Can I talk to you?

Can you come and see me? I'm in 603.

[tucky]

No he wouldn't, but he would trust me, I think.

[characterdefect]

You should trust you more.

[tucky]

What do you mean?

[characterdefect]

You're smarter than you give yourself credit for, is what I mean.

[tucky]

Why do you think that?

[characterdefect]

Because I know you.

[tucky]

Well, I don't... I don't think I'm stupid or nothing. You don't got to worry about that.

[characterdefect]

Good. Because you're not. You're smart and you've got good instincts.

[tucky]

Then why've I made so many bad choices?

[characterdefect]

Because even smart people have to learn.

[tucky]

I have never been called smart. I been called dumb a lot.

[characterdefect]

Maybe you've known a lot of cruel, nasty people in your life.

[tucky]

But not here.

[characterdefect]

That's why here's a good place for you.

[tucky]

Mm. There's people who are nasty here sometimes, but there's more people who are kind.

[characterdefect]

You still think I'm kind?

[tucky]

... Yeah. Sometimes. And sometimes you're cruel.

[characterdefect]

Yeah. That sounds like me.

It sounds like most people, to be honest.

[tucky]

Dillon said something to me when I first got here. He said I was mean and vindictive and dangerous, but I was sweet too, and I wanted to be someone better.

[characterdefect]

That's the difference between you and me. I don't want to be someone better.

[tucky]

But you'd be really good at it.

[characterdefect]

I like who I am, though.

[tucky]

You could still be the same person. Just the same person who doesn't kill people.

[characterdefect]

But that's part of who I am.

[tucky]

Maybe it's not. Maybe it's just something you do.
