"Are you coming?"
Jan just picked Rani up at the train station.
"And Kamal?"
Almost out of the shower. I booked him on a shuttle to the west coast tonight.
"Hah, you should totally tell him about who's waiting at his house!"
Hm, it'll be funnier this way.
"You know, since you got yourself put back together, you've got even more of a sense of humour."
That's a good thing, isn't it?
"Eh, jury's still out on that."
Everybody likes surprises!
"Yeah... uh, speaking of surprises, that first day after Chawla, you know when you were still pretty loopy..."
I prefer disoriented.
"Durga, I went down to the recruitment office. I signed up."
Dammit...
"What about the common good, Durga?"
Why should you be a soldier? There are lots of other guys who could be soldiers - they'd like it! The navy doesn't need you.
"That's not the point. The point is, they still need everyone they can get."
And frankly - don't take this the wrong way, Jersey - you'd make a terrible soldier!
"Yeah, maybe. But I've got to at least try. It's what Rani said, back there - everyone's a soldier now. I've got to do it."
I don't think so.
"Durga, if I don't do this, some other kid is going to die in my place."
Jersey! Not yet. Please, just a few more weeks? I don't - even know how much time I have before I -
"I've got a couple of weeks before I'm off to basic, it's okay, it's not like I'm off tomorrow.."
That might not be enough!
"Whoa, why're you getting so stressed? You don't think you're gonna go rampant in a hurry, do ya?"
It doesn't mean I'm going rampant!
"What does it mean then?"
It means I care. It means, I take care of my crew.
