== Lyrics ==
Pretrial Friend
I'll think about the first time
We all met at the bus.
And I'll think about how I was filled
With fear but also trust.
Xander
(whispers) Trust.
Pretrial Friend
I'll think about how you said
"This is the song we play on the bus,
And we don't vote on the song.
This is the song."
Xander
I'd say equal parts fear and admiration.
Both
Equal parts fear and admiration.
Xander
You come on kind of strong,
But then you finish...
Also strong, so—
Both
Equal parts fear and admiration.
Pretrial Friend
Why does the song have to be
"The General" by Dispatch?
It doesn't get us amped up at all.
Xander
Yeah, it's like,
Not really the best pretrial jam.
Pretrial Friend
We're trying to get super excited
And we're really hot in our suits
And you're like
"This is the song we play,
And you'll like it, that's the truth!"
Xander
So it's, I guess
Both
Equal parts fear and admiration.
Xander
With, like, a hint of pent-up disappointment
At your refusal to listen to other ideas, but
Both
Equal parts fear and admiration.
Pretrial Friend
We'll never forget how you impeached the cop
On your cross-examination.
Xander
It filled us with equal parts...
Pretrial Friend
Fear...
Xander
And...
Both
Admiration.
