“If I make pirate jokes he makes redneck jokes. It works.”

“Alright, I guess enjoy your tete-a-tete with a fourteen year old.”

“Don’t trust guys with eyepatches. They’re either pirates or crazy assholes.”

“Don’t let Carl hear you say that.”

“Oh.” Daryl frowned and looked down at his feet. “I don’t like it either. Doing all this. But I mean, I guess we have proof that these guys really are bad. We have the word of a whole group, and the guys I met. All ya had was one guy saying we were bad.”

“Yeah. You’re right. It’s different this time.”

“Hey I’m just trying to make the mood lighter. Sorry.”

“No. I mean. At the prison. Back then. I was ready to kill you then, kill everyone then. Or at least I thought I was. And this was different, but it kind of wasn’t. You know?”

“So, did ya have fun killing people?”

“I could’ve killed you, you know? I was. I was there. And so were you. And I saw you. Down the barrel of my gun. And I could’ve shot you.”

I mean if wine can do that pearls what the hell does it do to your teeth?” 

“I think it was wine,” Tara admitted. She was pretty damn sure when she was rifling through the jewelry store, but in the wake of this seemingly failed experiment, her confidence was waning. “Cola can dissolve teeth, right? And we drink that. Maybe it just takes a while.” Tara tried to picture Glenn in high school. She’d heard from Maggie that he used to be really into baseball caps, and he seemed like the type of kid with an elaborate collection of nerdy tee shirts. “Mostly I just got into a lot of fights in high school. Or I guess, for the sake of honesty, lost a lot of fights in high school.”

“Yeah, but isn’t there some sort of folksy, backwoods rhyme about that? Leaves of three or something?”

“Best friend I’ve ever had.  In high school my friends  actually taught me to hotwire cars just to mess with the jocks, and that’s why I even started stealing cars in the first place…” 

“Damn, and I thought I had some adventures.” Tara looked at the pearls sunk in the wine, frowned. “Nothing. You think it takes a while?”
