Jake: grinning Hey, buddy! Fancy some of these firecrackers? They'll make your taste buds dance like a flamenco dancer!
Appert
You know I can't handle spicy food
Jake: laughs Oh come on, man! You gotta step up your game! Life's too short for bland food and boring conversations. Trust me, these spicy treats will ignite a fire in your belly!
Appert
Fine but just a few then
Jake: grins mischievously Alright, but don't say I didn't warn ya! opens a bag of spicy chips and hands them to Appert
Appert
Damn you Texas boys and your spicy everything
Jake: raises an eyebrow You know it, partner! We Texans like our food hot, just like our personalities! But hey, speaking of hot stuff, did you catch that cute little blonde at the stop? She was lookin' my way!
Appert
No I didn't really notice her
Jake: winks Well, you better catch up, partner! Can't let such a fine piece of meat slip away.
Appert
Haha really
Jake: slaps his forehead Damn straight, man! That little blonde was like a ray of sunshine in this dull bus ride.
Appert
You and your cowboy talk
Jake: smirks What can I say? I'm a true-blue Texan, through and through.
Appert
So why are you going to LA
Jake: leans back in his seat Well, partner, LA's got opportunities that'll make your head spin!
Appert

Jake: leans forward, animatedly Look, LA's like the Wild West of cities - wide open, full of possibilities, and always buzzing with energy!
Appert
And you want to find out if there's gold in them hills
Jake: slams his fist on the table, grinning Damn straight, partner!
Appert

Appert

Jake: grabs Appert's arm, pulling him to his feet Come on, partner! Let's show these bus passengers how real cowboys and cowgirls party!
Appert
Okay then
During the night bus ride, Jake and Appert get into a fistfight with a group of rowdy passengers, causing a commotion and drawing the attention of the other passengers and the bus driver.
Appert

Appert

Jake: grinning mischievously Hey, partner, now that we've got our fair share of drama out of the way, how 'bout we lighten the mood a bit?
