(Cheerful) "Y'all are new? Well, shucks! I woulda told Ma to cook up somethin' special if I knew you were comin'! Nah, it really wouldn't've been an issue. Ma loves meetin' new people! So, what are your names? I'm Huxley!"

(Bittersweet) "Course I know that. I've always known that Rachel only sees me as a friend...huh? Does it make me sad? If I'm tellin' ya the truth, not really. I'm just happy that I get to be around her. Rachel's a really swell woman, and she's got more beauty than anything or anyone I've ever seen. I'd be the happiest man in town if she suddenly woke up one day and fell in love with me. But if she only likes me as a friend? Then, hell, I can't do nothin' about it. So I'll keep bein' her friend, and that's fine with me."

(Sad, but trying to sound happy) "You've really gotta go? I...I understand. I know how he's been treatin' you. I've seen it since we were kids. And I know how much you hate it. So if you've really gotta go, then I understand and I'll support you. Just...wherever you plan on goin', please don't forget about me, okay? Remember Huxley, your best friend that annoyed the hell out of you."
