Pretty sure I can talk to you however I want, grandpa.

Yeah, guess what? When you go back - excuse me, if you go back? You won't remember this. These places won't let you. And even if you did? They'd beat you anyway. We kind of got a wide losing streak to keep up, if we want to talk our luck.

[Pokey just grimaces. And then?

He's moving forward again. Not quick, not eager, and not daring to try touching the bed again. But still so Porky can see him as he speaks.]


You're right. The world is sucky, crappy place with a bunch of jerks running around doing whatever they want. But it's...

[God. He can't believe he's going to say this. And mean it.]

But it's full of people just as scared as you, and who feel pain like you do and who...I dunno. Who care about you. Even though they shouldn't. It doesn't make sense, but they do.

...When was the last time you even touched another person, let alone talked with them? I mean have you ever even spoken with a person before? God knows you spoke at Ness a lot, but did you even really care? I mean have you ever just...hung out with somebody, or spent a day with a girl you liked?

Have you ever even liked a person that way before?

Or are you just...you, I guess. Stuck in a friggin' refrigerator and staring stupid at everything in front of him?
