"Since they don't seem like they're very good company, I figured I might hang out here more and talk to you," Russell answers with a grin as he glances back at the teenagers. He remembers shit like that, being just a kid, heading out to the diner with his high school girlfriend -- though he'd had a couple, which had been impressive for a skinny kid like him -- and how adult it had felt to sit together in a restaurant like this, no parents around.

He doesn't miss being a kid, not by any means, but sometimes he misses easy shit like that.

"It's been a long damn time since I've done anything like that," he says with another laugh. "Just sat down in the corner of a diner with a girl I like."
