‐ Could you grow up, Andrew?

Just be over here. Working on my vagina.

Okay, fine.
Uh, it's just that Victor likes to take things slow.

Okay, so the first thing you need to do is just
send him a sexy message or two.
I'm just saying, sometimes you have to
show a guy that you're open to their advances.
[with French accent] Par example...
‐ You posted that about yourself?
