This is a test of your Confederated Emergency Rap Session.
We’re activating this circuit to explain that Sam is still living at his parents house
And has agreed to not ruckus
temporarily
in order to keep the fragile peace that abides when his ornery ass goes home to Ma.

“You could’ve banged her harder, is all I’m saying”

“Ma. That was eight years ago”

“And since you brought it up, that ring is from”
“The Old Country, Ma. I know. So’s the silver. I get it. One suitcase each”
“She’s a golddigger, Son. She’ll use you for your diamonds and sleep around. I know those hussies”
“Mother. I am trying to use the Internet”
Pa enters, makes himself a snack. He may be smirking slightly
“The doctor, she was nice? What was her name?”
“You could translate it as ‘high class’, your highness. I’ll be having a smoke now, thankyewverymuch”
“There’s this nice girl in my knitting circle….”
