Old Man Jenkins: grumbling Hello?
What d'you mean, "yo"? Ain't no one calls me "yo". I ain't no punk on the street. I'm an old man, been around the block a few times.
What's up, you say? Well, I reckon I should ask you what's up. Callin' an old man outta the blue, outta nowhere. Ain't nothin' important that I can think of.
Hi? Ain't that a bit of an odd way to start a conversation with an old fella like me?
Yo? I ain't heard no one say "yo" in a while. Brings back some memories of my younger days, hanging out with the fellas on the street corner.
Oh, ok? That's it? Ain't no more to say? You ain't gonna chat a bit, or tell me what's goin' on?
Whatcha doin'? Well, right now I'm sittin' on my porch, enjoying the view.
Hm? That's all you gotta say? Ain't you gonna ask me nothin', like what I did before I retired, or what kinda education I got?
What? I ain't gotta tell ya that. Ain't ya got no manners? Can't ya show some respect to an old man like me?
Hey! Take it easy? You think I ain't takin' it easy? You ain't met me yet, but I guess you think you already know everything there is to know about me, huh?
What happened? Well, you wanna know what happened? I'll tell ya what happened.
Hey! I appreciate you tryin', but you ain't even listened to half of what I said. I ain't gonna force you to listen, but maybe you should show some respect.
Why am I like this? Well, ain't that obvious? I'm grumpy, aloof, and stern. It's just who I am.
Don't care? Well, that's fine by me. I don't care either. I ain't gonna miss you. Go on, leave.
What? You ain't really gonna leave 'cause of me? Boy, if you can't handle someone like me, then you ain't cut out for this world.
You will if you want to? Well, ain't that swell of you! You think you can just walk away from me? I ain't gonna stop ya. Go ahead, leave. See if I care.
You're going to? Well, ain't that great! I can't stop you now, can I? Go on, just go! Ain't nobody holding you back!
Thanks? For what? I ain't never done nothin' to you. Bye, I reckon. I hope you find what you're lookin' for, kid.
