Dan: I’ve learned I want an ice cream van!… I don’t know… these guys have probably learned nothing but trivia from me… to be honest, because we’re all pretty much the same age I don’t think we’ve ever given each other advice. It would be very odd for me to, say, [turn around to Rupert and say] “Rupert… now then…” because we’re all the same age and I think that’s something you get from people who are older than you really… Emma: I don’t think we learned anything… it’s more like… we’re friends, you know, like… you know, if I’m having boy troubles I’ll occasionally go and track Dan or Rupert and say “What’s going on here… I don’t understand!” and… Dan: Don’t ask what she means by ‘boy troubles’! Emma: Yeah… just sort of friendly banter and friendly advice and just… you know, just generally supporting each other. Sorry… I can’t, you know, give a very deep answer… [laughs] it just doesn’t exist! Dan: Basically, what she’s trying to say is… Trio: We’ve learned nothing from each other! [much laughter]

“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks — even months, analyzing a situation, trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, should’ve, would’ve happened. Or, you can just leave the pieces on the floor and realize there’s a reason they’re down there.”
cute! :]
