[Jake is loaded so he just did not think about things like money limits.]
Oh! Oh, golly, wow, I'm really tickled pink you like it so much! I debated between a few things but I thought, well, who doesn't love The Princess Bride?
[ listen he worked very hard to get that role, because it meant he would get a shit ton of scholarships, but also because he wanted to beat everyone else. i wish his reasoning was more noble, like a love for learning, but no. ]
It works even better since my birthday's in two days.
Ah, you've reached manhood! Finally ready to get some hair on your chest, eh? [Do trolls get hair on their chests though and do we really want to know.] Any plans for celebration?
No? [ why would he make plans, gosh. he has a feeling that anya might end up doing something for him though but he's not entirely sure about that so he won't say anything. ]
Well... That's up to you. But I think you should go out with a friend at least! It's not that eighteen is really any different but spending your birthday on your lonesome is never fun.
[Honestly this just makes Jake think of Karkat as like a kid you took to Burger King who put on one of the paper crowns and it's fucking adorable to him.]
They were a big to-do when I was a tyke. As I got older, I appreciated just doing a special day for myself or with a friend or two, though. Sort of a day to just relax and enjoy myself.
Oh, no. Horses are all right but I prefer dogs. I think the biggest present I received was... a rather famous chocolatier and vintner creating a special chocolate cake and wine pair for me using grapes harvested the year I was born. It was an incredible. My old man always said the rich don't buy items, they buy experiences. Um, that's actually why I chose what I did for you! It's hard to experience movies beyond watching them. But having a piece of them feels like it to me.

[ he's breathing again at least, and he shouted that part.

I'm not giving it back though by the way.

Good, I wouldn't accept it! It's yours. I heard you got valedictorian, too, so you especially earned it.
