You boys are cute, you know that? The baking is mighty tempting...
[He looks between them, looking both in deep concentration and deeply amused. This is, of course, serious business!]
What can I say, one of you beat the other to the punch by a couple seconds, and I'm a sucker for an underdog. [...wait-] No offense, Jude. [is that even offensive??] I'll have to throw my hat in with my brother in arms. I'm holding you to that drink, Barrow, even if there's no other bonus involved.
