Wow, Mussolini. I didn't know robots could be such nasty little dick-tators.
[He absolutely does. Robot can be... Strict. Even though everybody mostly chooses to disregard him when they can.
These are all useful observations to be filed away. Wheatley has every right to be upset after being royally dunked on, but what the little robot does have in common with Rex's own Robot is that something about their mechanical forms, and what they can and can't accomplish, has left them riddled with insecurities.]
Look, buddy. See these hands? No crossed fingers.
[He raises both hands up in the air so that they are visible over the feed, palms facing the video.]
I'm sorry.
[He does mean the words, even if he is leering a bit.
What Rex also knows, and what he sometimes uses against his so-called best friend himself, is that robots, no matter how sentient or clearly thoughtful they are, are often discriminated against. Treated like things with no feelings, as if they aren't alive.]
I may crack a few jokes here and there, but hey! If you've got enough self awareness to get your feefees hurt, I don't care if you're a green glob of goop or made of metal, when danger's on your fucking tail I'll be there to pull ya out of it.

Promise. Pinky.
[He holds his own up- That much is sincere.]
