He expects the conversation to go on, to become something sprawling and complicated and laden with nineties frat boy lingo that leaves him baffled as to just why he likes (not likes, obviously, in the context Andy used it - just … likes) this person, but Andy stays quiet.

This is so bittersweet and in-character all around: how Andy makes the gradual switch from outgoing to somber and how Oscar has to assure himself mentally that he is not invested.

Semi-related: those spoilers are GLORIOUS.

!!!!!!!!

(Um, yay! Also, RYAN/KELLY MAKEOUT-SLASH-POSSIBLY WRESTLING SESSIONS.)

(Oscar, for the record, tries not to buy into the Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration mythos. It’s ridiculous. Surely it’s possible to refer to the man by just his first name.)

Lies, all lies! Oh, now I'm all excited for The Office to come back on. And trying to prepare myself for having been horribly mislead by the spoilers of joy.

Hahahaha, I like the notion that maybe Ryan and Kelly are together and maybe they aren't and Oscar refuses to tell the difference anymore. Gosh, I still miss those kids. I will never be able to quit them!

Thank you for reading! :D

AAAAAAH, THIS WAS SO, SO AWESOME. So bittersweet. Their loneliness is so damn palpable, and I love that they're on the verge of finding solace in each other only they don't yet realize it. And the entire make-out conversation was so freaking epic. So very Andy, particularly the bit where he called out for a Starburst and then got distracted by Kelly and Lady Gaga, and poor Oscar is just sitting there kind of relieved and yet kind of disappointed. And Andy's forlornness in the the car! I love how that shows that in the quiet, when Andy's got no one to be but himself, he slips into self reflection, and it hurts him to really face up to the fact that his life isn't what he wants it to be. And Oscar's right there with him, there, but not really there. They are both stuck in their own self-pitying worlds, but then they come back together in the end through the woes of Barbra Streisand. Just... PURE BRILLIANCE. I LOVED IT!
