Explain

[REDACTED] She called you Solo? Like the bounty hunter?

SOLOMON She did like Han a lot when we were younger.

[REDACTED] You’d think she’d call you Luke. Since she’s your Leia.

SOLOMON That’s kinda gross. 

[REDACTED] A tenth of marriages.

SOLOMON I can’t believe you’re using that against me.

[REDACTED] I did some research. In this Chinese novel —

Red Chamber Dream, a literary classic

known also by The Story of the Stone —

the male protagonist must make a choice:

which one of his two cousins will he marry? 

SOLOMON What were you looking up?

[REDACTED] Your situation.

SOLOMON I don’t know what you mean.

[REDACTED] Come on now, Solo.

You’ve never thought of Rachel as a woman?

SOLOMON Of course I have. But she’s my family.

[REDACTED] And Juniper?

SOLOMON That’s different and you know it.

[REDACTED] But do I know it?

SOLOMON If you don’t, you should.

[REDACTED] I think that family is arbitrary.

SOLOMON Genetics aren’t.

[REDACTED] But is that so important?

The chance of defects isn’t that much higher.

Between first cousins, even. 

SOLOMON But it’s there.

[REDACTED] It’s always there. Not just for relatives.

Fact is that neither Juniper nor Rachel 

is close enough to you genetically

for it to really matter too much more

than what your family and friends might think.

SOLOMON I can’t believe I’m hearing this from you.

You’re seriously defending incest now?

[REDACTED] Supporting you. But also teasing you.

SOLOMON I’m honored.

[REDACTED] As you should be.

SOLOMON Don’t be cheeky.

[REDACTED] Continuing on. What is most important here

is not that Rachel is your aunt or cousin.

It’s that you two grew up as family.

Would things between you two be different

if she were not a relative by blood?

Imagine if you knew she was adopted.

Is she fair game?

SOLOMON Of course not.

[REDACTED] That’s my point.

SOLOMON So what you’re saying is, it’s in my head.

[REDACTED] What matters more than what’s inside your head?

SOLOMON I think, therefore I am.

[REDACTED] Yeah, pretty much.
