I don't think you want to listen to - oh - twenty-three years worth of bullshit.
[ Murphy isn't being all that dramatic. It definitely sounds like it but this boy has been put through the shitter and probably should have died a few times over. re: cockroach. ]
Actually one-hundred and twenty-three. I almost forgot about the whole cryosleep thing.
[ despite his flat tone he is very much interested, and would absolutely listen to all of that honestly. it's his jam on toast. ]
Even without factoring that in, I've had twice as much bullshit as you. [ in time, he means, he's not making a value judgment without knowing the facts. but every single person you ever knew being slaughtered in front of you is pretty high stakes. ] From what I gather, there's not much to do here except get to know one another. When we're not "tripping balls," that is.
[ Murphy pauses, considering what to say next. It could be true, he could have dealt with twice as much shit as Murphy. Most of Murphy's life consisted of death, betrayal, torture, sexual assault and being the scapegoat to everyone else's problems. ]
Maybe. [ That's all Murphy has to say about that. ]
Hello, my name is Murphy. Some people call me a cockroach because it's pretty damn hard to kill me.
[ Calm down, Murphy. It's not like Emori could be at two places at once. But, then again, this place wasn't exactly normal. He tries really hard not to sound accusatory. ]
Okay, Frank. You both got wasted. [ Murphy's trying to find an eloquent way of asking if they fucked or not. Does he really want to ask? No. Yes. Maybe. Yes. ]

There are those offenders who slip through the cracks of the justice system. That's where I come in.
no subject
Shit? Really? Where the hell were you when I needed some justice.
no subject
Probably long dead if you're from the same place as Emori.
no subject
Yeah. We're from the same place. Not much justice going around then. Not for me, anyway.

[ he's got jokes on jokes on jokes, even if no one will ever notice he's joking. his tone and inflection doesn't change at all. ]
Cockroach, I'm the Punisher. [ obviously. ]
no subject
Do you honestly want to go by the Punisher? You sound like a wrestler.
no subject
[ he takes a beat to mull it over. he's not exactly opposed to that image, but he also doesn't mind since he already is fond of emori. ]
Your girlfriend calls me Fronk, which she tells me is Grounder for 'Frank.'

[ You said Emori is his girlfriend. He's cheesin' it. ]
Hey, Frank.

How exactly do you know Emori? You weren't - like - in the forest with her, right?

The forest intoxicated us somehow. There goes my recovery.
[ he's trying to get back on the wagon, but then he had a fake wife who was really into making wine... whatever, it was weird. ]
I thought we already commiserated about this.
[ who rehashes feelings? not this guy. ]
