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?
