I want to show you one cool thing.
It's not like it's hidden, but I haven't seen anybody point it out so...
You know how Casey and Donnie start their conversations? That's their little thing.
Donnie lives in multi-tasking mode all the time and often doesn't even turn his head to greet you if you start talking to him. From the outside it looks like he doesn't care. But he and Casey have this little moment at the beginning of almost any conversation where they call each other by name.
It's Donnie's way of saying "I'm busy, but I know you are here and I'm listening to you."
At first it was a one-way thing, but then Casey started doing that in response too and it became a common habit between them
So now whenever Casey wants to address Donnie, he says his name and then pauses. ...You know..., so that Donnie fills that pause by saying his name in response.
Even if Donnie isn't there anymore.
And he keeps doing that with little Donnie.
