People like to tell me I've got spunk. It's gotten me into heaps of trouble.
People like to tell me the same thing, but I've got a mouth.
Hey, if someone snaps at you it's only fair to snap right on back. But I imagine a mouth can get you into as much trouble as a bit of spunk can.
Around here? It's one or the other. If it's both I'd call that impressive, but that's just me and I don't cause trouble.

Don't get ideas, you gotta drive a truck over me to get any juice at all.
Thanks for the advice, but I think I'd much rather have you in the truck than under it, Mr. Orange.
Cool cause I'm just as good in the driver's seat as I am under the hood, Miss Pearl.
[ A light laugh. ] I hate to break it to you, but I've definitely heard that line before. But you don't work double shifts as a cigarette girl without hearing them all.

[ Aw he can't help but laugh either. ] It's no joke! I was taking wheels out for a spin since I was seven, maybe six.
You still doin' that?

Did you learn on your own or did somebody teach you?
[ A beat. ] Me, I don't do much of anything these days. Life's gone all topsy-turvy, which is why I'm thinking a change of scenery would be best.

My dad, my brother, and a little ingenuity.

Lux never struck me as a place to outclass anyone.
You don't like biting?
It can be very stimulating.

Uh.
I guess it depends, you know. Hard? Soft? Sharp teeth? No teeth?
