible do you think I am? I can tell when my friend's feeling blue. [Pandreo] I'm not a prince, so I won't pretend I can fix it, or that I really know what you're feeling. [Pandreo] But what I can do is promise that I'll always support you. As your retainer and your friend. [Pandreo] So, don't worry. Uh, let me rephrase that. Worry to your heart's content. I'll still be here. [Fogado] That's all I need. [Pandreo] Good. Because at the end of the day, that's all I can offer. [Fogado] Ah, that's strange... My vision's gone blurry. [Pandreo] Hey, hey, hey. Crying's not allowed, you hear? Because if you do, I'm gonna. [Fogado] No, I'm not crying. Not quite, at least. [Pandreo] Ah, whew. [Pandreo] You know, this reminds me. It was during a confession you told me you were the prince. [Fogado] That's right. I used to go to your parents' church all the time. You and I were fast friends. [Pandreo] And then you dropped that on me. Easily one of my top five most interesting confessions. [Pandreo] I almost forgot to breathe─I was so shocked. [Fogado] Well, you were looking for Panette. I had to tell you she'd become my sister's retainer. [Fogado] And if you didn't know I was the prince, you wouldn't have bought it. [Pandreo] And the next thing you said was even more shocking. You turned to me and asked... [Fogado] How's a job as my retainer sound? [Pandreo] That's right. Ah, that brings me back. The seven most beautiful words I've ever heard. [Pandreo] And as your retainer, I'm not just here for the highs, all right? I'm here for the lows too. [Pandreo] Whether you need a buddy on the dance floor or a shoulder to cry on, I can be that. [Fogado] Thank you, Pandreo. [Fogado] I gotta say, I'm gladder than ever that I was so honest in my confession back then. --- S ---
