That has a nice ring to it. But do you know why you told your objectively-better-in-every-way-partner-that idea? Because you knew that it might give you a chance to finally be seen as more than just her second-rate little buddy. Because even then you knew that the Kelly Omega rub was something that would help elevate you. To make you stand out. To give you purpose and meaning around here. Because whether it is as a partner or an opponent, Kelly Omega is just one more world to conquer, isn't that what you said? A mountain to climb?"
"You know, I heard all of your fancy nicknames. 'America's Sweetheart'? Heh, maybe 'America's Forehead'. 'The Conqueror of Britannia'? I'll get myself in too much trouble with a friend if I comment on that, and Kelly O has never been the type of gal to annoy someone on purpose. But your nicknames were cute. They were kinda cool, maybe. A little gauche, perhaps, but you know how to market yourself. I saw it with your suit last time, and I can see it with... well, this ensemble here. You've got a distinct look. Fuck it, I'll say it, and get the marks all riled up; you're kind of cute, for a bottom-of-the-barrel goblin.

I think you understand things around here more than others. You understand that by calling out the top star of this company, you've basically booked yourself a PWE match, a big fat paycheque and a long post-show holiday all in one. That's clever. That's just good business acumen. Dare I even say this after everything else, but maybe in that way we are a little bit alike."
"But..."
