Mark I ⊚ [Video for Bruce]

[Tony isn't looking at the screen but he's still for it facing him.]

Do you eat toast?

Not entirely sure it's your style, kid.

[If only something like a teen boy in short shorts could be something that scarred him.]

Uh, sure? I guess?

[As far as Tony's aware he only has three friends and two of them are on his payroll. Even then he only knows they're friends because they've actually said "Tony you know I'm your friend, and as your friend..." then proceed to lecture him, Bruce hasn't really done that.]

There are times I did not know I had friends...because I did not think about it.

[Just some advice, Tony.]

Not much to think about. It's just how things are with me.

[Tony's never been real good with advice unless imminent death is involved sadly. But then growing up like him, no one's surprised.]

I thought the same...before I came here.

You know, for a kid. You're starting to sound very philosophical.

It's kind of making me feel old.

I say what Michelangelo has told me...

Red head, lots of freckles, kind of goofy?

...you know him?

Met him in the canteen few hours after I got here.

Interesting kid, bit of a spazz, but interesting.

He is wise beyond his years.

He is...important.

Important, huh? Sounds like a good friend, then.

That's always, uh. Good.

He is the most important one in my life.

[Woah Leatherhead calm down.]

Huh.

That's, a. Well, personal statement right there to give to some guy you just met over a toaster.

...I am sorry.

I thought you knew him.

[He just likes talking about Mikey ok.]

I just met him in a line and we spoke for a bit. He wasn't really big on giving me his life story, and I wasn't really big on hearing it either.

Doesn't mean we wont talk in the future, the kid wasn't exactly annoying after all.

[You now have one embarrassed alligator covering his face.]

I am sorry...I did not mean to bother you.

You have this weird polite excitement about you, you know that?

...is that bad?

Uh, I'm going to say no. I guess it's actually a good thing. To normal people.

[He gestures around him, suggesting that everyone else here is very normal.]

Normal people...I like that.

[It's obvious he hasn't been around people much.]

You like normal people, or that normal people like polite excitement? Because I'm kind of getting mixed signals about this.

Being around normal people...

[Sorry, Tony.]

[Too many people have said the too him for it to be even close to upsetting.]

While normal people are kind of boring. I sort of get the appeal.

I never experienced it before I came here...

I would almost say that was a good thing. But somehow think it would be a different experience for you.
