"What should I do, Jerr?"

"You should do what you want because I don't give a damn fuck."

"Shit, don't pull that shit now."

"I ain't pullin' nothin--it's you that's weighin' me down. This the last thing I do for ya, Ben, ya hear? Last thing."

"..."

"Now pull yer arm hard on three. Ready? One, two, umph! Dammit, I said three!"

"This the last I be seein' you, huh?"

"Thas what I said, ain't it? Now on three-"

"Don't you bother. Ain't nothin' left worth savin' under there. Just stay here 'bit longer if you mean on leavin' later."

"You shut your mouth and pull. I didn't get my ass nearly shot off to hear you bitch like this."

"Just a bit longer, Jerr. Let go o' the gears."

"Fuck-"

I don't know why the idea of one year seems so incomprehensible. Almost offensive.
