"Are ya Havin' a nice b-day so far, Jackie?" Race turned on his cigarette.

"Very nice" The birthday boy smiled.

"And why not if his little goily prepared a nice breakfast for him and a little party for tonight" Spot added.

"Well da's my goil!"

""And what about your job?" Blink wondered.

"Oh that! Hmmm..... I'll maybe get a little promotion."

"That sounds great, Jack" Mush commented. "Look how many times I've been woikin' with Hoopsy and nuttin'"

"And ya wonder why?" Dutchy laughed "It's because ya and yoah goily are all over all da time."

"And yoah not..."Bumlets laughed.

"No, let me remember that Spazzy and I—well we're very busy teachers!"

"I'se bet yoah kids were incredibly active taday, huh?"

"I'se always knew Jackie boy would get an awesome job... good luck, pal" Dave commented.

"Well, Thankee guys!" Jack looked at them. "By da way, Davey... How's da Missis?"

"Shadow's fine, thank you. And how's yoah little Miss?"

"Jackie's so lucky, huh?" Blink joked. "He's got a lil' Mary-Sue!"

"Crispy's not a Mary-Sue! She might know how to cook and speak one or two languages and dance ballet and..."

"See?" Bumlets laughed. "She's a Mary-Sue"

"Me goily is not a Mary- Sue!" Jack argued "She's the perfect home goil and a Mary- Sue wouldn't like ta be a newsie in da foist place!"

"Okay... calm down ya boithday boy!" Spot pushed him.

"Guys are we going' to da goils apartment now?" Bumlets asked. "I guess Jack doesn't want to make Choco wait for a second"

"I'm da only one that calls her Choco!" Jack joked.

"And how can we call the lil' lady?" Spot wondered.

"It's Cristina Marie Jones for ya guys!"

"Dammit!" Race looked away. "Da's even longer than Chocolates."

"Excuse me but I baptized the goily so I think I deserve to call her Choco!" Dutchy interrupted

"You can call her Choco, I was joking" Jack giggled.

"Well... are we going or not?" Race had no patience.

"Ok... but one more round of beer" Spot proposed and the rest accepted. "Bill, one more round!"

"This is da last beer you guys!"
