[ SO UM

YOUR DOOR JUST GOT BROKEN DOWN BY THIS REALLY APOLOGETIC PERSON ]

-- oh shit, sorry.

Are you a jerk by any chance?

It depends on the occasion. Right now, I've been very kind to you, haven't I? Even if you destroyed my door of primitiveness.

That was an accident! Also I didn't mean it in a judge-y way just . . . did you just say Door of Primitiveness.

Primitiveness is a rather long word.

So, where you come from are there not doors then? How do you have privacy?

Our doors are not primitive.

Fancy . . . doors?

Yes.

But you are not prepared to learn of them. They do come from an advanced civilization.

. . . well, I mean, I've seen some fancy doors before. It just kind of seems silly to be like 'These Doors Are Inferior Because Whatever Reason' . . .

For how long Earth has been around, you'd think it would be far more advanced. The mechanism of having to turn a knob.

Is it really that important, though? There's a lot of cool things about Earth.

There are.

If the doors really mattered you could help people make better doors.

Unfortunately, Earth is not ready for such advanced doors. It is custom to ... earn such things.

What, pay for it?

No. Money isn't everything.

Though ... I suppose I'm no longer following those rules ...

Oh, like a law thing. [ waves a hand ] Who actually pays attention to those, though.

Don't most?

There's so many places with so many laws, though. Adhering to them all would be impossible.

True. I dedicated myself to a certain set of laws.

Which ones?

The Kree Empire's.

The list of them is ... very long.

Never heard of 'em. Also that sounds pretty annoying.

Are you often annoyed by being born into a system where there are laws?

Yeah, definitely.
