Yeah, no. This isn't going to work. You're already second guessing yourself way too much.

Honestly? Does this face look like that sort of fellow?

Watson? You ever pick up a book for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, by any chance?

There's a hint of it. I can see it in your stubble.

I get that a lot, but I'm pretty sure that character's name is John, not Dominic.

Oh, come on! Facial hair isn't that bad. Everyone gets it, sooner or later.

That it is, but Watson's not exactly a common surname.

Not true. Some guys have difficulty growing facial hair but maybe I got it wrong. It could just be your receding hairline.

There are plenty of uncommon surnames, I can't say I've heard of yours.

You think so? [Oh, he sees where this is going. Too bad for him, Charlie's taken more than a few bad jokes to srug this one off. He crosses his arms, raises a brow.] It's not my fault genetics said I should grow hair here instead of there.

I'd give you points for the transition, but someone beat you to that statement. Charlie Cutter.

It's not, but there's certainly something off about you. I guess only time will tell whether or not its a good thing.

Someone had a tailor in the family.

We've got time, if that's an honest concern.

You can keep that opinion yourself, there's not a single tailor that I remember in my lineage.

If I'm feeling up to sticking around.

And I didn't mean in your immediate family. You ancestry, at least to a certain point, probably had someone who was known pretty well for it.

Ah - that's what they all say, mate.

Well when you put it like that, then I can see the sense in it. Any other stabs in the dark you wanna take at my name?

That so?

And no, not really.

From what I've heard, I'll wager a yes.

I've got to say, you do look a little familiar, though. [Passing right over his head, just a little.] Any chance you've been to London?

Can't say I have.

[ Walking there would probably take a long time and he is not in any position to be jumping on planes either. ] But mister, if you think I look familiar, maybe you should take a look around your neighbourhood. Assuming you take time out of your day to speak to little boys.

Speak to - unbelievable!

[His emphasis is on every syllable as he shakes his head, leans back from the other.] It's not like that, honest to God.

I'm just saying that your sense of humour's a bit similar to someone I know.

[ Grinning to himself because he's all to pleased with having rattled the man. ]

Yeah? Well, maybe I know them.

Well, now the tables would be turned! Because how would you know another bloke about my age?

[A thumb across his nose as Charlie speaks.] You're not doing this sort of thing on purpose, are you?

I've met a lot of slow adults, besides, it's not as frowned upon for a kid my age to be talking adults since I know so little about the world and adults are there to guide and nature us.

[ Of course, he doesn't believe that himself. Not even for a second. Tilting his head slightly. ] So maybe I am doing it on purpose.

Right, role models and all of the bollocks they feed you in school. [Going with the tone, just a little.] Well I can't hold it against you for having a smart mouth.

[That and. He's above hitting a kid, come on. Also disregarding the fact that he just got associated with 'slow adults', nope.]

Yeah, something like that. [ Grinning now. ] You don't seem nearly as slow as the rest, at least.
