Lawrence Montgomery

Lala Monty. 26. Bartender. Downtown. Last night, I got as high as your expectations.

“Watch your step,” Jasper said as he looked out from underneath the hood of the car he was working on. “There’s a grease spot there.”

“Oh piss. I could’a tried to slip and sue.”

“Can’t be doing this type of shit in public, my friend,” Jameson let out with a frustrated scoff and shake of his head. “Got one test left to grade or I’m gonna have my fucking neck rung.”

“It’s got to happen somewhere, my guy. It’s now or never, ya’ know,” Lala answered with another large grunt. “Just give ‘em a B. He’s probably praying for a B anyway. I’d give them all a B.”

“When I was a kid I took someone’s money, guilt ate me alive and I bought him a whole pizza.”

“Maybe this’ll go the same way. Only one way to be sure.”

corinnasaunders:

“Yeah well not every experience is the same,” Cori said as she rolled her eyes and pushed herself back from the counter to grab a cup of water. It was early enough in the day that there was a lull in customers and so she was willing to entertain until he struck an actual nerve. “One cup of water,” she said as she set the paper cup down on the counter then slide a straw next to it.

“Ehh, they usually are,” Lala answered, shaking his head, yet took the cup of water gratefully. Lala raised the cup and swallowed it in one gulp. “Another barkeep,” he yelled out, placing the paper cup a little harder than necessary -- yet not quite a slam, in a ‘mostly just for dramatics’ kind of way, down onto the counter.

mich-hayes:

“Alright, Lala. I believe you for now.” She gave him a playful glare before smiling. “I mean if you still want to mop for me, I wouldn’t say no…” she laughed. “Kidding. You want a water or coffee to start with?”

Lala let out a small, polite laugh. “Coffee please,” he requested. “And to go. I should probably spend breakfast on new shoes. But that cinnamon bun looks real fucking good,” he muttered, watching a server walk past.

“No — but I would rather you walk in here barefoot than tracking dog poop all around.”

“But what if there’s --- I don’t know, bugs on the ground or something? The dead kind, you know. Don’t want to step in that shit either.”

Elliott: I can't imagine a more delectable dish.

Elliott: Is it dumb to ask if fish actually have testicles? What do fish testicles look like?

Lala: They do actually.

Lala: They kind of intestines, but white.

Lala: Google it.

phoenixrossi:

Phoenix let out a sigh, his head shaking before he peeked over out the door to his car, “Fifty cents, huh? That’s a pretty impressive grudge to hold from how many years back now —- didn’t realize a guy your age would be so desperate for a gumball.”

“What can I say? I’ve got a hell of a sugar tooth.”

vera-rollins:

“Sweetheart, that dog probably did you a favor. Your shoes look like they should’ve been tossed a long time ago.” Vera replied looking down at his shoes for a brief second in disapproval. “But if you insist on coming in I’m going to ask you to take those off– I don’t want shit all over my new rug.”

“Well if we’re being honest, your rug like of looks like shit anyway and it’d better match the decor if I did.”

declan-everett:

“Unfortunately it’s not a dollar store.” Declan mentioned chuckling the man’s reaction. Though, he did feel sorry for the guy given the bad start to the day. “Tell you what. You keep your dollar and eraser and take a pair for free.” He offered.

“Am I going to owe you a favor later or what,” Lawrence asked, hesitantly picking out a pair of shoes. “Last time I owed an unknown favor for someone, I ended up holding two giant watermelons in front of border control for an hour.”

scott-wmackintosh:

“Well we all have our good reasons.” Scott held up his own glass, “Cheers.”

“So you know my life story now. You want me to pour you another while you tell yours,” Lawrence asked from behind the bar counter.

addiexsterling:

“I can get some from the back, hold on a second.” Addie finished up what she was doing and went to the fridge in the back to get a water bottle for him. “Well we appreciate you trying to keep that out of here. Here..” She handed him the water bottle and a grease rag. “This should help.”

“Thanks,” Lala said, taking the water bottle outside. Lawrence returned a few moments later with a wet pant leg but better conditioned shoe, not that anyone could tell by the looks of them. “You want the bottle back or should I just scrap it?”

“I can put up with the low temperatures in contrast with the bikini weather I’ve had over the past month, but you know what I can’t get over?” She sighed exaggeratedly as she pointed towards the mug of coffee on her hand. “That I’m drinking coffee because I woke up very early today instead of drinking a margarita while sunbathing every morning.”

[lawrencemontgomery-blog]

“Here,” Lawrence said, sliding a glass forward. “It’s just water because you sound like an alcoholic and I been told I’m fueling addictions. Mind the bar.” 

[jameson-flynn-gallagher]

“Could you either pipe down or grade these fucking exams yourself?” Jameson grumbled, his Irish brogue always a bit more prevalent with that type of anger behind it. In truth, he was just aggravated he was grading the exams at all.

[lawrencemontgomery-blog]

“Sorry mate. ‘M bit constipated. Truth be told, you probably shouldn’t be doing in a public toilet though. Respect though. Shit’s gotta get done.”

“Today I was at CVS and ran into a student and heard all about how Jenny was dating Derrick but seeing Mitch on the side and Ashley likes Mitch and is Jenny’s best friend so it’s all about to implode according to Mitch and all I asked was if was ready to a track meet. And that’s why I need a drink.”

[lawrencemontgomery-blog]

“Interesting,” Lala answered, nodding his head. “I need to drink because I’m an alcoholic. Cheers.”

lily-calnan:

“Now we find out if I can trust you or not,” Lily smiled with a gentle shrug of her shoulders, nodding along at the question. “Want the one with the most sugar sprinkled on top?”

“I don’t know if I’m more in love with you or the cupcake right now,” he joked, nodding his head. “Yes please,” he answered, folding his hands together on the countertop.

brennan-winters:

“Never been like a huge ‘take other people’s money’ guy.”

“Well have you ever tried it?”
