So, who's Rihanna? And "Shy Ronnie"?

private to pink, open to white: You hear from him at all?

It kind of loses the entertainment value when you don't know who you're talking to.

[orangetoughguy]

Hey you never know, some of those guys sounded like they'd been in and out before. If she comes back next time I'll be prepared.

[It's a good idea to be prepared for other people coming back too.]

[adamantined]

How will you be prepared?

[And not just for Rihanna]

[orangetoughguy]

I'll pick up her records?

[Resisting.]

[adamantined]

You'd actually probably enjoy them.

[orangetoughguy]

What makes you say that?

[adamantined]

You posted about LL Cool J. It might not be the same vein of music, but I still have a feeling.

[orangetoughguy]

Well I'll give your hunch a little credit for that.

[adamantined]

Is that all I get? Credit?

[orangetoughguy]

What more do you want?

[adamantined]

What kind of a name is Toby Wong?

[orangetoughguy]

I think it's Chinese.

[adamantined]

Which is why it seems like kind of a weird name for the guy who came in and picked up that milkshake.

[orangetoughguy]

You think he thought you'd believe him?

[adamantined]

I didn't really know what to think. I still don't really know what to think.

He's not a good guy to know, Claire.

[Time for the hypocrisy game.]

I figured that much from the warning you gave. I just want to know why. What's this big secret?

[orangetoughguy]

I've seen him do some pretty terrible things okay.

[adamantined]

Just what is it that you guys do? What kind of job involves watching someone do terrible things? What did you do to -

private;

[orangetoughguy]

What he did had nothing to do with what we do. It ain't in my job description to watch scumbags pull repugnant shit.

[adamantined]

What do you do?

private;

[orangetoughguy]

Right now? I'm a grease monkey.

private;

[adamantined]

Right now you're just avoiding the question.

private;

[orangetoughguy]

Why do you need to know?

private;

[adamantined]

Because I want to. Because I rode to the hospital with you and helped you not bleed to death and the other day some guy who's enough of a threat that you have to patrol his conversations with people came into the place I work, and you won't even tell me your name. Explaining Rihanna and little Godzilla guy statues is cute and all, but you have to give me something that's real.
