I heard history's written only by winners but I gotta hand it to the guys who made it today almost sixty fucking years ago.

Thank you for canning beer. Nobody loses.

Some kind of holiday in your world?

audio

[orangetoughguy]

It should be.

audio

[entangles]

What is it exactly?

audio

[orangetoughguy]

Beer in a can? It wasn't always like that you know?

audio

[entangles]

So it's one of those made-up holidays. Like Pi day.

I prefer bottles, personally.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

I'm lobbying to make it national.

audio

[entangles]

I think you'd be wasting your time. If you're serious.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

You're totally underestimating the power of the brewery states and every man who stands by his beer. Especially during the World Series and the Superbowl.

audio

[entangles]

And you're overestimating the government's willingness to waste their time with unnecessary crap.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

Because pardoning turkeys for Thanksgiving is way more important.

audio

[entangles]

Doesn't take a federal amendment to pardon a turkey.

[ You are taking this far too seriously, Olivia. ]

Of course, you might have a better chance with the deities.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

[He's getting that impression yep.]

No thanks. I don't talk to them.

audio

[entangles]

[ Things she isn't good at: taking jokes. ]

Why? They don't seem that scary.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

I don't need to mess up what I got. I like how I gotta live here just fine.

audio

[entangles]

Good for you. [...] I wouldn't think it'd be easy to land in another dimension and make a life of it.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

I didn't think so either a good year and a half ago.

audio

[entangles]

A year and a half? You've been here that long?

[ Kind of aghast. ]

audio

[orangetoughguy]

....Yeah. I know a few who've been here longer.

audio

[entangles]

[ There's a long pause here. ]

Great.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

Nobody's told you that? Easy to get in, hard to get out. There's a population of people born here cause their parents couldn't get out. That's what I've heard anyway.

audio

[entangles]

People have told me. I met a boy who was here for three years. You're just another piece of proof, a confirmation.

Who knows if time really stops.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

Why? You got unfinished business at home?

audio

[entangles]

Yeah, I do. And it's something that can't wait.

audio

[orangetoughguy]

What's going on? Some kind of national emergency?

audio

[entangles]

I'm really not at liberty to discuss it.
