"Well this is a nice change of scenery."
"It's a prison cell."
"I was being sarcastic."
"No kidding."
"I'm sorry, who are you again?"
"I could ask the same question."
"Fine, let's start over. My name is Zeke. Zeke Parsons."
"I'm not going to shake your hand, so might as well drop it."

"Almost... nah. It can't be."
"What? Please, do enlighten me."
"You just, I don't know, reminded me of someone I knew."

"Wish what?"
"It's nothing."
"No, tell me."
"Sucker for suspense, aren't you?"
"The unknown is kind of what I'm about."
(wry chuckle) "Yeah, you definitely remind me of her."

"O-kaay. So um, how long you been here?"
"Two years."
"W-wow. I... did not expect that."
"Mm." (shrug)
"What did you do?"
"What did you do?"
"Are just going to respond to my questions with more questions?'
"Pretty much."
"Well, recently? I uh, shot the president."
