Invite him over, and if he's invested 194 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: in the party, then he's more likely to help you out. 195 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it sounds like they're just acquaintances, Like we're 196 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: not friends. 197 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 3: How do you become friends?
