Dang. Nice digs. (chuckling) Well, I don't understand. Dad said it was like a disaster, like my room when I was 15.
He was right, by the way. Um, no, Amita came by today and did all this. It's nice of her.

Good. 'Cause I need Charlie.
All right. Congratulations. Uh, this is nicer than my apartment. See you later.
