ARE YOU KIDDING ME I THINK A. GARFIELD IS THE MOST SAD. and it's a kind of sadness he can't justify so he covers it up with a manic kind of joy, all over the place and everywhere, clinging to Jesse and Emma and being really earnest and motoring off his mouth about everything in general and nothing that really matters. This is one area where Andrew can't... can't really figure out how to be honest with himself.
(And I think there's a whole backstory in here, about how on the first day they met for the first readthrough of The Social Network, Andrew came out to Jesse --
"Boys and girls, actually," he corrects Jesse, and Jesse blinks.
"Oh, right," he says. "Sorry for assuming."
Andrew had already been convinced that this guy, this Jesse, would be one of the good ones, but he's delighted to have it confirmed.
"Thank you," he says, beaming widely. "Thanks for understanding."
"No problem," Jesse says, and wonders if he should reciprocate, but he doesn't, because he has never known the gift of a well-timed me too.
"I just - I just really like people, y'know?" Andrew says, his eyes wide and earnest.
Jesse wonders if there's a sexuality for just not really liking people, because if there is, he's it. (Andrew may or may not be an exception.) He smiles wryly to himself.
Andrew catches that smile, says, "Yeah, I know. I have this whole speech about sexual morality and integrity and how cheating is awful and consent is great, believe me, Jesse Eisenberg, and I want you to like me so I won't give the whole spiel -" he pronounces spiel like shpiel, and Jesse likes self-deprecation, oh, okay, he can work with that.
"Maybe another time," Jesse says. "We can both give each other an hour to talk about our most esoteric concerns and never talk about it again for the rest of our lives."
"No shame," Andrew says, pointing a finger at him. "NO SHAME."
... and that is how Jesse knows that Andrew would never even think of getting involved with someone else while he was with Emma, so god, he should stop thinking about it while hating himself a little.)
