[White crushes his cigarette in the ash tray. For a moment he looks at the slim man, incredulous. But hitting the right kind of people, you never know.]
There are ways of getting a bigger pay off. I'm just surprised. You're a fucking professional.
[Out comes the middle finger just for Pink. Look Orange can do it with the same hand holding his cigarette before taking a pull too. Now that's skill.]
Evening, I probably have work to do.
[He looks between the two but mostly at White, Larry. Does the old guy want to spend the entire day at the titty bar? Now that Freddy minds, just curious.]
Good then. I don't foresee it being crowded. Though hard to tell. I know there's a fat lot of Orientals. I don't think it's there day.
[Beer gone on his end? Alright. More Samuel Adams. No, he doesn't want to spend the whole day there. Though it wouldn't hurt to be open to options. Who turns down a titty bar? A faggot that's who.
Anyway though, a new beer in hand everything is rolling smoothly.]
You know the money you tuck into a pair of panties is a girl's tip, right?
[He ain't trying to talk Pink out of it or anything, just being a jerk. As for Chinese New Year...he looks at White.]
That ain't til the end of January [In case anyone wanted to know, at least for 93. He won't say it's going to be the year of the cock--er...rooster.] You know they ain't all Chinese, right?
Lemme get this straight, tipping a woman who dances is acceptable whereas a waitress it's not worth it.
[And who can forget the original spin. Larry can't. That was the talk they had all together before everything turned to a flaming ball of bullshit. Let's keep everything in perspective though, right? Look who is here. Look who is alive.]
I'm sure not all of em are Chinese. I dunno what Japanese celebrate or I dunno, other types. There are always plenty of Chinese though.
Walk into a yakuza bar and say that, lemme know if you get to walk out or gotta crawl out.
[He says this to Pink casually before turning to White again. Yeah it is a lot like the morning before everything went to hell, but if everything hadn't gone to hell well...Freddy tries not to think about that often.]
It's an excuse for fireworks and red packets. [He'll concede that.]
What more do you want when clearly they put themselves out there? They're not gonna suck your dick for nothing.
[Seriously, look at him? The old man shakes his head and chugs more beer. Women and Asians. What the hell.]
Unless they start talking, I have a hard time telling one from the other. You can't be right every time. Hell, I think they believe all white folk are the same.
[Yes, Freddy thinks that makes him an authority on Asians, at least compared to these two guys and don't kid yourself, Pink. Freddy can tell when people aren't originally from the area, whether it's because they like the Brewers or because they just don't talk like Californians. Time for a second cigarette and a second beer.]
Unless you got some kind of Highlander or Viking in you within the last hundred years we kind of are the same. Fucking Americans.
