[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.

I'm surprised the Mets are still around, actually, but I'm not really a baseball fan.

Are they that bad?

As far as I know, it seems so. I think they're the type of guys who do great halfway through the season and then just completely forget what to do for the rest of it.

I'm gonna have to take your word on that, ma'am, I haven't seen a proper game in a real long time.

Oh please, stop with the ma'am. Every time somebody pulls that on me here, I age another year.

...Sorry, force of habit.

You could have worse habits, but call me Angela.

Alright, Angela. I'm Bucky.

Pleased to meet you, Bucky. Been here long? Or longer than me, I suppose.

About a month now, I guess? It's certainly something.

I was never prepared for space. I doubt any of us were. Except Kaylee.

[Because that Kaylee chick Angela met sounds spacey enough.]

I never even thought we could get to space, til I ended up here.

I'm guessing you're from way before the first man on the moon.

I'm from 1945.

And that is why you're pissed about the Dodgers.

Exactly. Gold star for the lady.

Would it help if I said that I don't think they're doing too awesome in LA now? I mean, as far as I know, the Yankees keep winning everything so it's not like the move helped any.

...Maybe a little, but it still won't bring 'em back to Brooklyn.

Nothing will. I'm sorry to break it to you like this, sweetie.

Sweetie? Aw shucks, doll, you'll make me blush.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

[Angela, you just got here. Stop flirting.]

I like to think I'm not that much like my big brother that I get flustered around ladies. [Not that Steve's blood-related, but.]

Flustering can be adorable though. In small amounts.

[Not all families have to be blood.]

Maybe. Not when you've barely even kissed a dame by the time you're 25. [All of that is said with great fondness, though.]

That's Steve, though. Or it was before he, uh. Grew.

Twenty-five? [Talk about a late bloomer.] ...Grew?

[Now she is thinking about body parts of Steve that no one should be thinking about... at least not in the presence of his bro.]
