Look. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. But I'm only sayin' it once, and I'm gonna say it real slow, so all of you better clean the crap outta your ears and listen up.
I get that there ain't no money. Actual money. But what I'm sayin' is, if you ain't got nothin' to trade, why the hell would you go around wasting somebody's time.
Like, it's like common friggin' decency to bring with you what you got to trade. No, 'oh, whoops guess I left it at home', no, 'oh, it's in the pocket of my other crappy shapeless pants'-- gettin' it to me in a day ain't an option, I don't care if it's your laundry day, if you're waitin' for some big payoff, I don't care if you got twelve kids--that's your own damn fault--I don't care if you're fresh outta the tube. If you wanna buy something from someone? If you bring in your crappy little console, and you want it fixed up real quick so you can get your ass back to work, and you hustle me along and talk real big and then when it comes time to pay up, and you give me some sad sack story? [SLOWLY AND LOUDLY:] I don't work for free. Nobody here better be workin' for free, and if they are, congratulations, you found yourself a sucker. Charity is for suckers.
Okay? Are we clear? 'Cause the next idiot that comes to me askin' for a handout is gonna get it, and I don't mean free frickin' labor. [SIGH.] Jeez. It's like nobody got a brain. Workin' with a buncha stupid fleshy kids. Hardly even seems worth it...
[grumbling trails off into nothing.]

( the lack of a question mark is not a typographical issue but rather an equal lack of inflection. anya isn't after anything in particular so much as her interest is twigged and she wants to prod him with a stick to see if there's anything else interesting, or if the speed of his speech might just be useful to practise grasping english. )

Answer service. You ask a question, I give an answer. Tech, I do tech. Mods, rebuilds, whatever. I feel like I already said this. Did I already say this? Oh, yeah. I did.

You speak very quickly.
( neither an excuse nor a reproach, just. baldly matter of fact. )
no subject
[except for the roundabout complaint right there, but whatever!]
It helps, talkin' quickly. It's what we like to call an economy of words. Means you can fit 'em all in so you don't gotta waste more of your breath explaining yourself to morons. Like I'm doing.
