TREY: Lincoln, you've got to help me escape the Friend Zone!
LINCOLN: The only way to do that is to change the mind of the person who sent you here.
TREY: How do I do that?
LINCOLN: Usually money or power.
TREY: I have neither.
LINCOLN: Then you should be used to this by now.
TREY: Is there any other way?
LINCOLN: Well, it's risky, but you could try winning her over with a grand gesture.
TREY: Right, like a boombox over my head playing "In Your Eyes"!
LINCOLN: I'm not really a huge Peter Gabriel fan.
TREY: I wrote an entire kabuki show for you!
LINCOLN: Abort!
