Alexis was just about one of the few people Billy really spent time with lately, and even found himself trudging through the snow to visit. The snow wasn't so bad, when he reminded himself to enjoy it -- in New York, most snow was dirty sludge before he even made it to the sidewalk.

"I don't even think I've even seen a fuckin' moose before, much less had one starin' at me," Chris says, and the moose snorts. Chris wonders whether or not it means 'cheers', 'fuck off' or if it's just something moose do because they're moose.

Fuck if Chris knows.
