Hey there... How's it poppin'?
Huh? Me? Oh, I'm currently on the lam from the hardships of celebrity.
...It's like everywhere I go in NLA, there's folks wanting handshakes or autographs... Like, what am I, a Hollywood star?
Ugh, remind me to dropkick whoever decided to put me up on this damn pedestal.
You know what I'm talkin' about, right?

Tell him it's the hero's role to raise morale.

Oh, gimme a break... Vandham said the same thing.
I was drifting for months through the vastness of space! Where's my reward for that? Can I not get a little sympathy? On that note, hang out with me, will you? There's only so much alone time a guy can endure.

Say he clearly needs time to adjust.

Al
There, I knew you'd get it. I'm lucky to have a clever pal like you.
On that note, buddy, let's hang out. I've got some time to kill.
So, what's there to do around here? I'm good with anything, so long as it passes the time.

Al
Ooh, now there's an answer after my own heart! You sure know how to party!
I'll warn you though, me and Lady Luck are old friends, okay? Don't come crying.
I've been known to send Doug home in his tighty-whities, and I'm not saying once or twice.
Now, of course, if Princess finds out, she'll rake me over the coals or worse...
But that just adds to the thrill, no?
Win or lose, sink or swim, double or bust... I'm sure as hell having fun tonight!

Invite to a Diner

Hmm... A diner, huh? Now that you mention it, I really could go for a steaming big cup of greasy-spoon joe.
It'd also be a good chance for you to tell me about all the fun stuff you've been getting up to on Mira.
According to the rumor mill, your exploits would put the old-school Hollywood blockbusters to shame!
If even half of what they say is true, they should really make YOU the hero and let me retire in damn peace already.
...Hey, cool it—I'm just yankin' your chain. Quit with the scowling.
All right, all right, how about this? I'll pay for the coffee this time. Hope they make it strong and bitter, like me!

Extol Joys of Labor
Say that you could do some BLADE work.

Someone's a little worker bee! So Princess drilled that stuff into you too. She's a hard gal to work for, that one...
You've gotta get your rest when you can. Can't perform your duties when your head's not in the game.
If you're finding it hard to stand up to the Princess, want me to talk to her for you?
...No? I gotcha. Sorry, didn't mean to stick my nose in your business.
But hey, if there's ever anything bothering you, you tell me, all right? Least I can do is be a sounding board.
...Hang on, what were we talking about, again?
