A hundred and ten fuckin' years old and still better-lookin' 'n your ugly mug.

C'mon, bubbala, you know I couldn'ta done this without you. Cut the frown and let's make somethin' of it. We got some celebratin' to do.

Maybe if you did a little more research first, you wouldn't be so nervous about this whole endeavor. Getting me some half-decent icons wouldn't hurt either.

And get on your roommate about that Charlie account. If I have to be here, so should he.

The hell are you cryin' for?

Ma'am, I can appreciate a work in progress. Take your time.

This is a nice change of pace for you: taking up someone that abides by the law rather than some small-time crooks who take almost comically great strides to find a way to break it. Heck, I even enforce the law. You've done a regular turn around. Trust me, this will be much less vexing on the mind. Just let me do my work, and the rest will fall into place. It's as simple as that.

Now, who was it that I'm supposed to get acquainted with?

This new proposition is bold and daring if I might say so? Not without it's risks but it's a poor excuse for a gambler who shys away from a high stakes game.

If I may offer some counsel if you are thinking of sending me to that castle? Wait.

I understand they're going through a reboot process of some kind. It might be wise to see how this unfolds before sending me there. I like to be familiar with the background of any potential new residence before planting my flag.

I recognize, of course, that it bothers you -- how could I fail to notice? -- and I sympathize. However...

[A pause while he reaches for his cigarette case, lights a cigarette, and then continues.]

I'm not sure what I'm expected to say to comfort you. I highly doubt that we'll ever be in agreement about that place. You're right, of course, in that I have formed some useful... associations there. Otherwise, however, I've been eager to return home since the day I found myself displaced.

[A sigh.]

Certainly, I'm not saying that I consider my time there to be a waste. It's been productive, overall. Enjoyable, at times. There are individuals whose company...

[He shakes his head, takes another drag from his cigarette.]

In any case, I have no doubt that you'll make the most of the remaining months. It would be ridiculous not to.

Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered by the continued attention. You sure can be tenacious, when you want to be. Maybe that's why we understand each other so well. But here's the thing: you're not actually going to do anything with me. So how about you put me back where I belong, and stop coming up with ways to drag me out.

It's not that I don't enjoy taking the occasional field trip. It gets pretty boring up there in your head. But it gets pretty boring around here, too, darling.

Unless someone wants to spice things up a little. I wouldn't object to that.

gatorfights

Well well well, this sure is something. Not sure what, but something.

Didn't think you'd do it, to be honest. Didn't think you had it in you. But here I am, and I guess I might as well make the best of it. And I need a drink, which means I guess you might as well make yourself useful. Looks like we've both got something to do.

Best— [ a pause, as he clears his throat ] —best to leave things where they are.

You realize it's inaccurate to call it a "midlife crisis," don't you? At best, it's a quarter life crisis. And either way, it's insulting.

It's a car.

[And several other things, but those should probably go unmentioned.]

Not everything has to have deep psychological meaning.

dentistwithether

Mr ... Mun is it?

I think it only fair to let you know I have ... reservations about this potential endeavour. As much as I consider your efforts spirited, they are also a little rushed. Take all the time you need, look a round these so called "games" we have all the time in the world.

Remember what I told Charlie and Meyer? A deal will always wait, and a fool will always rush in.

Let me tell you something. There was a man came to me asking for money. A loan. He's a friend of my wife's relation, so I concede. The things you do for family, huh? We make an agreement; I give him the money, he'll repay me at the end of the month. Simple as that.

A month goes by. No money. The man comes to me in my shop, says there was trouble, can he have an extra week? I am a reasonable man, so I agree. The week passes, there is no money. Another week, another month, and still I'm stuck with an empty pocket. My wife's relation, he doesn't know where this man went. I keep my temper. Do some digging around. But nothing turns up.

Finally, I hear word that the klumnik is in Camden, so I make a trip. Find him in a diner. He doesn't want to talk, but what is that to me? A man may be silenced with a single blow. Not a word from him the entire drive. When he wakes up, we're in my shop. I have his arm pinned against the counter. And I make myself very clear: a man honors his commitments, a man does not back down, or disappear like a mouse.

Then I take a finger. Two fingers, three, and I give the cleaver a rest. "Do you understand?" He nods. "Just to be sure-" I take one more finger. Let him keep his thumb. And then I let him free.

Next week, I have the money, and I don't have any trouble with this man since.

What am I saying? I don't play around. I think you know this.

I have business of my own. I have my shop, I have my corner of the city. I know who to trust, what to take care of. What makes you think I want to be here, where I know nobody, where everything must be learned again? I'm a patient man, but I am too old for this.

Still. What is the sense in grousing when it has been done? Azoi gait es. I will get by.

Look, you and I both know this isn't going to go anywhere. So why insist on wasting my time? Why waste your own? Or is the concept of logic foreign to you?

If we're going to be here for a while, you might at least get me a drink. And let me know if you decide to keep me around. I'll need to start looking for clients. There's got to be someone around here in need of good defense attorney.

I didn't say moral; I said good. As in skilled. As in successful. As in I've built myself a place in the great game, and it'd be a shame to lose that because you decided to pull me over here on a whim.

It isn't as if I'm worried. With my innate talent and (dare I say) dashing good looks, I'm sure to make a name for myself anywhere I go.

byanyname

I'd say this is pretty unusual. One minute I'm kicking around the old distillery, the next I'm... wherever you said this place is. Where'd you say, again?

None of my business. Right.

Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered by all of this attention, but don't you got other things you should be doing? If you're as busy as you say you are, you oughtta get to work. Time waits for no man. Or woman. Whatever it is they say.

Besides, you don't need to worry about me; I ain't a difficult customer. I can keep myself plenty entertained. Might even turn a quick profit, I find the way in. And don't I always?

I've got a knack for survival, after all.

It seems foresight is a lost art among the young.

You have no plan for me. You have very little time. You have no mind for gambling or for business. And while I am flattered that you've taken a liking to me (or am I?), it strikes me that you have only the barest sense of who I am. You like to read. Would it not be wise to first undertake the necessary research? There is no gain in half-measures. Commit yourself entirely, or stay out of the game.

You have quite a lot of work to do, and I have little faith in your chances.

Still, you display the capacity for diligence, and your effort might be admired. Apply yourself, and this may not be a complete waste of my time.

dowhatisays

What the fuck do you mean, you ain't sure? You dragged me out to this place, and there's no fucking way I'm standing around twiddling my fucking thumbs waiting for you to make up your mind about this shit.

And the other thing, princess? If I'm here, I'm in charge, you got it? I don't play second fiddle to no fucking broad, you hear? We're doing things my way or you may find yourself in a bit of uncomfortable position.

And get a decent shot of my face, would ya? I look like a fucking chump in all these.

recognize_an_opportunity

As much as I appreciate your interest in my ventures, mun, I think you're missing the point. The way I see it, you'd be better off expressing your interest in someone else. You've got enough other "characters" for that, anyway.

[A shrug.]

I don't want any problems, here, so if you insist, I guess I have no choice but to try and work with you. It might make an uneasy partnership, though.
