Confusion Over Truth Serum Claims

And he was like: "Yeah, you know, I thought I was gonna be with her for ever, but now I'm all alone!" And I was like: "Damn homie, you know what, you gotta chin up, cause you'll find a new partner, you know what? I'm Luis!" And he says: "You know what? I'm Scottie, and we're gonna be best friends"--

[another flashback begins; [Morrissey; flashback ends]
Sonny Burch Lang.
Luis Right, right, right, right, right, right. So anyway, Scottie gets out of jail, and he starts working for Hank, that's when he met Hope. And Hope's all like: "I want nothing to do with you, look at my hairdo, I'm all business!" And then Scottie's like: "You know what, girl, my heart is all broken, and I'll probably never find love again, but damn if I wanna kiss you!!" But then you fast-forward and they're all like into each other, right? And then Scottie's like: "You know what, I can't tell you this, but ]!" And then she said: "I can't believe you split like that! Smell you later, dummy!" So Scottie was on house arrest, and he wouldn't admit it, but his heart was all like: "Damn, I thought Hope coulda been my new true partner, but I blew it!" But fate brought em back together, and then Hope's heart is all: "I'm worried that I can't trust him, and he's gonna screw up again and ruin everything!" And then my heart is all like: "That fancy raspberry filling represents the company's red, and we're days away from going out of business-- OOOOH!

Kurt That's terrible bossing!
Dave Damn, bro!!!
Luis That's on me! That's on me--
Sonny Burch Hey! Enough. I'm gonna ask you one more time. Where is Scott Lang?
[already losing his patience]
Luis I've been tryin to tell you, he's in a tricky spot, emotionally speaking!
Sonny Burch Emotionally speaking? Well, where is Scott Lang... LITERALLY SPEAKING?!?
