Laura: Yeah?
Ian: Margot likes to be held by you more, just like I like to snuggle with you more. We both know you're number one. And Margot and me are each other's number twos.
Laura: Laughs
Ian: When you leave the room, there's this awkward silence. And I try to make small talk while we both stare at the doorway and wait for you to come back.

And, like, a whole lot of other people I'm leaving out.

Bow before me.
Lol, yeah right. Fetch me my bottle, servant.
