Well you've gotta come from somewhere.

The All Spark.

Okay, I have no idea what that means.

It's where sparks come from.

The... shiny things we've all got in us that like. Power us and make us ... us?

Oh.

[ IT'S A DROID WITH RELIGION. ]

[Han no......]

See? Not a droid.

[HE REMAINS UNCONVINCED but maybe arguing is not the right tactic here.]

I guess you'd know better than me. So where are you going on your date?

Oh uh.

To the observation place. That's good right?

I guess? I don't really know what's normal where you're from... Do you eat?

Uh, yeah. Doesn't everybody?

Well, I don't know anything about what you are.

That's a pretty normal date thing, though, I think. In most places.

Autobot. Easy!

Oh, yeah? What about like. Looking at... stuff. Stars and stuff?

I guess that can be pretty nice.

Okay, so, this was a good idea?

No idea.

But, look, if you don't take a shot then nothing happens, right?

Y-yeah, you're right.

... What do you do if you screw it up, though?

Depends how bad you screw it up.

So. Just in theory.

How bad is "too bad to salvage"?

If it gets that bad, you'll figure it out.

That's. Super not-even-a-little-helpful.

No, I mean it. Going in thinking about that is just gonna mess things up.

... Okay. I'll. Try and not think about messing stuff up.

So that I won't mess it up?

Look, you asked this other, uh, autobot out for a reason, right? Think about that.

[Han Solo is a terrible person to ask for romantic advice.]

If you screw it up, just cool it a while. Go do something else. chances are they'll get over it eventually.

Riptide. And... yeah.

[He has no frame of reference. Honestly, Han could tell him anything, and he'd try it.]

Okay. That's uh. That's better than him hating me forever.

Nah, you'd realize you were screwing up before it got that bad.
