[Sam's broadcasting from a seat at Your Place, a milkshake on the table in front of her.]

Having now completed a couple years of it, I'm now pretty sure everyone under a hundred is improvising this 'real adult' stuff. And as for the rest of you? [She grins a crooked little grin, pointing at the camera with a cherry stem.] I've got some suspicions still.

[The broadcast would end there---and does, briefly---but the network's treated to Hiro hijacking Sam's drone to properly inform other Haveners.]

Hey, so, uh, what Sam means is that it's her birthday and she's just being cryptic. So, y'know. Don't let her forget it.

[ooooOOOOHHHH Knock Out's engine just REVS okay.]

Now someone's speaking my language. I might feel bad leaving you in the dust, though.

[That's a lie he absolutely will not feel bad about it EVER]

[oh]

[oh hells yeah]

[Following the word 'race,' Sam can't be arsed to school her expression---she looks like a kid who just heard Halloween is happening two times this year, even as she shoves herself from the window to sit straight against the driver's seat and clap out her excitement.]

Today was good, but it just got awesome.

[He laughs] No you wouldn’t.

[He gets up and folds down into a sleek hover craft.] We want to set a finish line somewhere or just drive until it’s clear who wins?

[automobileenthusiast]

You're right, I wouldn't.

[Sit tight Sam, Knock Out's just gonna adjust your seat belt a bit since he's about to be totally reckless with a human passenger and everything. GOOD CHOICES.]

A finish line wouldn't be a bad idea, where did you have in mind?

[10_20_15_5_50]

Not even close.

[Any attempt to even approach 'admonishment' hasn't a hope---gleeful anticipation would take too much out of her tone, so Sam's remark is just a friendly observation.]
