Oh... God. Really? You've got to be kid-- hah. [ Andy forces a laugh, but his voice is slightly tense. ] Wow, this place has the best timing, you know that? Wow. I mean it's great. Sincerely, it's great to be back, I was just caught completely unprepared. It's been like, months back home, I'll never really get used to the way time works around here

Maybe you've suffered brain damage. Concerning the incessant talking, I mean.

Actually, that would illuminate a few other concerns, as well.

[acahellyeah]

Yeah, uh, I'm pretty sure I'd remember if I somehow got brain damage.

[enigmaestro]

[Silence.]

[acahellyeah]

[ SILENCE.

Indignantly: ]

My point is I'm not.

[undoneroyal]

[Velvet can't help but grin at this guy.]

Welcome back. Was your time at home enjoyable?

[acahellyeah]

Oh -- yeah, totally, it's been sort of a roller coaster. Good but terrifying? And, thank you. I don't think we've met, have we?

[undoneroyal]

No. My name is Velvet. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[acahellyeah]

Andy Bernard. And likewise. I appreciate the welcome, it's super thoughtful of you.

How're... how... I see that you're still here.

[ he doesn't understand!!! ]

You're happy to be back?

voice

[acahellyeah]

[ A little uncertainly: ] Well, I do get to see my friends again. That's a benefit. There's always pros and cons.

voice

[invokings]

And the friends and/or family back home?

voice

[acahellyeah]

Some of them are here. [ Pauses. ] That's just the way it goes sometimes.

[He collects himself before turning on the communicator and speaking, the smile audible in his voice.]

Andy.

voice;

[acahellyeah]

[ The enthusiasm is a touch more sincere when Andy responds. ]

Hey. I'll leave a note next time, 'kay?

voice;

[afeatherpillow]

That fucking Porter. She just loves tearing you around, doesn't she?

How are you?

voice;

[acahellyeah]

It's like a revolving door around here. [ Heh. ] Kind of disoriented. Like when you get whiplash but it's your fault and you can't take anyone's insurance info down in good conscience.
