-‘troup with scabies’ is a running joke between the three of them. it stopped being funny like, the third time the reference was made, but aaron and alex can’t get enough of it. everything comes back to the scabies. especially when they’ve all been drinking. robert can’t get a date? it was the scabies. raining on saturday? bob’s scabies. he loses the case brief he’d been working on for 8 hours straight? goddamn scabies.

‘Alexander I swear to god that was one time.’

‘That’s what you get for shaking Gouv’s hand—’

‘—And then licking it.’

‘SHUT UP, AARON, YOU WEREN’T EVEN THERE.’

-aaron loves mexican restaurants. he’ll try every single one within a 30 mile radius and drag alexander along every single time. at first alex was slightly embarrassed that aaron insisted on speaking with the waiter only in spanish. it got even weirder when aaron, who always had trouble with the grammar and word-usage of other languages, forgot certain phrases and words in spanish and so just made up his own.
