[She's so... cool. Every syllable she speaks exudes power and confidence, every way she moves her body seems calculated, deliberate, calm and smooth and confident. Her eyes, her beautiful chilling eyes, they're fixed on him, almost boring into his soul. How do they do that? Everything about her is arresting, captivating, gorgeous in a way that almost freaks him out. It's just a little... off. Unnatural.]

Oh yeah? These uh, these guys around here buggin' ya?

[That's another thing: why did she choose him? There are plenty of men and women here who aren't gross or disrespectful, who are more confident and more interesting than him, who look better. This mystery woman might not be looking for a hookup at all, but even if she's just looking for conversation, why single out a fat, balding, boring middle-aged man?]

Uh, no, I-- I've been livin' here a couple years now. Got a job at th'university after teachin' out in th'suburbs for a while. Thirteen years. Don't usually come here though, to be honest, uh... [Barry's gaze finds the patrons the woman indicated earlier. He grins sheepishly, offering a little shrug.] This isn't really my scene at all.
