AVRIL: (disappointment) Ohh-oh.

lately.
AVRIL: You have, and you will.
PAUL: Thanks for this, Avril. Let's talk ?

ERLING: Trigger ?
PAUL: It's just a ... kind of a nick name kind of thing.
ERLING: Rather chummy, isn't it ?
PAUL: We've become ... good friends, that's all. Got another letter there ?
