"I didn't--"

Ford cuts himself off. Wow, that sure almost slipped out, didn't it. Nope, Bill's drifting off, better accept this dodged bullet and this reprieve from talking about making a very poor choice.

That's just....bad. For nebulous reasons Ford is having trouble defining.

Bill Cipher is a bad person. So is Ford, sometimes.

Bill Cipher does bad things. So does Ford.

Bill Cipher isn't trying to be a better person. But he is trying to treat Ford well enough that Ford doesn't leave, and he's changing whether he wants to or not.

Bill Cipher kissing is something his family wouldn't understand. His family is not here, and seeing them again is a nebulous goal, pushed further down the line than it was when Ford came to the Barge. Who knows what's going to happen between now and then? The shape of his future is very, very unclear.

Bill doesn't know how to stop manipulating him. But they're talking about it?

Bill is going to take over an unsuspecting dimension without mercy. But Ford already softened the effects of his plans, prevented a lot of harm. He's doing good, by being here. And the dimensional takeover was going to happen sooner or later.

Wow, he is having a very hard time pinning down a good, concrete reason. Having to think through the champagne buzz is making it even harder.
