Take it like a man.

[Some rustling noises.]

Who taught you how to talk like that? [No judgment, just curiosity.]

[neverplay]

TV, movies. Dad and I always used to talk this way.

[orangetoughguy]

Your dad? Bullshit, I mean my dad was pretty relaxed but 'cunt'? No way.

[neverplay]

You're old, remember.

[orangetoughguy]

The 70s were way more fucked up than the 90s.

[neverplay]

Why? 'cause they did a ton of drugs and listened to crappy music? Hasn't changed much.

[orangetoughguy]

Nope, cause they showed tits, ass, and murder on regular TV.

[neverplay]

That's why we have Netflix.

Dad was the coolest. Sure, he taught me manners, but he never sweats the small stuff. Bad language? That wasn't important.

[orangetoughguy]

The hell's Netflix?

What else did your dad teach you.

[neverplay]

Ever heard of Blockbuster?

How to open any door? The meaning of life? I don't know, lots of things.

[orangetoughguy]

[If shrugs had sounds....]

My dad got me comics.

[neverplay]

My dad draws comics.

[orangetoughguy]

[HOLD THE PHONE.]

Really? Like what?

HAHAHA

[neverplay]

Probably nothing you've heard of.

no regrets

[orangetoughguy]

You might be heaps younger than me but your dad and I are probably the same age. Try me.

[neverplay]

You've never heard of it 'cause he's never been published. It's a hobby, but trust me, he's really fucking good at it.

[orangetoughguy]

Did he ever draw you?

[neverplay]

He used me as a model, yeah.

[orangetoughguy]

That's pretty badass, kid.

[neverplay]

Hell yeah.

Not many people can say they've been a superhero. He always did it right too. The fighting. The weapons.

[orangetoughguy]

What, did you research and consult for your old man?

[neverplay]

Me? Nah, he taught me everything I know.

He used to be a cop. Knew his stuff and more.

[orangetoughguy]

A cop huh? Taught you everything he knew too?

[neverplay]

Not everything. He wouldn't let me touch his weapons, obviously. But he told me all about them and shared old stories, not the boring kind.

[orangetoughguy]

Your dad sounds like a pretty cool guy. My dad fixes cars.
