"World you come from, I'm sure learnin' all that stuff was important. You enlist here, though, an' I'm gonna be a mess worryin' 'bout them shippin' you off somewhere." Just so she knew.

"Two, I'm buyin' lunch, but you could at least get the lady's attention for me, 'cause I'm not sure where she went. An' three, I'm already done with my shift." Mostly. "S'you who's gotta go back protectin' an' servin'. All I need to do is sign your paper thing, an' I can do that drunk, easy".
