o captain, my captain

What’re you doing wandering around here at a time like this? Got nowhere better to be?

No.

New. Plenty new buildings after the bombing, dolly.

You’ve learned well grasshopper, I am proud. So Adkins what’s with the clean shaven face? Ya gotta a gal you’re trying to impress or do ya just wanna look young again? Oh I know, this is just a hint for me.. I know what my next project is. Gonna get my handsome pal Stan a doll to date… and before ya say no, let me tell ya it’s too late ya can’t stop me.

I jus' wanted it off for a while. It was itchin' some, let me tell ya. No, Wade, no. No.

New recruits are trainin'.

Son of a — you really gave me a fright! Anyone teach you that it’s poor manners to sneak up on a lady?

My ma always said only paranoid folk are frightened like ya is. Ain't nothin' t'worry 'bout, lil jane, I don't understood nothin' ya said anyways.

Uh... I think ya may be confusin' me with some other jack, lil' jane, 'cause I ain't know what you is talkin' 'bout.

That’s a yes, I’m making it one. Next time you can just say it ya know? - It’s going.. I mean believe it or not I’m not the worst employe, not the most punctual but not the worst. What have you been up to Adkins? If you say just working I’ll hit you, I promise. 

Ya gonna do it no matter what I actually mean, dolly, I ain't gonna discuss it. You isn't? Well, I don't mean no offense but knock me down an' steal my teeth, Rox. I have been... runnin'. An' marchin'. An' assemblin'. There, I ain't say no w-word. 

Ya as difficult as a mule. Fine. I'm occasionally not serious. Now stop makin' 'em judgy eyes 'cause they be makin' me more nervous than a sinner in a church.

Good! Lets hope it stays like that. 

Lose something Adkins? No I know ya missed me and decided to come visit! Yes I like option two better we will go with that.

Whatever ya say, Rox. How's the job?

I'm always serious, Frederick.

Come ‘ere, Jack. How many times I gotta tell ya that we ain’t serving no more nuts with your drinks. What - what do ya mean why?.. Ya know what.. get out.. get out of my bar.. What ..What are ya lookin’ at? youse got something to say too? Guess what, sugar - there’s the door. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya now

I ain't opened my mouth t'say nothin', lil' jane.

If ya gonna ask me, I'd be the first t'say ya don't needa be there. But somethin' be tellin' me that she ain't gonna like that. An' she gonna get real loud an' real weird if ya don't show up, jack.

Fine…So.. Uhm.. ya want to go get that burger? 

D'ya really have to ask, jack?
