H-hey there...oh...oh gosh...
[He takes a deep breath, closing his eyes and trying to count to ten; his whole body is trembling.]
U-uhm...h-hey there. My name's Johnny. Johnny Cade, that is...
[He swallows hard.]
I'm from...uh...T-tulsa. Oklahoma, and...well, your admiral here told me that I could be a warden...get a sort of...second chance I guess...
I know...I know that I don't look like much, b-but...
[Oh geez. If there was anyone who wasn't cut out for public speaking...]
Well, I know I don't look like much, but I said I'd work as a warden, and well...I intend to!
[He lifts his chin up, narrowing his eyes a bit and trying to look tough. And it works!...at least, at first it does...but...it isn't long until that nauseated expression is back on his face and he's avoiding any sort of eye contact with his communication device...]
M'just a little shaken up. That's all...
