Heading to a standing bar top, Sheila goes and leans against it -- equal parts to rest her drinking arm, and to keep herself upright.]"Well... lemme fink. Trainy is loik a powah-house, in't she? So youse hoy-floyin' should be good. But yeah, she's orready had a foight, against the big Dojo 'tard none-da-less. Ah, fuck, Oi fink Oi'm meant ta say 'spaz' dese days? Oi dunno. Anywho, hope-fah-lee she's still finking ov dat match. Oi... fink dat's her only foight, but. So youse is only one behind her, yeah?"
"As fah pop-larrity... well, pfft. Nyeh heh heh. Lemme tell ya's a secret, mate. Da dub-dub-ay ordy-ents, dey is dumb as fuck and fickle as a pickle. None-a dem know what dey want. Half-a 'em loiked me, half-a 'em loiked Racks when she was kickin'. Da best Oi've EVAH done on a dub-dub-ay pop-poll was fucken noin-teenf. Dose cunts gave ol' Sheila two points more dan dey gave Prah-sillo. Den on da next one, she nearly doubled 'er scaw, and Oi didn't get a single fucekn vote, and those fucken pieces-a -- ah, shit, sorry mate. Dat's not really rev-a-lent."
"Ya know, mate, Oi ack-shally dun know peeps real good at orl, love. Only torked ta Kazoo and Lexo faw da ferst toim evah just now. And between youse an' me, Oi dun reckon Oi'm ovah-ly 'pop-lar' wiff dem two."
>[Sheila pauses for a second.]"But youse want confee-dents? Oi dun fink Oi can 'elp wiff dat."
>[With two hands, Sheila shoves Anna on the shoulders.]"Oi dun' fink youse'll evah get it."
>[And again.]"Youse is jus' a coward, aren't ya?"
>[And again. Sheila puts her hands on her hips and looks down her nose at her cowardly rookie.]
