"Newbie."

"Yeah Perry."

"What is Rowdy doing in here?"

"He just followed me in! I attempted to make him stay outside the room, but he wouldn't listen. And then when I finally tricked him and got him to leave, he kept whining outside and it made me sad. I had to let him in…"

"Newbie, I'm only gonna say this once more, try to listen, kay? He's a dead dog. Meaning not real. Meaning he can't actually interact with you."

"Shhh! Perry, don't say that. He has feelings."

"Do I really have to repeat myself again Newbie?"

"He does."

"…do you want a real pet?"

"Like Rowdy brought back to life?"

"How would you even do that?…Newbie!"

"…Would Rowdy make a good zombie dog?"

"Newbie. Do you want a real, non-zombie pet?"

"Why are you offering?"

"Well, for one, I figure it can't be good for you to keep talking to a dead dog and believing he's alive. Secondly, I do have a son, who is starting to talk to Rowdy like he's real. I figure I should get him a real dog before he gets scarred and thinks that all dogs are like that."

"Well, Rowdy is good with kids…."

"No Newbie."

"Well, what about a maltipoo?"

"…is that another dead dog?"

"No. Elliot was talking about them the other day. They're supposed to be tiny and…never mind."

"You wanted to call it cute, didn't you?"

"…no."

"It's alright, Hilary. You can if you want to."

"Shut up. What kind of dog do you want?"

"Maybe a live version of Rowdy? Golden labs are good dogs."

"Yeah, maybe…."

"Newbie, we're not bringing Rowdy back to life. Stop daydreaming and thinking we are."

"…it'd be good if he couldn't talk when we brought him back to life. He knows too much."

"Newbie. I'm getting my son a dog. If you want any input, let me know."

"…Can we name him Rowdy Jr?"
