watching from a nice, safe distance.

with our what. it was just . . . y’know. not like that.

IT WASN’T LIKE THAT.

WHAT WOMEN.

okay. this helps. uh. don’t bother him either.

please leave men alone even if they suck oh my god

you leave that poor doctor alone or so help me god. he’s busy.

HEY.

“yep. you and me both.”

“ . . . congrats, buddy! good try.”

“probably pretty damn stupid if he’s thinkin’ about it with you.”

nail clippers . . .

“and if i take my fuckin’ eyes off of you, you’re doin’ something stupid, so i’m sure you can’t blame me.”

i need action NOW i need to have more action than faulkner

“YOU THINK I’D LEAVE YOU BY YOURSELF? FREAK.”

i’m going to attack him

“what’s up?” she’s already expecting something less than pleasant.

god, i hope so.

i think it’s both of us, if that’s the case — ‘m sorry.

leave it to me to hit on a straight woman. it’s so over.

sorry i’ll leave

you’re ( RIGHT THERE. * ) you know i can’t tune jack shit out.

to treat you right . . .

i feel like a mother sometimes

i knew you’d go around and say some shit that causes me distress.

yeah. i did. you deserved it.

IF YOU ARE A WOMAN. GIVE ME A CHANCE. PLEASE.

women

i have a gun

hell yeah! i’m proud of ya. maybe soon you’ll be gettin’ scrap for a deal like this. [ she can’t help but to laugh at her own comment. ] and to think, you didn’t get sent on a stupidly dangerous job that requires me to go with you for chickadee duty for this!

what’d you do this time?

OH SHIT!!!! YOU’RE AN ANGEL.

/ also here’s a starter call i wanna write again

hm. i think i came by at a bad time.

bell, andy. either works. whatever’s easiest. clarissa, right? [ offering a toothy grin. ]

yes, ma’am. i’ll treat you. lookin’ forward to it.

i will be. want me to be waitin’ outside for you?

you want me to come around when it’s closed, then?

you uh, busy later? [ twirling her hair. ]

hey

i’m going to charge a million caps for my work actually

she definitely could. scratches are going to be the easy part, actually. gold works. she can always trade it for caps if she ever needs to. besides, with how gnarly the chest plate looks, she’d feel bad not to fix it over a lack of caps. he doesn’t owe her much.

oh, she can do that easy, does he need anything else fixed up?

she can, probably.

i’m so excited i can’t feel my body right now

/ i will do these tonight, i’ll be out of town today so i’ll pop in when i can

yearning for technicolor

i’m so overencumbered right now

/ also here’s a starter call i wanna write andy so bad

they should make chewing tobacco real again.
