[And he catches the ball. And just looks down at it for a moment before, slowly, shaking his head.]

No. I'm not. Towards you maybe yes but....not in the end. I probably would've been the worst of all.

[And he just stares at the ball a moment more, before nodding.]

Sure. Let's play catch.

Here.

[And he'll throw the ball hard and far and wide, hoping to force the pod!Picky to chase it. So he can leave. So he can find the actual Picky.]

Catch.
