i was really hoping that was some kind of barmy hallucination with you taking my ciggies last night.

imagine my surprise when i woke up this morning.

[castle]

might have still had them if you weren't an asshole who smoked them indoors

[oldhound]

i was bladdered, mate. you could've just said something.

do you still have them?

[castle]

if that means stupidly wasted
then yeah that's what you were

and i don't need to say anything when there's a sign that already does

and i might
could have thrown them out
don't remember

[oldhound]

yeah that's what it means.

which clearly meant i missed it and needed a reminder.

you what
seriously, you just throw out people's things after you take them?

[castle]

you were smoking cigarettes in a restaurant with a bunch of kids

you're lucky all i did was take them

[oldhound]

one bloody cigarette!

oh, aren't i just, mate. now where do i have to meet you in order to get them back?

[castle]

with nasty ass smoke that'll kill you

[ not that he gives a shit about him, but he's gotta look out for the kids. ]

didn't say i was going to
all that mate stuff isn't convincing me either

[oldhound]

ta for that. smoke's the least of my worries on a long list of things that'll do me in.

[ Then next time don't be a git and point out the sign. If he noticed it, he wouldn't have. He's a bastard for sure, but not that much of one. Usually. ]

what do you want? promise i won't spark one in there again?
just my way of talking. cause this wouldn't make us friends it just makes you a tosser.

[castle]

[ it's damn common sense not to smoke indoors. he doesn't give a damn where you come from. ]

don't know what a tosser is and i don't give a shit

don't see why i need to give you back anything anyway
just buy another pack if you're so damn desperate

[oldhound]

[ He doesn't exactly go out to lots of places that aren't bars. ]

first lesson then: it's you.

because they were mine to start.
that's not the point. the point is they aren't yours to keep.

[ Don't call him out like that. He'd be desperate too if he'd been smoking 30 odd a day since he was a teenager. ]

[castle]

yeah you're a real great dictionary

[ calling someone something doesn't define it, asshole. ]

i manage the diner where smoking ain't allowed
pretty sure it's in my right to confiscate whatever the hell i damn well want
especially if i got a sign that says it loud and clear

[oldhound]

it's one of my party tricks.

[ Just think really hard on it and maybe it'll make itself clear, wanker. ]

right, good for you, squire.
bloody well keep them then i already told you it was a mistake.
