You got to help Alex figure out his moral position through a series of questions to figure out if he's a piece of shit. I think I'm the most empathetic out of the form. There's no way. Out of the four of us, I'm the most empathetic. This guy's a fucking crazy person. He's the most sensitive. I have a switch. For people he knows he's never met before. I have a switch.

It's a mean thing not to accept the gift. They went to out their way to have the most empathy? I just hear the way you guys talk sometimes and you guys are. What are you performing for? It's not really. I honestly feel that way. You think that we lack empathy for whom, though? No, I don't think you lack empathy. I think I have the most empathy. You're the most sensitive. Yes. Okay, let me, okay, ready? Let's just do a test. No, we're not starting to pot. We're just going to do a test. Can you just speak in an Indian accent?
