...an, it just figures. Last month it was moms, and now this month it's dads. Yeesh.

[Pause.]

Hey! Will you guys can it already? I mean, c'mon, it's not even like you're real or anything.

[Paaaaaaaaaause.]

Doc. Doc! I said cool it! Yeah, yeah, we know, he sabotaged the guidance system so he could take all the credit '

The City was kind enough to give you both of your fathers?

[He's secretly laughing.]

[proto_typing]

"Kind" would be a mute button right about now, pal.

[Thus are the perils of having two dads.]

[absinthe_eyed]

I wouldn't expect that amount of kindness.

At least this should only last a day.

[proto_typing]

Yeah. Surprise, surprise, happy Father's Day.

[absinthe_eyed]

Some people are bound to enjoy it. The six or seven people in the City who had decent relationships with their fathers.

[proto_typing]

Hey, I get along fine with my dads. It's them who don't get along with each other.

[absinthe_eyed]

You could lock them in separate rooms.

[proto_typing]

No dice, bro. That just makes 'em yell louder.

[absinthe_eyed]

Do you have ears you can cover?

[proto_typing]

I can shut my audio circuits off. Not that it's gonna do much good with these guys.

[absinthe_eyed]

Why not? If they're busy arguing, they shouldn't notice your attempt to ignore them.

[proto_typing]

Kinda hard to ignore 'em when you're the 'bot they're fighting about. Besides, shutting off my hearing circuits doesn't mean I'm gonna stop understanding 'em. You live with Doc as long as I have, you figure out real quick that he's only got about three rants, total.

And trust me, I've heard all of 'em a million times already.

[absinthe_eyed]

I'm out of ideas.

[proto_typing]

Join the club, pal.
