I been thinking. I thought it was cool how the Enclosure got programmed the way it did for Bucky's party, so I was wondering if I could do that, too-- not for a party, but for a fireworks show. I don't know if any of the people here have ever been to one, but where I come from, they're real popular in the summer. You go to a big empty field at night, sit on blankets, and just... watch. Maybe bring out a keg of beer or something, I don't know. You think the Enclosure could do that?
I wanted to do it on my birthday, if things are all calmed down. Sometimes these shows can get crazy and loud with people dancing and partying, but I know I ain't in a raucous mood, and I bet I'm not the only one. So maybe a quiet one would be good right now. Something relaxing.
It'd be nice, I think.

Merlin's better. He-- it's real complicated, but he didn't mean that stuff he said. I know that nothing was making him say it, but he had those parasites in him that had him thinking it was the best thing to do, and... he regrets it. He changed his mind.
[She sounds relieved, if just a tiny bit wary. She wasn't affected by the Sha herself, and she still isn't 100% clear on what exactly it was or how it worked-- so while she's ever-trusting and wants to give her warden the benefit of the doubt, it's going to take her a week or so of him being normal for her to fully believe that he really is staying, and he really does want her as his inmate.]
I ain't mad at him. Y'all don't have to be either.
[Mason and Simon, she's looking at you.]

[Tiffany nods sagely.]
Yeah, I do that. Did that. I don't know.
... What's Kentucky like? I never been.

[He took a swallow of bourbon and thought for a moment, smirking a little.]
Kentucky is a place where the people are very polite. It's known for horses, bourbon, basketball and southern hospitality. The grass is blue, the horses run fast, and the chicken comes fried. We do not sleep with our cousins, most of us have teeth and even wear shoes on occasion.

[Just. Making that clear from the get-go.]
That don't sound very much like Pennsylvania, I have to say.

[He snorted a little.] This ain't the way I pictured myself gettin' out.
[spam]
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I never wanted to leave, though. I never thought about it.

Did you have a job when you were home?

And now you know the highlights of my life story. [...Some of them. The bourbon's making him chatty, apparently.]
[spam]
I knew some soldiers. A couple miners too, but no one from my generation.
[Suddenly she laughs.]
Knew some tax-dodgers, too. You really would've fit in well where I come from.
... I don't know if you want my life story. It's... not as long.
[spam]
You wanna tell it, I'm listenin'.
[spam]
[She finishes off her whiskey, then orders up another one before she starts.]
I was born, and then I went to school, and then I started doing drugs so I stopped going to school, and then I got arrested and found God and went to prison.
Not really that interesting.

[She told Merlin months ago. She kind of told Anthony a few days ago, but she was pretty drunk when she did it. But right now she is neither very drunk nor talking to her warden, and so she considers just telling him that it's none of his business.
But then she doesn't.]
... You could say I got into some trouble at a women's health clinic.

And then suddenly, here you are? Nothin' in between that?

[And she drinks to that.]
