“Hey, trouble. You look like you could use a bad idea.”

"Okay. Grabby weirdo patrol starts now. You ready?"

/...

"But it would work though. Right? Like in real life. You'd just go back."

"You hate these too, or is it just me?"

.

So. First day, aye? How'd ye find it?

.

"Four years and you couldn't just text?"

. goth . emo ....

"Your stint's almost up. We have enough fuel for a few more laps. Let me know when you're coming back in."

"Thanks for the help. No worries. I got it."

...

"Get here okay? I got stuck on the 5 for like three hours, there was a whole thing, and then parking was..."

"So uh... How's life?"

.

"Can I sit? Just a few minutes. I'll be quiet, I swear."

"You're not going to talk to me the whole time, are you?"

"I've been thinking about hash browns for like an hour and a half. Waffle House. Come on. Get your shoes."

"They're here. They're here, today's the day, they're actually here."

"No. I'm asleep. I'm at my desk and I'm dreamin', that's all this..."

"Wanna see how fast I can drop that ass too?"

...

"Right, then. Let's have a look at you."

...

"Okay, hi, hi, I'm Kiki, I'm like your welcome person."

"If it isn't the cute thing from upstairs."

..

"Hi. Um. I, ah. I was hoping I'd find you, actually. May I sit?"

"Up. Coffee's getting cold. Our plane to Tokyo leaves at noon."

"If you throw up in my car, nobody will ever find your body."

"Sorry, I would've grabbed something nice if I'd known you'd be here today."

"Okay, your turn. You here with people, or you here with people who already left?"

"There's a thing going on at the Grindhouse tonight...
You in?"

"Mornin'. Coffee's fresh. Well. Fresh-ish. Made it like an hour ago."

"I've got a few hours before I have to go be someone's daughter."

"Hmm. I suppose you'll have to do. Won't you?"

....

"Hey. You're not in a rush, are you?"

"Okay. So. Something happened. But like."
.

"So are you from around here, or are you a long-term tourist?"

"What brings you in at this hour?"

.

"Sorry. I talk a lot when I'm... I'm just really excited to meet you."
