On-screen text

What are you trying to say to me right now? He ordered the octopus. And I find that insulting. And I don't want them to spend time with us. And that's why I don't double date. Because he ordered the octopus. Yes. If an alien, they are our betters And just because we can eat them and devour them doesn't mean we are their we are above them in the food chain. They are aliens. They can do magic. And just cause we can devour them doesn't mean we should. If anything, we should be respecting them and befriending them because they're psychic. And he ordered it. And I know he did it to get a vibe too, or whatever that's called. What's it called? A rise. Oh, get a rise out of you. To get a rise out of me. To draw you out as the Brits say. Ha ha. Yeah. Is that what they say on Love Island? I think so. Ha ha! Ha! Ha! We're not hanging. Did you care that I had a bite of it?
