NY: Thats... a horrible plan. Terrible. Like... I don't know what to even do with that.

MA: well, rn its the only plan we have. The southern colonies are doing what they can, but there's only so much they can do.

NY: NJ and me, tho? Really?? I don't want to deal with that tosser.

NJ: I mean, same. But, MA is right - it IS the only plan we have.

NY: ...

NY: fine. But if I die, its your fault, and im coming back to haunt you.

DC, a small tyke, looking up from his toy soldiers: can we really die??

NY: ...

NY: alright, not only did I not like how curious he was about that, but why are we in charge of him? Isn't he VA's charge?

MA: VA wants him somewhere safer -and yes I know how that sounds - and he's at that age where he only has one thing on his mind.

NJ: bedtime?

DE: So, what vexes all men?

MA: What indeed

RI: The sea?

NJ: Sums?

IN: in Indianna we’re not allowed to talk like that.

NJ: In New Jersey we encourage it.

Alfred: no comment, VA?

Alfred: *running wildly around in his best little suit, a tiny bean, and waving something in his hand*

NY: What’s that you’ve got there, Al?

Alfred: *delighted with his find and still running around* A knife!

NY: *thinking of all the clever little ways VA would murder him if she found out and running after Al* NO!

Alfred: Look y’all! I found a cat!

NY: Alfred, we are in the middle of occupied German territory. That is a German cat. It could be a spy. 

Alfred: It’s a cat, though.

NJ: Come on, Yorki, let the kid keep the cat. it’s almost Christmas, after all.

NY: I’m Jewish.

NJ: Let the boy be happy.

Alfred: what if the cat doesn’t celebrate Christmas? What if he’s a Communist?

NY: Alfred, why the hell do you think its a Communist?

Alfred: cause we’re in Europe, duh.

NY: Holy shit, just because we’re in Europe doesn’t make it a Communist, Alfred. Don’t be rude.

NJ: What do Communists even celebrate?

Alfred: Communion?

NJ: No, that’s for Catholics.
