Hey, John Doe. I've got an annoying bird attached to me. You can buy me that drink tomorrow.

She's demanding.

Oh, for Christ's sake. I've HAD it. Why the hell is this thing back? It completely ruined my coat last time and -

Is she always this loud? I don't remember her being this loud. She's just upset because of that gu -Will you SHUT UP? I'm

John Doe, huh? That's not one I've heard before.

You really passing me over to spend the day with a bird?

[glock30]

What can I say? I'm creative.

Does it sound like I'm interested in passing up a drink to spend the day with a bird? I'm not interested in getting feathers in my glass.

[notagangster]

Could be worse.

So your soul's a bird. Let me guess, it's something in the sparrowhawk category?

[glock30]

You're actually right. I could've named you Jane Doe.

It's a fucking magpie.

[notagangster]

Well, I'm certainly happy to prove you'd have been wrong in that assumption.

Really. A magpie. Interesting bird, that.

[glock30]

You can't prove shit without a name to back your claim.

What, do you have magpie experience?

[notagangster]

Since when does a chap need a name to prove he's a man?

Not a damn bit. Just trying to keep on your good side's all.

[glock30]

Since the beginning of time.

Easier said than done. I thought we'd already established that my bar's set way higher than most people can reach.

[notagangster]

Lucky me, now I've got one. That'd be John with an 'H', right? Because I don't think I'm the 'Jon' type at all.

I'm not most people, though. Think we might have established that, too.

[glock30]

I already know a John with an H. What about Rick?

Must've slipped my mind.

Lots of things slip her mind, man.

See what I mean about the goddamn bird?

[notagangster]

Rick Doe? I dunno, just doesn't have quite the same flow to it.

The bird refuse to tell you his name too?

[glock30]

It doesn't have to be Doe. It could be something else. Why are you concerned with aesthetics anyway?

Of course not. It reminds me twenty goddamn times a day.

[notagangster]

What makes you think I'm the sort of fellow doesn't care about aesthetics?

Well, what's the poor brute's name then?

[glock30]

Most of the men I've known never have.

Maggie. I think he's got a complex about it.

[notagangster]

Could just be that most men aren't into the same shit women are into.

I'd have a complex myself if my name were Maggie.

...

Fuck.

[glock30]

Are you saying that you're into the same shit women are into?

You did that on purpose.
