[It's frustrating for Dirk, who keeps trying to have a casual back-and-forth, who keeps seeking banter and only gets brief answers and shut doors. Dave just doesn't seem to want to actually have any conversations whenever Dirk tries to bring up anything casual: music, science, art, the goddamned animals in Texas. Dirk tries to talk easy and Dave goes for abscond. So he struggles, trying to figure out where he is going wrong, trying to understand if maybe Dave is just trying to signal he wants Dirk to fuck off.
But Dave refuses to talk about that, either. Dirk knows he can't get an honest answer out of him. He's worse than Jake about it.]

Cool then. I'll talk to you later.
