I don't care much for the kids, the fence, or being in high town. However, the man with a stable nine to five shouldn't be too much to ask for. Extra points if he is charming.
[She sips at her drink. The tip she was going to leave this waiter quickly dropping down in price. Really now, finding someone to share the nights with wasn't that much to ask for, was it? It wasn't like she was going to find someone to take care of that sitting at home all the time either.]
I see you don't have your head completely in the clouds. That's good. [The semblance of a smile fades.] But take it from me, kid -- you gotta know when to cut your losses. Especially if you've got the shitty hand that most poor saps here are dealt. Gambling nets you 50-50 odds, but drag things out long enough and you don't get anywhere.
[It's sensible enough advice, but Rebecca spits it out with such bitterness.]
A little bit in the clouds I can handle, but no one else is going to take care of me so I won't let it get too lost in the clouds.
And I'd like to think I have a pretty fair hand dealt to me so far. I'm healthy, I have steady work, and a beautiful niece. I figure a little gambling won't hurt. So far I even go home even or a little bit ahead with a free drink and a free dinner. It's not so bad. I'll just gamble smart until I find the hand to go all in.
...suit yourself. The world'll keep turnin' even as we're all burnin'. [Jfc, Rebecca, would it kill you to show some semblance of goodwill to someone -- ] You gonna be having anything else or what?
