Tell me, Promenade. Tell me of your fathers. [By the way he shifts his weight and moves his body in the pause, he looks like he should have a cigarette in hand to make light-catching puffs of film noir smoke.] Tell me of the men who raised you and the men who didn't. The men who left, the men who molded and shaped and cut away at you and the men who were good fathers when they weren't intoxicated, just give him a chance.
I understand if you don't want to talk about it. [He waves a hand dismissively.] But you at least owe them a thought, don't you? [Hnnngh. He impressively doesn't drop the casual demeanor.]
[A smile, either twisted and not without humor. It's hard to tell.] They say every girl either has daddy issues or is lying. Interesting theory. Don't you think?
