I’m going through some old notes I’d jotted down years ago for the novel I am now rough drafting. I can’t use this scene because it doesn’t fit in the timeframe of the novel, but I still like it.

“But why does he have to always be so dirty and slimy?” Jessie mused.
“Well, it’s not like they have showers,” James replied.
“They fight the fucking dragons with water. What do you mean they don’t have showers?”
“Well, maybe they just don’t have soap.” They watch.
“He could at least wipe his head off with a towel,” Jessie complained.
“And spit out that nasty stump of a cigar that looks like he’s been gnawing on it since the ’70s.”
