Alright--sodding hell--let me just get this straight.

I can give you some coins so you can buy cigarettes.

[notthemodel]

I'd say I was already covered for the money but I'm just going to guess, since I'm really fuck all lucky today, that there's a new currency in this city too?

[not_so_smooth]

Yup. All these weird, different colored coins.

[notthemodel]

Great.

Any way I can trade in?

[not_so_smooth]

Not really, no. But I don't mind giving you some money so you can at least get your cigarettes. Like you need to be without those on top of everything else.

[notthemodel]

Thoughtful, aren't you?

I really hate owing people though, there anything I can do for you? Dunno, I can't really do much though, need a literary thesis on Hamlet? Shakespeare?

[not_so_smooth]

I'm like Mother Teresa. Only I don't live in Calcutta or work with orphans. I'm also not a little old lady.

You can just owe me the 2 oranges a pack of smokes will cost. I'm pretty much good to go in the literary thesis department.

[notthemodel]

So that makes you not very much like Mother Teresa at all, doesn't it?

Right then, two oranges. I'm Naomi, by the way. Figure you'll need a name to keep tabs on the money.

[not_so_smooth]

Ummm, both Mother Teresa and I are dead?

Sam Witwicky. And you're the one that didn't want to owe me, I'm happy to forget about it, but it's nice to know your name just so that, you know, I know your name and don't have to call you Cigarette Girl. Not that I would call you that or that cigarettes define who you are. I'd probably go with Thesis Girl. Yeah.

Needle in a haystack is fuck all to go by though. Might as well call me Gandhi then just cause we both think violence is a pure waste of time.

And yeah, let's just stick with the name my blessed little hippy mum gave me. You're not all that witty with the nicknames.

[not_so_smooth]

Well, I don't have a lot to go on. You smoke, are either really into literature or just good at writing papers on it, and you don't like owing people. Oh, and now I know your mom is a hippie, but "your mom is a hippie" is a really bad nickname. "Thesis girl" is too, huh? Way too long.

[notthemodel]

Nicer than some of the nicknames people I know come up with.

I'll take "thesis girl" over "muff muncher" any day, although the first one doesn't make as much room for as many amusing comebacks as the second does.

[not_so_smooth]

I am not even going to touch "muff muncher".

[notthemodel]

Then why, look at that, there's a tiny thread of hope that we might get along.

[not_so_smooth]

Just a thread? Not even string or fishing line or anything like that?

[notthemodel]

Be happy with what you've got, I don't usually have a lot of threads for people.

Mostly because my faith in humanity dwindles everytime I meet a dumb twat but it cant be helped, not in highschool anyways.
