A I R B O R N (E)

beats working for my old man.

can’t please my old man, no way.

your folks run you off?

well, we got to do something about this food situation.

i wouldn’t mind sleeping out there.

that ain’t the point.

i warn you, i can’t cook worth a damn.

you can’t be no worse than me, then.

that’s more word than you’ve spoke in the last two weeks.

hell, that’s the most that i’ve spoke in a year.

you may be a sinner, but i ain’t yet had the opportunity.

you’ll freeze your ass off.

just quit your hammering and get in here.

fuck me!

see you for supper.

it’s a one shot thing we got going on here.

it’s nobody’s business but ours.

i don’t need your money.

i can’t believe i left my damn shirt up there.

you’re wasting your time here.

it’s not so lonely now, is it?

i’d like to buy ___ here a beer.

so where do you figure the most pussy’s at, las vegas or california?

hey, you might wanna keep it down.

___, just leave them alone. let’s just move.

you wanna lose about half your fucking teeth, huh?

wait, hold on. you don’t think i’m too fast, do you?

maybe we should put the brakes on?

fast or slow, i just like the direction you’re going.

you are in a hurry.

i’m supposed to be at home with the car by midnight.

i got a million things to do here before i can leave.

i’d rather be at my job, if i lose my job.

what about my job?

we’ll more likely just go out and get drunk.

___ fuckin’ ____!

we might not get back tonight, when we get to drinking and talking and all.

would you get me a pack of smokes?

didn’t think i’d hear from you again.

i figured you were sore from that punch.

i got out while i could still walk.

i swear to god, i didn’t know we was going to get into this again.

i couldn’t get here fast enough.

what are we gonna do now?

well, i doubt there’s nothing we can do.

i’m stuck with what i got here. and making a living is about all i got time for now.

i’m starving. wanna get something to eat?

i’m enjoying my peace and quiet.

you know it could be like this. just like this. always.

it’d be a sweet life.

we’re around each other and this thing grabs hold of us again in the wrong place, in the wrong time, and we’re dead.

we can get together, once in a while. 

if you can’t fix it, ___, you got to stand it.

i’m sure as hell sorry. you know i am.

i’ll see you next month then.

we don’t eat with our eyes.

now you sit down, you old son of a bitch.

now you sit down before i knock your ignorant ass into next week.

that don’t mean nothing, ___.

don’t try and fool me no more, ___. i know what that means.

shut up, listen to me, you don’t know nothing about it!

get out. get out! you hear me, ___? get out!

hey asshole! watch where you’re going!

that’s some high class entertainment, if you ask me.

you and ___, it’s normal and all?

you remember getting the feeling when you’re in town, and someone looks at you suspicious, like he knows?

maybe you ought to get out of there, you know?

go to hell, ___.

you want to live your miserable fucking life? then go right ahead.

i was just thinking out loud.

yeah, you’re a real thinker there.

he got it all figured out, ain’t he.

wanna dance?

my feet hurt.

i’m trying to get a foot rub, dummy.

thank you for asking to dance with me. i really appreciate that.

he wouldn’t listen to me even if he knew he was going deaf tomorrow.

you don’t think i’m the one for him?

you’re good enough.

you don’t say much, but you get your point across.

sorry. i didn’t mean to be rude.

you’re standing on your feet, cowboy.

i was thinking, maybe i could come stay with you.

you probably deserve it.

the truth is, sometimes i miss you so much i can hardly stand it.

there’s something i’ve been meaning to tell you, bud.

you know, you had a fucking week to say some little word about this.

why is we’re always in the friggin’ cold?

you know me. about all the travelling i’ve ever done is around a coffee pot looking for the handle.

there ain’t never enough time. never enough.

this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation.

you forget what it’s like being broke all the time.

you got a better idea?

i did once.

is that a fucking problem?

we could have had a good life together. a fucking real good life.

but you didn’t want it, ___.

everything’s built on that. that’s all we got.

so i hope you know that, if you don’t never know the rest.

you tell me you’ll kill me for needing something that i don’t hardly never get!

you have no idea how bad it gets!

i can’t make it on a couple of high-altitude fucks, once or twice a year.

you are too much for me, ___.

i wish i knew how to quit you.

why don’t you? why don’t you just let me be, huh?

it’s because of you, ___, that i’m like this.

i’m nothing. and i’m nowhere.

get the fuck off of me.

it’s all right.

you’re sleeping on your feet like a horse.

i don’t get you, ___.

i was probably no fun anyways, was i?

he drank a lot.

we was good friends.

want a cup of coffee, don’t you? piece of cherry cake?

i’ll have a cup of coffee.

i feel awful bad about ___.

i can’t begin to tell you how bad i feel.

like the car?

___, you need more furniture.

if you got nothing, you don’t need nothing.

feel free to change pronouns, etc!

“ how’d you get on?”

“ that’s the last thing we need right now.”

“ well, it is what it is.”

“ i need some rest.”

“ i haven’t slept in three days.”

“ how you doing?”

“ i need you to… i’m sorry, i’m sorry to ask, but…”

“ at least go take a look.”

“ i know if the situation were reversed and… he’d look for me.”

“ he wouldn’t leave. not like that.”

“ hey, i see some smoke… come on, let’s take a look.”

“ we need to stay together.”

“ what are you doing?”

“ you were there… what really happened?”

“ it was crazy. raining bullets.”

“ that ain’t like him though.”

“ i’m surprised we escaped at all.”

“ damn snow’s coming in hard again.”

“ the horses are struggling.”

“ i don’t know about this, w-we can’t follow nothing.”

“ let’s push on a little bit.”

“ hey, look. over there, you see that?”

“ i don’t think we can go much further on the horses.”

“ we’ll have to walk from here.”

“ i’d grab that shotgun of yours. who knows what’s up ahead.”

“ you sure about this?”

“ over here! help!”

“ watch your step, this is real slippery.”

“ damn, it’s cold.”

“ i’m miserable. been a tough few days.”

“ here, take a drink of this.”

“ i’m not designed for this snow.”

“ __, where are you? __, can you hear me?”

“ that’s quite a scratch you got there.”

“ never thought i’d say this, but… it’s good to see you.”

“ you don’t look so good.”

“ i don’t feel too good, neither.”

“ don’t die just yet, cowboy.”

“ well, we can’t go back the way we came. let’s try this way.”

“ ain’t you a sorry sight?”

“ i’ll distract them while you get to the horses.”

“ go, i’ll draw ‘em off you.”

“ i don’t feel too good.”

“ you’ll be fine. it’s just like a… a dog bite.”

“ i knew a feller, got bit by a dog. died an hour later.”

“ you ain’t gonna die. not yet.”

“ thanks for coming for me.”

“ you know, we’re gonna need to come up with a better story for that scar.”

“ so, freezing, bleeding, starving, damn near getting eaten to death ain’t good enough for you?”

“ you’re alive! oh, you’re alive!”

“ this is a new low, even by your standards.”

“ you sound doubtful.”

“ i trust your judgment. always have.”

“ what about you. you doubting me, too?”

“ thank you, for your strength. it means a lot to me.”

“ when you fall, there’ll be a party.”

“ you fools punching each other, when __ needing punching, hard.”

“ folks been through a lot recently, we hardly back on our feet yet.”

“ i know you hate him.”

“ no, you’re just doubting me.”

“ i would never doubt you, __, you… you always said revenge is a luxury we can’t afford.”

“ this is about more than revenge for business long ago.”

“ and you think now is the right time to hit a train?”

“They never expect a Jedi Inquisition!” Twin blades, golden in hue, came around to deflect the blaster shots that got far too close to 1944 for Ace’s comfort. “D’you think I could get on top of one and do the thing you do, with your blasters? Only- with lightsabers! Bet that would be neat.”

“Master, wait.” Anakin turned to face him fully. He couldn’t just stand here and let him walk away. Not now. He had to say something …

He had a sinking feeling he might not get another chance.

“Master …,” he said hesitantly, “I know I’ve … disappointed you in these past few days. I have been arrogant. I have … not been very appreciative of your training, and what’s worse, of your friendship. I offer no excuse, Master. My frustration with the Council … I know that none of it is your fault, and I apologize. For all of it. Your friendship means everything to me.”
