The microphones are off, but the conversation isn't.

Dave: I have a question.
Reese: Every time you say that, I know it's going to end badly.
Dave: Would you save your friend from a grizzly bear if it meant it rained on you for the rest of your life?
Reese: Which friend?
Dave: See? You already broke the question.
Reese: I didn't break it. You gave me incomplete information.
Dave: It doesn't matter which friend.
Reese: It absolutely matters. Some of my friends could beat up a bear.
Dave: That's...
No.
That's not the point.
Reese: I think Jen would win.
Dave: Against a grizzly bear?
Reese: I wouldn't bet against her.
Dave: You know what I think is funny?
Reese: That you thought this was a simple question?
Dave: No.
I was trying to figure out if I'd sacrifice something for somebody I love.
Reese: And I was trying to keep my friends alive.
Dave: We answered two completely different questions.
Reese: Exactly.
Dave: Maybe that's why these conversations are fun.
Reese: Because nobody's actually talking about the bear.
Dave: Right.
Reese: They're talking about themselves.
Dave: Huh.
I hadn't thought of that.
Reese: I know.
You were too busy standing in the rain.
