"Hi! You've reached Stan Pines' computer phone box thing or whatever. Leave me a message and maybe if I care enough about what you've got to say I'll actually get back to you. I probably don't, but hey! Test your luck! (Followed by obnoxious laughter until the BEEP)"

You WHAT?
[The worst part is it doesn't actually trigger anything. It's just words, and words aren't enough. But now he knows what this missing piece looks like and he can't find it anywhere. He doesn't remember it at all, but he's furious just the same.]
Private
[Too bad, you having to find out like this, instead of just restoring the memory like a normal person. Oops.]
YEAH. SEE HOW POINTLESS ALL OF THIS IS? YOU AND ME PLAYING HOUSE WITH SIXER LIKE IT'S ALL GOING TO WORK OUT IN THE END?
YOU TWO ARE GOING TO LEAVE WHEN FORD'S INMATE GRADUATES. AND I'M GOING TO STAY HERE. HE'S GOING TO BE SAD ABOUT IT, BUT HE'LL GET OVER IT, BECAUSE HE'LL BE WITH HIS FAMILY. AND HE'LL GET BETTER.
[He'll be the Ford that Bill remembers again. Just somewhere else. Maybe that will be good enough. Maybe the fact that he exists and is okay will need to be good enough, even if he's not around.
The alternate Ford in the Bargeyard had three things wrong with him. Too far from his family. Forced to do too many bad things. Too close to Bill. Let's solve all three.]
UNDERSTAND?
Private
[The entire thing is confusing as hell without the recognition. There's a stark difference between knowing and remembering, and knowing is just frustrating. His brain scrambles to try and make any sense of it.
Bill's got no reason to lie right now. It wouldn't get him anything, unless he just wanted Stan to get away from him that badly, but it's still hard for Stan to wrap his brain around.]
Why the fuck would Ford still hang around you if you tried to hurt the kids?!

Private
[Stan's seeing red. If anybody tried to kill his family, he would absolutely be capable of murder. His fists are balled up and he's really pissed off, but...something isn't right.
Bill told him all of this willingly. There has to be something else here, something he can't see because he doesn't remember - because he literally can't know Bill well enough to know what he's up to.]
Y'know what? No. I'm done talking to you about this. I dunno what your game is here, but I know a con artist when I see one and you're not gonna play me like a fiddle. I'm going over your head, Pointy!
Private
YOU GUYS GOT LUCKY ONCE. ONCE! YOU THINK JUST BY PUTTING YOUR HEADS TOGETHER YOU'RE GOING TO UNCOVER SOME ULTERIOR MOTIVE HERE? IF I HAD ONE YOU'D NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND IT!
