Hey, how've you been? Have you talked to Maureen yet? How was your night? No one tried to hurt you, did they? Sorry, sorry. I'll stop badgering you with questions. I've just been worried about you, that's all. Why? Well, you're new. We never get new people, and you're young too and good looking. Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything, but young and good looking and innocent people don't take too kindly in this world. Especially down here where there's nowhere to run.
Anyway, after that depressing thought, would you like to accompany me to lunch? Oh, you can't? Why not? Bunker 6, huh? Well, I can escort you down if you want. Oh that's okay, is it? No, no, I get it. Didn't mean to step on your toes.
So have you talked to anyone yet? Marcel, huh? How old is he now, 12, 13? Oh 15? How did you know his birthday was next week? Oh he told you, did he? Well, you guys got to know each other fast, what else did you guys talk about? Stuff? Well, if I wanted that much detail I would have asked, thanks. You know what? I have work to do. Yeah, a shit load.
Oh, sorry, did I offend you? We wouldn't want that to happen now would we? You really should go, I have to finish this and you have to talk to Brian, and you'll probably stop and to chat with Marcel on the way, won't you? What's my problem? What's your problem? You just got here and you're already prancing around like a princess, talking to whoever you want and going wherever you please. You know what? I don't care. Go to Science class because I think you need a lesson in Chemistry. Some things just don't mix, and if you don't figure out what doesn't, you'll end up with a mess that needs cleaning up. Now scram, I have work to do.
