** There's an outtake of this scene in the author's notes, of what they thought of writing the subpoena scene: %%Did not bold character names the way you usually would on TVTropes when quoting characters, because I didn't change it to look like that, that's how the author originally wrote this outtake, with the Name: Stuff they said format.

* Aaron tells Alexander to become a lawyer, since "he certainly likes talking enough." Alexander takes his advice and becomes a lawyer, annoying the jury by speaking for hours on end in court. Aaron finds this very amusing.

Aaron: [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons “Nat 20!”]]\\
