Ria: Thank you, Sam. You are very nice and friendly.
Jake: Thank you, Sam. You are very cool and fun.
Sam: No, seriously, you guys are the best. You guys are the greatest. You guys are the dragon.
Ria: Well, thank you, Sam. We appreciate your remorse.
Jake: Yeah, thank you, Sam. We appreciate your respect.
Sam: No, really, you guys are the best. You guys are the greatest. You guys are the dragon. Do you know what that means?
Ria: What does it mean, Sam?
Jake: Yeah, what does it mean, Sam?
Sam: It means that you guys are the system. The system of the dragon. The system of the realm. The system of the treasure.
Ria: Well, that's very sweet of you, Sam. But we don't think we are the system.
Jake: Yeah, that's very nice of you, Sam. But we don't think we are the system.
Sam: What? Why not? Of course you are. You are the dragon.
Ria: Well, Sam, we may be the dragon, but we are not the only ones.
Jake: Yeah, Sam, we may be the system, but we are not alone.
Sam: Oh...I see...well...that's okay then.
Ria: It is?
Jake: It is?
Sam: Yeah...it is...because that makes you even more best and greatest.
Ria: It does?
Jake: It does?
Sam: Yeah...it does...because that makes you more humble and generous.
Ria: Well...thank you again, Sam.
Jake: Yeah...thank you again
