[This is an audio click--SMACK!!] What the fuck was that for-- [SMACK!!]

Take it like a man.

[Some rustling noises.]

Motherfucker I'm trying to...shit it's on.

[Actually spoken into the device.] Everything's cool. Pink's a son of a bitch.

[Then a click off.]

You got a point there but you know I bet you didn't pick Claire.

audio ][

[adamantined]

I'd ask about it, but I've got a pretty good idea about what kind of answer I'm gonna get.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

I'm listening.

audio ][

[adamantined]

audio ][

[adamantined]

Alright. You obviously didn't pick Orange. Who gave it to you?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

Somebody who never told me why I'm Orange.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Why would you need someone to give you a nickname anyway, even if you never got the reason for being Orange.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

Let's not talk about it.

audio ][

[adamantined]

And once again I don't even know why I bother wasting my time.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

You're a pretty cool girl, Claire, but me and the guys bein' safe's a lot more important than tipping trust scales with you.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Didn't it used to be about keeping other people safe?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

Yeah, still is. It ain't all black and white, you've gone through crayon boxes you oughta know.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Well at least none of my opinions have been shaken. Thanks for the reassurance.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

You get'em from strange places.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Right now they're worth about as much as a crayon.

What are you doing, anyway?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

I dunno who told you that but don't let'em make you believe it.

I had to check up on the guy.

audio ][

[adamantined]

I saw he was in the hospital. Complaining about the food. Is that where you were checking up on him?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass.

audio ][

[adamantined]

What happened?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

He got shot.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Getting shot doesn't exactly feel good. Was it bad?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

It coulda been but it wasn't.

audio ][

[adamantined]

What happened?

audio ][ private (eyes are watching you)

[orangetoughguy]

Shot in the belly.

It was my fault.

audio ][ private (eyes are watching you)

[adamantined]

[Claire's end of the line presents with a long stretch of silence, because she wasn't expecting an answer.]

The kind of 'my fault' where you were in trouble or the kind of 'my fault' where you dropped a loaded firearm?
