No? Then I need to try harder to find the right words that will help you believe me. And in doing so, I can show you that I am, in fact, a wordsmith. [ He tilts his head to one side, watching her closely to see her reactions. ] So what do you need? I can get it for you. I want to get it for you.
[ He pauses to think for a moment. ] You want... companionship. Understanding. Right? I can give you that.
[ Never mind that he's never known friendship, because of the obvious, but he wants to try it with her.
He sees her eyes narrow, but he lacks the perception that Alan has, that ability to read her, to be able to intuit what she's thinking or feeling. ]
You know, I think you shouldn't move right now. [ But he doesn't stop her from trying to get up, even though his expression shifts to something that's supposed to be worry. ]
No, that's not it. I can't achieve my goals without the Clicker. I need the Clicker because it's part of the plan. With the Clicker, we can get what we need. What we want. We could be together.
And yes, I am the better Alan. Don't you see that the Clicker is the linchpin in all this? I'm better, and I'm perfect, but I do need a little help from the Clicker first. Once I have it, then I can give you everything you've ever wished for.
[ He moves in a little closer as if intending to offer her his support. ]
I'm not like him. I won't leave you behind. I'm right here, aren't I? And clearly he's just going to disappoint you forever, because he's not me. He's not perfect. You deserve better, Jesse.
