* ArmourPiercingQuestion: Gavin is initially hesitant to go along with Julie's plans of complete and combined non-compliance against Brittas, believing that Brittas is only trying to be helpful. Then Julie poses a question by asking "One time, Gavin. You tell me one time when Brittas has helped someone and his helping has actually helped." Gavin is unable to formulate a response to the question and decides to join in with Julie's scheme.

Had a rewatch, and it turns out that Brittas never actually quotes Happy Talk after all. I partially blame it on that Sharing the Dream book, which did write out the conversation like that.
