Of course I know, [Lars retorts, observing his cuticles. He then looks at Sadie.] And he definitely just wants the donuts. He'd think there was some higher conspirator or something if he really believed something that wacky—we'd have to be some kind of set of clueless minions in the evil doing.

Man. [Lars makes a face like he just tasted something disgusting.]

Anyway, yeah: Ronaldo's really high maintenance company.

[SO DON'T DATE HIM. As if Lars himself isn't really exhausting to be close to...

Lars is definitely trying to discreetly tip the scales, since... he's an asshole. Lars is more than positive Ronaldo is interested in Sadie—maybe because Lars actually knows Ronaldo, even if they've both changed a little since their platonic breakup, but it's mostly because Lars is so paranoid and so afraid of losing Sadie completely. Sure, as a romantic prospect, but he's also still afraid of her just phasing out of his life completely once she realizes completely how worthless Lars is.

Which is an anxiety he's been carrying for a while. It disappeared for a night, Lars messed things up by kissing Sadie, and now he was afraid again. It was a Wild Ride to be Lars.]
