No narration. Just speech.
"You know that feeling when you just finished something complicated, and you think you're done, and then you find out you have to do it all again on something else that you thought wasn't going to need it?"
"No?"
"I have it right now."
"I have literally no idea what you're talking about."
"I have it twice."
"I know a negative amount about what you're talking about."
"And I think I screwed up the first time too."
"Okay?"
"So I guess I'll just have to learn from those mistakes on the new ones."
"The more you talk, the less I understand."
"I think I still need to fix the first one."
"I ...agree?"
"It's going to be a project."
"I suppose it will be."
"I'm not happy about that."
"How could you be?"
"Honestly, it's been a bad forty-five minutes."
"Wait, forty-five? Why not just say hour?"
"I just need to pick myself up and carry forward."
"You're not even listening to me, are you?"
"I mean, the first one is salvageable, right?"
"I stole all your money this morning."
"And the new ones aren't that far gone."
"Just poured out your wallet and stuck everything in mine."
"I just have to do it better this time, and it should all work out."
"Why did you have a used condom in there? I mean, a condom, sure. But a used one?"
"The heart of a dead planetoid deserves nothing less."
"I'm sorry, what now? The heart of a dead planetoid?"
"Yeah. What did you think I was talking about?"
"I had no idea, you just kind of trailed off."
"I'll take my money back now."
"What? Oh, I didn't actually take any. I was just seeing if you were actually listening to me as you rambled on."
"But you knew about the condom."
"Everyone knows about the condom. It's not a well kept secret. And we all think it's weird."
"I see."
"What's that about the heart of a dead planetoid?"
"Yeah, I have three pieces of the heart of a dead planetoid. It's made of iron, so it rusts. I'm dealing with it."
"Oh, so the first piece was rusted, and you fixed it, but you broke it, and now the other pieces are rusted so you have to fix them, but not make the same mistakes you did with the first one so as not to mess the other two up."
"Yes, I'm glad you were paying attention."
"Of course I was. I was just very confused."
"Don't you want to know where I got the heart of a dead planetoid from?"
"Not really. Coming from you I just assume it's a euphemism or something. Or you just found some iron and decided that that's what it was."
"I can see how that would be more comfortable than the truth."
"You're an intergalactic traveller who's come here to annoy me?"
"The world will never know."
