you know, really only in America to really profit off of the funeral industrial complex in the way that Whitney did via venture capital.

What are we seeing in Harper's face?

This is the real girl math as far as I'm concerned.

I've heard this formula before.

I mean, look, I can't support the bare bones-ing, if you'll allow it, of the entire business, of the model, of taking all of the personality and care out of ultimately like saying goodbye to someone's loved ones.

Not quite my MO.

But clearly there is a market for it, right?

There is a certain percentage of the population for whom it's just like, can we get this over with?

Whitney identified it.

He is gross for doing it.

And I think that's why, like, ultimately, as far as Harper's reaction, I kind of do come down more on the ick side of things.

I do think, I mean, look, as the commander puts it, like, there is a nexus of arousal and disgust that is probably tapping into both of these feelings for her in some way or another.

Grotty, yeah.

Even for a character who I would say Harper is mostly, like, pretty amoral.

Like, she is exceedingly practical and, like, goal-oriented, whatever it takes.

Something about Whitney in this moment seemed to, like, be a little beyond some kind of pale.

And I just don't even know what it is.

Joe, when are they not across purposes?

It was spring is coming.

How could it not?
