Uh, sorry? Like when what?

When can't it be helped? Like, in what situations?

Uh... That can be difficult to sum up.

I mean I don't typically cause an explosion just to blow things up, there's usually a lot of confounding factors.

You ain't the kind to do it for fun?

[ Steve laughs. ]

I think it depends on what you consider fun and who you talk to.

Sometimes you have to test something to make sure when you do it out in the field it's going to go as you expect. I consider that fun. But one time I used a grenade to blow the locked door in a pawn shop. I didn't do that for fun, the pawn shop owner refused to open it and I needed to get to the other side quickly.

[ He pauses a moment. ] The person I was with... well he didn't agree with my method. But it served the purpose. I knew the grenade was only going to blow the door and make a mess, the building stayed standing and no one was hurt.

Are you police?

[ Steve's quiet a moment. ]

No.

[ Technically he isn't. It's not a lie. ]

... You don't have to talk about it. I was just wondering.

I like you no matter what you are or what you do.

Thank you.

I'm not ashamed of who I was or what I did... It's more the other way around if you know what I mean.

[ And in all honesty he's still worried about the repercussions of who he was getting to be too public of knowledge. Not that he thinks it will change Tiffany's mind about him, or that he can't trust her to know without saying, but the less people who know, the less he needs to worry about. ]

So they're ashamed of you?

... I'm sorry, Steve.

They would be if they knew I was here as what I am. I would have been too... Can't say that I'm not now...

But, I've been told once I get a permanent warden we can figure this shit out. So, there's that.

Why do you have to wait? You can figure shit out whenever you want.

Oh yeah? You know how to get to my file?

You could ask for it, I guess. Or get somebody else to.

But it's your life, right? You know your own past.

[Then something occurs to her.]

... Shit, don't you? You don't have amnesia, right?

No, I don't have amnesia. I know my past but I didn't think that would have gotten me here.

It's... Not all that cut and dry I guess.

Quentin asked for me, he was denied. He figured once I got a permanent warden the file would be released and I could get an idea what the issue is.

So, I wait. I don't know, maybe I'm here to work on my patience.

I don't think your file's gonna tell you anything you don't know. But they ain't all written the same; I noticed that. So maybe I'm wrong.

You ever seen anybody else's file?

No, I haven't.

I was under the impression it would at least say what I'm here for - either by supposed crime or by situation.

For me it just listed stuff out. I never read a file that said why - it just said stuff that happened.

I hope yours is different, if that's what you want.

With any luck I can figure out the why from what's listed, if that's what there is.

Frankly I don't think it's about what I want.

... Do you wanna look at mine? So you can have, like, an example.

I... I appreciate the offer but I'd think a file is a private thing. I wouldn't want to intrude on your privacy like that.

You ain't worried about a warden reading yours?

Actually, I am. A lot of my past is... ~~confidential~~ sensitive. But it's out of my hands.

Maybe you'll get somebody who won't read it.

Maybe. Does that happen? A warden not reading the file of their inmate?
