i'm no hero

The name's Ralph. I'm a New York City guy who is trying to do more than get his life back together. I'm trying to figure out what to do with mine.

[miss-olivia-hall]

Pooka? Pooka? Gosh.. you silly dog. Pooka? Anyone seen a pug running around somewhere? She’s tiny and has a blue bow on her collar.

[ralph-owens]

You mean this pug? 

[ralph-owens]

Do you love Olivia?

My relationship is none of your business.

[ralph-owens]

You are a gentle giant and one haaaaandsome dude. You'll figure your life out in time, sweetheart, in the meantime, you keep that tiny blonde close.

Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Stay away from my Olivia.

[rosieposieettaa-blog]

Wait, what did you say?

[rosieposieettaa-blog]

Oh, well, Good, now I don’t feel so bad. 

[ralph-owens]

Right. Not a big talker.

[rosieposieettaa-blog]

Wait, what did you say?

I hope it wasn’t something important, cause I just tuned it all out.

[ralph-owens]

Didn't say anythin.

[siennaplease]

That’s awfully nice of you. Oh, I’m actually not that big a fan of Starbucks. I read a few articles about how coffee isn’t all that good for you, and it stains your teeth. So I try to stay away.

[ralph-owens]

Family means a lot to me. Eh. It's alright. Make it yourself. It's better that way.

[siennaplease]

Huh. Still, brownie points for you. I’ve had to translate for some people to understand me. …not that I speak White Girl. Not all that time, anyway.

[ralph-owens]

Eh. I'm a good big brother. I try and entertain my siblings' habits and hobbies. I don't even notice a starbucks drink attached to your person so you can't be that annoying.

[ralph-owens]

You seem like such a nice guy, like a big teddy bear.

Right. Real nice. 

[siennaplease]

Do you speak White Girl? Or are you just messing with me right now…

[ralph-owens]

Bit of both. I have a little sister that's 19. I understand the language of the teenage girl.

[siennaplease]

…who even runs the MTV account on Twitter? I swear, they are thirsty as hell.

[ralph-owens]

Oh my gosh. That is so ratchet.

[miss-olivia-hall]

I think you might already have one or two greys there [laughs lightly] It's becoming of you. You would? Thats... Kind of you. That's good to hear. And your family? They're well? Things are much the same for me. I'm back in London, it's strange. Dawson's gone, i'm still looking though.

[ralph-owens]

I do not. [runs his hands through his hair] It's the kitchen. They've turned me into Gordon Ramsey. Of course I would. You know...[sighs] I'm sorry. They're okay. Dad had a heart attack a year ago. He's still not at top condition. Oh wow. That's...well...uh...I hope you find him. 

[miss-olivia-hall]

I suppose you’re right. Disney magic would have kind of awesome though. Really? I’d seriously hope I grew a little bit. Theres nothing intimidating about a five foot detective. You, on the other hand seem to be the same giantsize you as ever before. It’s, uh. [Swallows thickly] it’s good to see you too. How’s everything anyway? Still in New York?

[ralph-owens]

It would have been. I'm going to go grey soon. Maybe an inch. It could be your shoes though. I'd be intimidated by you if I didn't know you had a soft spot for me. I am, yeah. I uh...things are good. Yeah. Still in New York. How are things with you? It's been...a while.

[miss-olivia-hall]

You’re probably right. I’m amazed the people have changed, i’d always imagined disney magic would keep everyone young. Now,that, would have been strange. [She pauses,but smiles sweetly]

[ralph-owens]

Everyone changes in time. Or tries to at least. I think you might have even gotten taller. It's good to see you again, Olivia. It really is.

[miss-olivia-hall]

Some things never do, I’ll give you that. This place definitely didn’t change. Not useless? You’re still as sweet as ever.

[ralph-owens]

I don't think a blade of grass has changed here. I'll always be sweet to you. You're my little Olivia.

[miss-olivia-hall]

Still getting lost… Useless Olivia,completely useless..

[ralph-owens]

Some things never change. And you're not useless.

Had to meet with my major adviser today.

[ralph-owens]

Bullshit. I was told how to live my whole life and it could have killed me.
