Logans log six, no 7even:
As I was trying to say before, little Jan Jane Perkins tried to…… Seduce me to make my pain go away or something. I’ll say this: little Jane Perkins is about 20 years younger than me. She is too young for an old falcon, old wolf like me. Because if I get with Perkins, I will forget about. I’ll tuck em away, Em, and forgive me, the kids named as Jon and Sue…
…As I was trying to say before, little Perkins tried to……perk me up, lay me to make my away or something. I’ll say this. Little Perkins is about too younger than me. She is too young for an old wolfl like me. Because if I get with Perkins, I will forget about Rem and Emily and Jonny… And Susanna and… You know the old blue ball… Earth still exists, but it’s just not like the Red one, you know? I know? Yeah I do.
It’s a sad place. Is it is whatever is Blue. Blue Balls! Gotta get paid soon. So i can get laid. Paid and laid.
I bet there might be some lady in the night who likes the looks looks of little ol’ me.
But Here is Red, and here I’ll stay.
Because this is my hill to die on, not theirs… and, and and send four, four, for! (Hacking fit.)
(Val enters the tent. Swiftly. Like a hawk. She grabs Logan by the shoulders and shakes him, then slaps him in the face twice.)
Logan: What the fuck, Val?
Val: *What is my name*, Logan?
Logan: Valkyrie Jones.
Val: No, Logan. We’ve been over this. My name is Valerie Thompson Jones. You only called me a Valkyrie because to you I looked like one of them pretty angels that took the battle guys to Valhalla.
I ain’t white; I ain’t blonde. I am a black woman and my hair is black and frizzy and my name is Valerie. I “Val”? No, Loag!
We’ve been over this, and my name is Valerie. Thompson. Jones.
Set your feelings for me aside, because I got bad news for you, Captain.
It ain’t the drinking or the smoking. Obviously the Dirty Dogs don’t give a fuck about that. But what you got is Sleep Depp.
I’ve got it real bad worried about you. Sleep deprivation!
If it doesn’t clear up soon, I’m going to have to call high command.
Logan: You would call high command on me?
Val: Absolutely I would, and for you too. Yes, motherfucker! I heard you talking about your “Croaking,” again.
You can’t croak; you don’t have the rights.
If you do, I have to take command. And I like being a lieutenant, and I like you as my captain! Get some sleep, get some rest, or you will start making mistakes that will cost lives.
And from now on, let the past be the past! I mean, our past.
Luther is my husband now, and… I love you, I love you, Loag, but you got a family and... our history is getting in the way of my real marriage.
Let’s get back to New Austin as soon as possible and get you some sleep and Hell, maybe some Austin strange. You have made-believe everything to the point where you don’t know what up is, down, whatever!
I’m gonna give you two days until I call High Command. I will be watching you very carefully these next few days. Turn the tape off right now!
You had your fun and games, Loag. This is over. We’re in a war. A real one.
It is not fun, or some movie or show or video game! So end your game and do the work! Goddamnit, Jesus…

Logan: You’re right. Go to Luther. You’re always right… Valerie. i’m so sorry.
(Valerie sniffs, and wipes the tears from her face carefully until everything is dry.)
Val: OK. I will. For everybody’s sake...please… get some sleep, Logan.
Please.
