XSal: You all right?
Ana: Am I supposed to be? Sal, remember when we joined the Army, and they gave us that speech about tolerance and bein' the new generation and how we were gonna change the world together? How goddamn young and stupid
were we, that we believed that?
Sal: Sixteen, and pretty stupid, I guess. ... Ana, if you want to move back to the Wharves....
Ana: The
Wharves? When I have cangrejo friends? They got
words for Sunlanders like me down on the Wharves.
Sal: I'm sorry --
Ana: If I wanted your pity I'd beat it out of you, idiot. I'm an outcast to my own and an outsider to everybody else. I ain't crying over good choices. But don't
ask me if I'm 'all right'.
Sal: Au temps por moi (
My mistake). I meant to say, will you snap and kill us all
today?
Ana: Depends. The neighbors get rid of that dam' yappy dog yet?
