( 03 ) video ✵ i got six friends and they all know your name

So, look, I get everybody's all jazzed about that list or whatever, and people wanna do the mourning thing. All good, have at it.

What I'm wondering though, is what we got working to find out who helped the dead dude get that way. Still pretty new around here so I don't know what you got rigged up already, but where I'm from something like this happens we mount up before there's a dead guy number two.

[ so that was... kind of a job application. if you tilt your head and squint. and to seal the deal. ]

Wouldn't mind helping out.

--yeah, because I got any of that. Wanna English that one up for me?

That was English. [ Here we go again. ]

Yeah, I got that part. Doesn't mean I got what you meant.

[ There's a pause as he tries to simplify it. ]

I know if you get those three letters tattooed with your numbers, it's going to be difficult to get people to trust you when it comes to stuff.

I look like the kind of chick people go ahead and trust to you, anyway?

No.

But you look smarter than a lot of the buffoons running security.

...never heard that one before.

[ sadly she's being serious not that she has any issues with constantly affirming she's dumb or anything. ]

[ Brendan, however, takes it differently: ]

Never heard what? There a lingo problem?

Nah, that I look smarter than anybody.

I find that hard to believe.

Bullshit. Cute, but bullshit.

[ no seriously she... thinks that this is a line. self esteem issues, what what. ]

Alright, your call if you don't want to believe me, but you're no sap and based on this alone, I'd drop a dime on you.

Starting to wonder if this is what Wes feels like, talking to me.

[ you're weird, kid, but she kind of likes you. ]

Who?

...just this guy I know. Brit, used to like to say I'm not speaking English.

Huh.

I'm speaking English, though.

Yeah, so was I.

[ A beat, and ten rather morosely: ] It'd be nice if other people could understand it.

Preaching to the choir, kid. [ a beat. ] So, where'd you pick up talking like that?

Not Kid. Brendan.

[ And, because she asked... He shrugs. ]

Everyone talks like this. It's just the way we bump gums, I guess.

Whatever.

[ she'll find a better nickname; until then, kid. sorry, brendan. ]

What, like everybody everybody or just the crowd you run with?

Pretty sure my vice principal isn't part of the 'crowd I run with,' so yeah. Everybody.

[ a shrug. ]

Sounds like Hollywood to me.

[ ...and she does believe she just found her nickname. ]

Nah, I don't live near the silver screen. San Clemente.

Whatever you say, Hollywood.
