Bill: “How long you been here”

Ted: “Coming up on 2 years, just retired from the Navy”

Bill: “I flew vipers at the academy and taught weapons school at Luke. Hang on one second. Hey Steve, what are you doing you old coot?”

Steve: “Biiillll, heading to Hong Kong. Can’t wait to go to Stinky Fingers. Those girls are so into me”

Bill: “How’s Linda and the kids?”

Steve: “Linda left me last year, and the kids are starting college this fall.”

Bill: “No way. How’s the triple been?”

Steve: “It’s great man. I’m bidding 54% and got 19 days off last month.”

Bill: “I’ve been thinking about bidding over.”

Steve: “You should man. We take off, I watch a movie, take a nap, eat, watch a movie, then we’re there.”

Bill: “Well, it’s 20 prior. Hey Ted, why don’t you go get the jet ready, I’m gonna grab a coffee and I’ll be down in 15?”

Ted: “Sure thing. Do you mind grabbing the walk around when you come down? It would really help speed things up.”

Bill and Steve: “hahahahahahaha!”

Bill: “I don’t even know where my vest is.”

Steve: “These new guys.”
