001- [phone] This is the worst intro ever....

[He's been listening to the phones all week, trying to figure out what's going on. After a lot of careful thought he still has absolutely no idea.]

Sooo.... there were too many people here and the power went out, but then the people were gone. Except then they were back but those were fakes. Only not really 'cause it was a trick.

And then no one was missing anyway, but then they were all fakes again and now they have to die, so that Santa guy'll return the real thing. That's how this works right?

......Sure is a weird holiday.

[He is just.... so confused right now.]

And you guys do this every year?

Told you this place is terrible. Don't waste brain power tryin' to understand it.

Hi Boss!

I don't think this place is all that bad. Last time we were exiled, there was a lot less to work with.

[Because, from his perspective, being sent to Mayfield is a lot like being suddenly dropped on a dead planet and told to survive. Except Mayfield comes with a pre- existing town.]

Yeah but there also wasn't a bunch of coppers tellin' us what we can and can't do. Ain't no freedom here, Deuce. You can't even stab a guy without some asshole getting on your case.

Wow, Boss. Makes you wonder what the world is comin' to...

[A world where Slick can't just stab people with abandon is somehow a sad place for Deuce.]

Too bad you ain't runnin' this town. You'd show 'em how it's done.
