I once knew a girl named Alice who had been to a place called Wonderland. Was she there? Maybe I should have gone just to say hello, but I like my head on my shoulders, and she told me all about the queen who liked to chop heads off.

Was this one the same?

You know a place that'll sell it to you?

[Now he's being mean.]

Sell?

[And he remembers when Joshua gave him a hard time for stealing.]

I guess you could always do it the easy way if you have to.

[ That's just because it's fun to give him a hard time. ]

It's just as easy to lie about my age. Nobody ages here, so it's not like they can fairly check for identification. I could be fifty for all they know.

Any of the ways to get it here are easy. Not so where I'm from. Alcohol is illegal no matter what your age is.

[He can't even imagine... No wonder Joshua is like that.]

Tough system.

For those that follow the law, sure.

[ Rude! He had wine with dinner all the time, thanks to Aion. Demons don't care about human laws, goodness. ]

So is that a no?

[Which would have obviously been Spike.]

It'd have to be one hell of a beer.

Aren't you being awfully difficult...

I thought I was being generous.

Your contrary nature must be what endears you so much to the ladies.

Will I even get a story?

[As if he'd know.]

It's a gamble.

Last time I gambled, it was with Valentine.

How'd that one turn out?

I lost. She's a cheater.

I could have warned you about that.

You weren't around yet. This was a long time ago... Valentine was one of the first people I ever knew here.

Too bad she doesn't remember.

Funny how that happens.

Would you want her back here? If it meant she forgot everything?

[He always was good at guessing what's on his mind.]

What are the odds of making the same mistakes?

You already made the same mistakes, didn't you?

[... Next time he should just tell him the damn story.]

I think I changed my mind about wanting that beer.

[ Joshua seems to have that effect on people. ]

You shouldn't drink when depressed.

[Really regretting revealing that he cares about things now. Bad life choices to dwell on.]

I'm pretty sure that's where the whole idea came from. [And he's not depressed, so stop paying attention already.]

But a depressing story isn't a fun one... Unless it has some action.

You make a good point.

[He has plenty of those, but they've already gone too personal.]
