You don't really think about all the rules when it's what you grew up being used to. Like how you don't think having a nativity scene the size of a small city in your front yard is weird at Christmas.

...She's never allowed to meet my grandfather. Ever.

[digiorno]

No, I still think the giant nativity scene is weird. I think most rules are very weird. Except for the rules about respecting people, those are important, but you don't have to buy people three times as much respect as they make for you or . . . whatever.

You just try to tell her she can't do anything, Jotaro.

[starmark]

Yeah that analogy kind of went weird places didn't it.

WE DON'T NEED MORE PEOPLE WHO CRASH PLANES AROUND HERE

[digiorno]

A little bit. I stand by it anyway.

But there aren't even any planes.

[starmark]

...

You know it makes it really hard to complain when you answer all of my complaints with reasonable logic.

[digiorno]

I'm sorry, am I ruining your fun?

[starmark]

Asshole.

I'm pretty sure there's a guy here with a crush on my grandpa.

[digiorno]

. . . I don't have a reasonable solution to that.

[starmark]

I know. It's okay, you don't have to have one. I'm just kind of thinking about it, and typing it out makes it more real somehow.

[digiorno]

Your family is insane. And this is ME saying that.

[starmark]

Mio fratello la mafia don è il più normale di tutti noi.

[digiorno]

Sono un modello di comportamento in questi tempi difficili.

[starmark]

Sarei perso senza di te.

[digiorno]

È così vero.

Are you worried? I think I'm going to start enforcing a policy wherein you can only worry about maximum three things at once.

[starmark]

It's kind of complicated.

The baseline answer is no, I'm not worried. The longer answer is that...the reason I'm not worried is because I know enough about the situation to know that there is no right answer? And I'm not going to take sides on who I think should get shafted and who shouldn't, so I mostly try not to think about it too much, which is why there's no worrying going on.

[digiorno]

I think that's a good answer. A little sad, but the right choice for you.

[starmark]

I'm getting better about that lately, huh?

[digiorno]

Yes. You're getting better about lots of things.

[starmark]

And how've you been doing lately? Still okay?

[digiorno]

I feel better with people to take care of.

[starmark]

In other words, you're feeling great lately.

[digiorno]

Yes, you should all be human disasters more often for my benefit.

[starmark]

Remind me to quote you on that someday.

You know, like an asshole.

[digiorno]

I certainly hope you're not implying that I am ever an asshole to you, because that's slander. I'm very nice.

[starmark]

Just the opposite. I'm implying that I'd have to be an asshole to go out of my way to be a disaster around you just because you said something like that.

And sometimes I'm an asshole, so.
