[The screen opens up in what seems to be a pile of discarded wine bottles. Exactly a dozen plus two, in fact. The view then shifts to The Kid, who is holding onto the phone...if you squint, you might notice he has a bit of a glazed look in his eyes. There's a bit of a slur in his voice, though he's oddly coherent considering the amount he's had.]

[He trails off and mumbles a bit. He doesn't look too good on an emotional or physical level, but he's doing a good job of miraculously staying alive despite how much he's had. There's some truth to his words: all the alcohol from the Bastion and his history of drinking helped build up a tolerance.]

Still don't have a lotta money...anyone need work done? When...when I sober up, I can do odds 'n ends...s'all I'm good at...

Oh, I can fix and build stuff, too. You'll need ta give me the matra...mater...stuff for it, though.

[Realizing he's drunk enough to start saying stupid things, if he hasn't already, Kid wises up and turns off the feed.]
