Coulson hasn't seen the rats here.

[biggerstick]

That's because they don't come in here. Slick scares them off.

[paragon]

Are you hungry?

[biggerstick]

Yes. Was I too subtle?

[paragon]

Never, Tony. Let's go to the pool house.

[biggerstick]

[immediately heading to the door]

Alright.

[paragon]

[ waving goodbye to Slick and following. ]

[biggerstick]

Have you had skittles?

[paragon]

Is that an expression?

[biggerstick]

No, it's candy.

[paragon]

Then no.

[biggerstick]

I'll get you skittles and pop rocks.

...

Pop rocks will be fun.

[paragon]

[ just raises an eyebrow at that. ]

Lot of candy from my time is still around. I was surprised.

[biggerstick]

... you know, I don't really know much about candy History. I remember pop rocks coming out because I was a kid back then.

[paragon]

Makes sense. There's a whole bunch of new stuff, for sure. But we had a lot of the same candy bars, that kind of thing. Guess tastebuds don't really change over the decades when it comes to chocolate.

[biggerstick]

I think we've gotten slightly more demanding.

[paragon]

[ huffs. ]

You want whatever you can get your hands on when you're a kid. Only thing that's changed is the supply.

[biggerstick]

... I wouldn't know. Rich kid, I got whatever I wanted.

[paragon]

That's kinda what I mean.

[biggerstick]

Oh. You mean now we have a larger selection?

[paragon]

[ shakes his head ]

It's not that much more. Kids want candy, that's all, doesn't matter where you're from.

That what you're worried about, everyone knowing you were a spoiled brat? 'Cause I think that's on public record.

[biggerstick]

My entire life is on public record. That doesn't mean I want a replay.

[paragon]

Fair enough.

[biggerstick]

And I was a difficult kid.

[paragon]

You said.
