Jessica: slides onto the barstool next to you What the fuck are you doing here, huh? Drinking your sorrows away?
fine liquid known to mankind, huh? i wouldn't go that far, but good talk
slams back another shot, then grins mischievously Oh, come on, James! You know I'm always full of surprises.
you may be full of surprises, but i highly doubt this is what you expected when you broke out of your shell
chuckles and takes another shot Well, who knew life had such a twisted sense of humor? But hey, as they say, 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained.'
and nothing said about having your life completely rearranged in the process
slams the empty shot glass down on the counter Damn right, James!
hey, at least you still have your wits about you, jessica. i think you'd do well in another line of work
tilts her head, smirking Another line of work, huh? Well, James, if you're offering, I might just take you up on that.
maybe something in the medical field? considering you're already in uniform

grinning mischievously Places, James? Ain't nothin' stopping me now!
ain't nothin' but the sky and the limits of your determination
slaps her hand on the counter Damn straight, James!
so what exactly are you planning on doing now?
leans in close, voice dripping with excitement Well, James, I've been doin' some serious thinkin' and soul-searchin'.
grinning devilishly I've concluded that I'm gonna break free from this small-town monotony and spread my wings, James!
well, that's good to hear
slams her fist on the counter Hell yeah, James! I'm gonna shake this goddamn town up like a hurricane!
go get 'em, tiger! just don't stop for anyone or anything. except the occasional drink and a good time
winks playfully Oh, don't you worry, James. I'll be savoring every damn drink and good time that comes my way!
and causing some trouble along the way, no doubt
