POLKA DOT: Yeah, I’m good for talking any time we’re third wheeling it up.
POLKA DOT: Might as well, right?
POLKA DOT: …I’ll try to have more to talk about besides all that weirdness, though.
ROULETTE: Alright.
ROULETTE: And, that is fine. I have no idea what to talk about, either.
ROULETTE: I am not very good at this sort of thing.

The bot's face and lens wrinkles slightly, metal bending in a way it shouldn't to add an extra layer of expressiveness.
ROULETTE: ...'cute.'
ROULETTE: I do not understand why, and I do not want a repeat of that incident.
ROULETTE: So, as much as I may have enjoyed those clothes, a switch is necessary.
ROULETTE: Something more average may do the trick, so I purchased several outfits with that in mind.
ROULETTE: Anything to avoid standing out.
ROULETTE: I told you before: I cannot afford to rock the boat here.
ROULETTE: ...All I can do is hope it works this time.
You can see Laurie's pop up in the distance. If you want to say something, you should do it now.
