What?

[onlyoneof]

I'm just wondering what it'd be like to have an alternate.

[skepticalities]

It's weird. It's someone who should, in theory, get you since you're built the same way, but you're also very, very different due to your experiences. I can't even fathom some of the stuff he's been through.

[onlyoneof]

I know. I... well, I... my father is the Secretary of Defense over there.

[skepticalities]

. . . oh wow.

[onlyoneof]

He's... tougher, I guess. Less afraid. He stands up straighter.

[skepticalities]

I've heard stories about the Secretary, but . . . well, I've never encountered him personally.

[onlyoneof]

I think you'd just find him disorienting. Especially after knowing Walter.

[skepticalities]

Probably.

[onlyoneof]

Walter's warmer... or was. I don't really know him now.

[skepticalities]

Olivia is the better person to ask about Walter. I . . . don't really know him, myself. He likes to call me by other dead presidents' names, though. I think the last one was . . . Roosevelt.

[onlyoneof]

I think that means he likes you.

[skepticalities]

Does it?

[onlyoneof]

Yeah. Doesn't he still get Astrid's name wrong?

[skepticalities]

Sometimes . . .

[onlyoneof]

It's totally a good sign.

[skepticalities]

Okay . . . good.

[onlyoneof]

Now you gotta cook for me.

[skepticalities]

Now?

[onlyoneof]

It's late, we haven't eaten and it's your turn.

[skepticalities]

I— okay.

[onlyoneof]

That was easy.

[skepticalities]

Why argue?

[onlyoneof]

Some people do it for fun.
