Mr. Ajayi is funny for this 😁 And Charlie’s cascading *bonk* before these lines 😅

I think the pilot used Ben’s time really effectively. It immediately started to show his self-centered behaviour, and used each of his appearances to do it, nothing superfluous. Thus, although Ben is introduced in the same short episode where Charlie textually describes how Ben treats him, the audience knows it’s true. It’s been set up; shown before being told.
Already knowing how Ben acts, I specifically noticed it in their first conversation, which is as short as it is informative, ig 😅 After briefly apologizing for rescheduling last-minute, Ben doesn’t really make conversation, just says that he missed Charlie’s face. Charlie is the first to ask him about his Christmas, which is basic politeness. Ben gives a nondescript answer, starts staring at Charlie’s mouth, and while he does ask back, he doesn’t even let Charlie get through his answer before kissing him — back to what Ben wants. The exchange is a formality, because Ben’s priority is obviously kissing > …anything about Charlie. He ends the encounter with “see you later then, yeah?”, but don’t mistake that for a response to anything Charlie said, or something Ben expects confirmation for — it’s already settled. Ben’s in agreement. With himself.
Nearly everything is on Ben’s terms. It's like he’s interacting with a wall, who will just follow along with whatever he does.
