Because romance is dead.

[deadliestviper]

Sweetie. Let me make this perfectly clear, since you seem to have trouble grasping it.

The past is the past, and it ain't never happenin' again. Do you think I got this far by being stupid? Now I know Bill was one thing, you do too. But if I worked with O-Ren, Vernita, and Elle so long without anything besides well-deserved respect and hate developing, why would lust enter into it after they left me for dead? Why the fuck would I want to fuck anyone after the whole coma thing?

"Hate sex"? Please, bitch. My fucking and fighting days have gone the way of the Deadly Viper squad, I don't care who you're offering. Drop this bullshit; all I want to do is live what's left of my life in peace. So here's an idea: save your shipping and your lesbian fantasies for some other girl and let me find my daughter.

It could have been longer.

Wow, that must have been some music. What was your 'weapon of choice'?

[deadliestviper]

What were you in for?

Oh, I could shred... on guitar. Haven't played in ages though.

[butisitzen]

Murder one.

You ever thought about picking up the axe again?

[deadliestviper]

Mm. Did you do it?

Every once in a while, I miss it. Hard to do when you've got a teenager, though.

[butisitzen]

You know, most people don't bother asking that. But no. I didn't.

Are you afraid it'll rub off on her?

[deadliestviper]

I didn't think so. In my experience, people who've killed are quick to boast about it. But I'm sorry you had to go through that.

[chuckles] My daughter is Mommy's girl. Knowing my kid, if she wanted to learn she'd learn quick and do her damnedest to best me. No, I just don't want it to split my attention.

[butisitzen]

Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger.

Do you know a lot of killers?

[deadliestviper]

Well said. I like the way you think.

Not anymore. Back in my rock days I ran with a rough crowd.

[butisitzen]

Thank you. The Dalai Lama said that, but it's an inner truth we all possess. I can give you some books if you're interested.

I know a lot of killers. Some of them aren't as rough as you'd think.

Sorry this is so late...

[deadliestviper]

I think I'd like that.

Yeah? Guess they don't all hang out in biker bars hustling pool then.

pfft it's okay, I'm the latest of lateville

[butisitzen]

They have them on tape, too. Hands-free. Just in case you want to listen to them in your car. Sometimes you can't beat a comforting voice to drown out your own thoughts.

Do you think that's why so many people hang out in bars? I mean, they're so noisy and crowded. Maybe they're trying to drown their thoughts out too.
