[Bucky has been doing some reading. Quite a lot of reading, about New York, and how it;s changed over the years he's missed, what's gone on -- well, as much as he can manage. And he has noticed one very important thing, here. He fixes the comm with a very serious look, before asking:]

....So, who do I need to yell at for not tellin' me the Dodgers left Brooklyn? Los Angeles doesn't even have trolleys, why do they need a team called the Dodgers.

[A little mutter:] At least the Mets are around, so we don't have to root for the Yankees.

...Well, the one I grew up with was about as big around as a stick and asthmatic. And he couldn't talk to girls for anything. Still can't.

Okay, so maybe I wouldn't be coerced to buy war bonds from him if he couldn't come up to me and sell them.

[stacked]

Never had any complaints about mine.

[ awesome, faith. awesome. ]

voice;

[deadandred]

So can I assume you'd buy 'em from me?

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Probably. If you bought me dinner first.

voice;

[deadandred]

Ain't any war bonds here, but can I buy ya dinner sometime anyway? ...Or whatever there is around here, I guess.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

I'm not going to turn down food and company. As long as it's not canned peaches. I've had that every meal since I got here.

Welcome to the future, Buck. It sure ain't what we pictured, huh?

[ Video ]

[deadandred]

What's the world comin' to, the Dodgers ain't in Brooklyn and we're on a spaceship with dinosaurs. [But he's grinning.]

voice;

[deadandred]

It won't be, if I never have any more canned food, I'll be pretty happy, I think.

voice;

[deadandred]

Maybe so.

[deadandred]

Can't imagine why ya would.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Or C rations. Is that what you guys called it back then?

[ringbearer]

So you've also been away from home for some time. I am sorry. It seems many people come from wars here.

Would you mind telling me what a car is?

voice;

[deadandred]

It sure was. Canned meat is a helluva lot better than no meat, I guess.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Personally, I'll go for vegetarianism over canned meat, but that's just me.

[his dad used to tell him stories about New York, but he doesn't remember the city at all] Considering it doesn't exist anymore, some stupid team doesn't mean much.

Why not ask about how we can get off this ship before we're caught? [because he's half convinced this is some trap by Ultron and his robots are coming]

voice;

[deadandred]

....Why would you eat only vegetables if you don't have to? [....Yeah, this is a guy who grew up in the Great Depression. Sorry, Angela.]

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Anything is better than canned meat.

[deadandred]

It's alright, we were fighting for our freedom.

Uh. [He rubs the back of his neck for a moment.] A horseless carriage. Sort of a carriage with a motor on it.

video;

[deadandred]

Sure it does. Great American pastime and all.

[There's a bit of a blink.] Kid, I been here a month and I don't think there's anything to be caught by.

video;

[deadandred]

Definitely not, I dunno who'd repair it for me.

Well, see, if my best friend's around, you would think he would tell me these important things. [Because CLEARLY, this is a life-or-death matter.]

[ringbearer]

A carriage? Like a horse and cart? That isn't so strange..though that it moves on it's own like that. Surely it must be some sort of magic!

voice;

[deadandred]

Food is food.

voice;

[thenormalsquint]

Yeah, but there are just some things I won't eat. Like Spam. Spam is not food, no matter how much they want to convince me it is.

[Welcome to a child of the later years and privilege, Bucky.]
