hey, lady -

are you talking to me, you smelly bum?

yes, ma’am. i was wondering -

oh now it’s ma’am, not hey lady. let me guess - you were wondering if i could help you out.

that’s it!

i am a mind reader. but i don’t help out smelly bums.

oh for god’s sake, con, why are you talking to this person?

no good can come of talking to people like this.

i am just so sick of it, and this character has bothered me before.

if debra was here she would give you a lecture on helping the unfortunate.

debra is not here, and i don’t need any lectures from her or from you.

while con and marcie and alex had been talking, the bum had moved off.

see, said alex. he is gone. nothing to get excited about.


next
