Don't do anything. Or can I just say something at the end of it, though?

I'm not going to. I'm not going to ruin it for you. I have to say what I need to say.

I burned through it.

[Andrew Santino]

I'm saving it. You know, so funny. You know when you get it. You know when you get something from your mom when you're a kid and it's sweet and delicious and you're like, I want to. I want to savor this. And I take little, tiny, little, tiny bites because I know I want to eat the whole thing.

[Bobby Lee]

Mine was squid. Dried squid. Yeah. Yeah. I want to take the tentacle, the dry tentacle, and just suck it through my mouth.

[Andrew Santino]

Well, don't you have to do that before they suck? They suction to your mouth. If you don't do it right, don't. They suction to your mouth when you're eating them?

[Bobby Lee]

We have our own styles of doing. You do exactly.

[Andrew Santino]

I thought of you the other day at sushi. The chef looked exactly like you. I'm not even kidding. He looked exactly like you. And I kept looking at him thinking, I miss Bob. Yeah, I do. I missed you so much while I was gone so long.

[Bobby Lee]

Went to the Abbey. I was thinking about you. I mean, how does that feel?

[Andrew Santino]

I don't get it. What is that?

[Andrew Santino]

I haven't worked there for years.

[Bobby Lee]

I know, but when you did. Oh, wow.

[Andrew Santino]

That was me upside down.

[Bobby Lee]

So what? I'm going to say something is that in the last episode of the very last episode of Love on the Spectrum.

[Andrew Santino]

If this ruins it, I will fucking fight you.

[Bobby Lee]

That's your problem. I'm setting boundaries with you right now.

[Andrew Santino]

This is me setting a boundary. I don't want to hear it if it's going to ruin this.

[Bobby Lee]

Well, then close your eyes and your ears.
