What I always do- keep on keeping on. ...And look at buying a motorcycle.
[Is laughing at himself a form of vanity or bullying? It was good, joke or not!]
That's the spirit!
Oh I've never even ridden on a motorcycle, but I'm not going to let that stop me. One of my friends got one so she's taking me to look at some. Gonna get a new jacket and sunglasses, too. I'm pretty stoked.

[ hank probably wouldn't appreciate the irony of connor doing something dangerous (particularly, something so dangerous involving a motor vehicle) after all he's taken him to task about his drinking, but he won't mention it. there's something satisfying about seeing himself so excited. ]
I suppose it could be fun...
You're going to buy clothes?
[ maybe that shouldn't be as notable as buying a motorcycle, but it's just different when you're an android. ]
