[Music] What are you thinking about? I think you want to know what I'm thinking about. The first time you came to me, I didn't exactly come to Krista.

I was forced here, but I do like her. Packing her was simple: her password, Dylan 2791, favorite artist in the air.

And when she was born, backwards though, she's a psychologist. She's really bad at reading people, while I'm good at reading people. My secret? I look for the worst in them.

I know she went through a divorce four years ago. I know she was devastated by it and has been dating losers on eHarmony ever since.

Her most recent foray, Michael Hansen. I searched for him online, but nothing came up: no LinkedIn or Facebook, nothing.

Something about him bugs me, scratching that part of my mind again, but I'll hack him soon enough. I always do. I know you're not yelling like before, which is good, but I can tell you're still holding on to it, and we need to work on your anger issues, Eliot.

You're angry at everyone, that society—Society. I know you have a lot to be angry about, but keeping it to yourself and staying quiet like you're doing is not going to help you.

There's pain underneath. That's why our work needs to go on.

And what is it about society that disappoints you so much? Oh, I don't know. Is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children?

Or maybe it's that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit.

The world itself is just one big hoax, spamming each other with our running commentary, masquerading as insight—our social media.

faking his intimacy, or is it that we voted for this not with our rigged elections but with our things, our property, or money? I'm not saying anything.

We all know why we do this, not because the Hunger Games books make us happy, but because we want to be sedated.

Because it's painful not to pretend. Because we're cowards. [ __ ] Society, Eliot, you're not saying anything.

What's wrong? Nothing. Don't be frustrated. Why shouldn't I be? You're different than most; you at least try. You at least understand. Understand what?

What it's like to feel alone. You understand the pain. You want to protect people from it. You want to protect me from it. I respect that about you.

What do you think? I know what it's like to feel alone. [ __ ] from me? Emails, Elliott? I don't know, let's talk about last night.

Did you go to Angela's birthday party? [Music] Yeah, it was nice. Did you try to talk to anyone?

Sure, I got a girl's number. You did? She's cute. She likes the Hunger Games. You're hiding again, Eliot. When you hide, your delusions come back.

It's a slippery slope. Let's talk about the men in black you've been seeing. Are they still there? No, I told you they're gone.

The meds you gave me are working. Yo man, do you want to, uh, do lunch today? Uh, yeah, I got an offense, right?

That's what you said the last three times I asked you. Look, but you and Angela have been close for a long time, and that's even more reason why I want us to be on good terms.

between us, don't you? I'm okay with it being awkward between minutes. Yeah, I'm not okay with that. Look, man, I love Angela and I want us to get along for her sake.

That's what I'm here for. I just, I don't normally do stuff like this.

Is it crazy not to like this guy? Among some of his Facebook likes are George W. Bush's decision, going to Transformers 2, Revenge of the Fallen, and music by Josh Groban.

Must I really justify myself any further? You know his was the easiest to edit.

His password was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I witnessed his first 'I love you' with Angela over Gchat, then I witnessed the first of many infidelities with Stella B.

[Music] I've thought about telling Angela, but should I? Taste in men and I'm not quite ready to see what comes after this.

Just, yeah, you like music? I like music more than five plus I can manage. Not only easier than the others for now.

Anyway, and that's all. I mean, I just want you to know that I like you, bro, and I want you to like me too. I understand.

I'll try harder. That's cool, man. Hey, whenever you're ready, I'd love to just chill. Oh, got a bet? Sure, no touching.

Truth is, I shouldn't. Hey, darling, he's not that bad a guy. He's too dumb to be bad. In fact, when I think about the really bad people, ECorp, the largest conglomerate in the world, they're so big they're literally everywhere.

A perfect monster of modern society. They might as well stand for evil.

In fact, after a thorough, intensive self-reprogramming, that's on my mind here. Caesar reads when they pop up in my We change the world with Evil Corp. Krista would have a fit if she and I did that, but that's what they are, a conglomerate of evil.

And now I have to help them: six on-site engineers on your team, plus a few off-site. There he is, Terry Colby.

The CTO. Oh, even though he's the head of technology at one of the biggest companies in the world, he owns a BlackBerry. It also looks like he doesn't see a terminal very often.

He's not a techie; he's a suit, an arrogant suit.

The worst kind. Oh, hi Tyrell Wellick. I'm Senior Vice President of Technology. Elliott, just a tech attack. Don't be so humble; you know I started out exactly where you are.

And to be honest, my heart is still there, so I see a running theme, you know, I'm actually on KDE myself.

I know this desktop environment is supposed to be better, but you know what they say: old habits die hard. An executive running Linux, but there I know what you're thinking.

I'm an executive; I mean, why am I even running Linux? Again, all the habits.

It's gonna be fun working with you. I should join the rest of the group. Bonsoir, Eliot. [Music]
