Voice

[Jimmy's voice sounds somewhat subdued today, not quite as full of confidence -- however false that confidence may occasionally be -- and not particularly energetic as he addresses the network.]

Got a question for ya, since I ain't got anythin' better to do. Anyone can answer it.

[There's a pause for a moment, and then he starts speaking again.]

Any of you here got kids? Probably not in the City, but back home, I mean. Just curious.

Do you?

Missing your own?

If you ask them about home, they'll always come answer.

I got a son.

You could say that.

Certainly seems to be the case. Everyone's eager to share what they're missin'.

Do you?

[ Whether or not he does is beyond the matter. ]

Are you alright?

They want to go home.

[It keeps the feeling fresh.]

You could always adopt here. To temporarily fill in the empty space.

[ Ugh. Karl. It's a child. Not a pet. ]

Are you okay, Jimmy?

Yeah, I do. I got a son.

More or less. Thinkin' about my kid.

I wouldn't mind goin' home either.

You think there're many kids runnin' around here in need of some temporarily parents?

Been better. Just got to thinkin'...

I see [ prey on ] a fair few, actually.

The City brings kids here too?

M'sorry to hear. You've got family back home, yeah?

Yeah, I got a son. He's four.

All the time. [ Whiny little brats. Only good as dinner. ] Most without parents. Or any type of guardianship. It's practically a buffet.

Four? Oh that's quite the age. What's his name?

A buffet?

Tommy. He was born when I was in the military.

You can pick whoever you like.

[ He's being helpful, okay? ]
