[He's getting good at this, the phone is held steady against a table and Vasquez is centred in the frame of a new location, where a sign behind him reads SON OF A GUN. To say that Vasquez looks happy is underselling it, mainly because he's finally in his element.]

Hola, everyone. For a limited time only, we're going to run a special here at the gun range. You come down and have a class with the new instructor, me, and maybe I'll show you a few tricks.

[One of them he shows off with proud ease, spinning both guns in perfect synchronicity even as he keeps his gaze fixated on the camera.]

Just come down, ask for Vasquez. I'll even see if they'll let you have ten percent off, maybe, but only if you tip very nicely.

It sounds like you can come down and shoot at a man-sized target, then. It can't hurt anyone, maybe except for the papers?

[angelpants]

I mean, if you insist.

[quinientos]

Come on, then. First session free, so long as you and I, we have a competition to see how the skills are.

[angelpants]

And when you get beat by a girl?

[quinientos]

If you beat me fair and square, then I get beat by a girl. Maybe I'll promise to show you how to spin a pistol and impress some boys.

[angelpants]

I already do that with my hair for days. Girls too.

[quinientos]

I have to imagine me teaching you to spin guns is different than hair, but maybe we'll see.

Girls too? Because you want to? Or necessity?

[He knows about the second one. Not girls, though.]

[angelpants]

I meant that was how I impress them, not that I spin it.

And yeah, some people like guys and girls.

[ And Waverly is one of those people. She hopes he won't be upset about it. ]

[quinientos]

I know all about people like that.

[Could be that he's talking about Billy and Goodnight, could be that he's just talking about himself, but it's been a long time since he desperately sought out some kind of company like that.]

You have very shiny hair, you know. It's nice.

[angelpants]

I know, it's like the best right? I'd definitely win a hair contest.

[quinientos]

I wouldn't give you much competition now. Maybe once it grows out.

Then, we can have a shooting competition and a hair one.

[angelpants]

Sure you're up for it? It takes a lot to make your hair look this good.

[quinientos]

Maybe when mine is a little longer. It curls very nicely, you know. Besides, then you can teach me to impress with my hair.

[angelpants]

It's a tough job, but I think you've got potential.

[quinientos]

I don't think I'll grow it out to your length, but some of us don't need to go around impressing men and women anymore.

[angelpants]

Nah, you look great without hair for days. So you have nothing to worry about.

[quinientos]

Good, I would hate to have to keep it in ponytails and braids. Some men can do that, but I'm not sure I could pull it off.

[angelpants]

As amusing as that might be to see, I think you're okay without it. And definitely no man bun okay?

[quinientos]

You've lost me again. What's a man bun? Is it a bread?

[angelpants]

[Picture of a hipster with a man bun]

[quinientos]

That's not so bad? I know a man who does that, but he used the pins as weapons. Very clever, that.

[angelpants]

I just don't think it's quite your style.

[quinientos]

Now that sounds like an insult saying I can't pull it off.

[angelpants]

Well I mean, it'd take awhile to grow your hair out for it.

[quinientos]

It's already curling at my neck. I think maybe two weeks later, I could have this 'man bun'?
