[brothor]

Because of my good and honest heart! But it is not, I promise you!

[arrogantalloy]

A relief for my poor heart to hear, I promise.

[brothor]

I would not be so cruel as to lead you along like that, Stark. You know I have nothing but mutual hatred for you.

[arrogantalloy]

Mutual hate? I don't hate you, I just think you're loud and irritating. Not really on the same level of hate there.

[Yet he seems completely comfortable with Thor hating him.]

[brothor]

I think you are a smug jerk! I suppose I do not hate you so much as I strongly dislike you.

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, that one's a fact, no need to think on that. Now you're really trying to steal my heart with all this strongly dislike business.

[brothor]

Fine. I know you are a smug jerk with no charisma.

I don't want your heart, it is too small.

[arrogantalloy]

Wait. No charisma? Are you serious?

[brothor]

You have fake charm! That is not charisma.

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, this charm isn't fake, it's taken a lot of practise, thank you.

Not all of us have natural labrador reactions that make us automatically endearing to those around them.

[brothor]

Natural charm does not take practise.

Do not be jealous that I do not have to work on being liked.

[arrogantalloy]

Jealous? Of you? You can't be serious.

[brothor]

Of my charm, yes. It is undeniable.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, not really jealous of the puppy next door routine that you give off. Not really my style.

[brothor]

I thought your style was whatever the ladies enjoyed.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, I'm not really as woman's weekly as you think. I am at least a little picky.

[brothor]

It does not do you any good, does it?

[arrogantalloy]

I'd say it does. I mean I do spend a lot of time with girls you know.

[brothor]

And yet you do not have a girlfriend! What does that say about you?

[arrogantalloy]

I don't have a girlfriend because I don't want a girlfriend. That's what it says about me.

[brothor]

It says that you are incapable of love.

[arrogantalloy]

It doesn't mean that.

[brothor]

Then what is implied by it?

[arrogantalloy]

It means I don't like being tied down. It could mean that.

[brothor]

That sounds as if you are incapable of love. So I am right!
