☂ 21; seven boys and girls are we

Nobody play hero.

I mean it. I don't care if you have a hero complex the size of your head, but if you're smart, then you'll be staying inside. That being said, if anybody needs any help, you're free to contact me. Ring me up, knock me up, I don't care. I'll help. What's that overwrought saying? It's times like these that we need to pull together

You can't eat them if they're rotten.

...You could throw them in Russia's still. It's not like he'll notice the taste.

[is_an_island]

... Well, that's true enough.

I thought you liked the brute.

[snapshot_brat]

Of course I do!

I'm trying to get him free vodka ingredients right this minute, aren't I?

[is_an_island]

Is he still drinking at a time like this?

[snapshot_brat]

Of course he is. I don't know what set him off but he's taking something about all this really badly.

...You'd better not pick on him.

[is_an_island]

Why not?

It's a perfectly good opportunity, and I can't pass up a good chance.

[snapshot_brat]

Because I'll kick you if you do.

[is_an_island]

You'll honestly come over all the streets and all through those men in suits just to kick me in the shin?

[snapshot_brat]

...Yes.

And I'll kick you twice, too. So you'd better not.

[is_an_island]

Twice on one shin or once on both shins?

It's an honest inquiry.

[snapshot_brat]

...I'll make it two on both. Maybe three if you really deserve it.

[is_an_island]

Ah, the kicks seemed to have multiplied in the middle of our conversation.

[snapshot_brat]

You keep saying things that make me want to kick you, that's why.

[is_an_island]

You've said worse things about Russia than I have.

[snapshot_brat]

I'm family. It's allowed.

[is_an_island]

I'm not above kicking you back.
