He shrugs a little bit but still smiles.
Vincent Hubbard: Well, technically I didn't break into anything. A little trick I picked up back in my carny days, helps with all kinds of things like padlocks...lockers...locked doors...you get my drift, don't you?
Way to make yourself sound like a thief. Sly Cooper you're definitely not.
Vincent Hubbard: Thanks for the compliment. My father's a tall man, always said I got it from him. Did you know he's a singer? Even put out an album last year. Mostly covers of older songs but you can't deny, the old man's got pipes.
He takes another drink, then tips the glass her way.
Vincent Hubbard: How about you? Go ahead and ask me something, I love to talk about myself but I'm not vain...well, maybe not THAT vain...

Oh he made it to easy to ask about where they were going, what he thought about her but asking those would have been to easy. She decides to go a different direction.
Rose I almost became a carny myself, I play with fire, but instead I joined a burlesque show in Vegas... but about you... What age did you become a carny and your father how did he feel about that?
Two part question... oh well. She takes begins messing with her glass as she listens.

His smile widens as he shifts in his chair a bit.
Vincent Hubbard: Oh, the day I was born. That was the family business at the time. We traveled through the Midwest for a number of years, setting up camp in some of the strangest places. My old man sang and danced, he ran machines whenever there was work at local carnivals...he was sort of an everyman type. But me? I tried almost everything, looking for something that I was really good at. Unfortunately, I took after him too well...I was decent at everything, great at absolutely nothing. It sucked sometimes but hey, that's how life went at times, right?
It's like the one movie said, it can't rain all the time...right? Yeah, bet you're wondering why he doesn't look like the Crow now, aren't you? Well, maybe I was saving that for this year's SuperBrawl or something. You don't know!
Vincent Hubbard: So, a burlesque show huh? Sounds kinky.

Rose That sounds actually kinda awesome but I have been called crazy once or twice. And yes burlesque show, I danced with fire and stripped down to panties and nipple pasties am I proud that no did it pay the bills yes, that and the fighting I did on the side to earn an extra buck.
She pauses thinking for a moment.
Rose You ever fall in love or get married when you were younger? Not saying your old or anything... I was married at 18, didnt last a year... Penny is a product of that.

His demeanor changes a little.
Vincent Hubbard: No, I never got married. Came pretty close once...but no, never married. No kids either. And that's probably the best thing about it, because I really don't see myself as being father material. There's others who are better suited to it.
He takes another drink, putting on another smile.

Rose It sucks when things don't work out so I'm sorry abou5 that. As far as you being a parent I can respect your opinion on that. I'm gonna try not to touch those two subjects for a while. Here is a stupid question.
She takes a quick drink and sits the glass down a little to hard.
Rose Oops. If you could have one thing that makes you happiest what would it be? For me it would be ice cream. Ice cream would make me very happy right now.

Vincent Hubbard: Pizza. Pepperoni and grilled chicken, extra cheese and plenty of grease. Artery clogger's delight.
He grins, tipping his glass toward her briefly.
Vincent Hubbard: Let's take this up a notch. What's your biggest fear?
He takes another sip.

Rose People... I get anxiety in large groups. I start to get tongue tied and think people are judging me, laughing at me. Some people do stupid things like kill a stranger and it makes me fear for my daughter and Mom because I wouldn't be there if something were to happen. Plus people can't drive... it's a mad house out there. Ugh people.
She smiles.
Rose Oh and rollercoaster, if you got a rollercoaster full of people that's it I'm over just pry me off the nearest bench cause I won't do it.
Random Rose... just random he probably thinks you're lame or something now... she laughs.

Vincent Hubbard: Wow...a fear of crowds, so you go on to become a burlesque dancer AND a pro wrestler later on? I'm starting to wonder just how scared of people you really are. Nevermind some of the pictures you put up online...
He lifts his glass to take a sip but stops.
Vincent Hubbard: Which were pretty damn hot, by the way.

Rose Ok... ok... I lied. I kinda don't wanna share my real fear, it's lame but anyway thanks about the picture thing. Let's just say they served their purpose, but I've been keeping the good ones stored away for when I need em. Oh and you can't give me compliments like that and get my hopes up... I'm crazy and I like to read to much into stuff... I am a woman ya know.

He starts to respond but his cellphone beeps. He puts on a hokey smile and checks it real quick but his pleasant expression soon fades, turning into something much more grim. He sits there quietly for a few moments, then lets out a sigh as he tucks his phone back into his jacket again.
Vincent Hubbard: We're gonna need another one of these! And make it a double this time!
He yells at a passing waitress, who nods back at him. He looks back at Rose again, putting on a flimsy smile before he proceeds to down his entire drink in one shot.

Rose Hey...
She puts a hand on his arm.
Rose I'm not gonna pry into your business but if you keep throwing down drinks you'll need to be carried out and I'm a small woman I might not be able to do that. You wanna talk or you wanna get wasted back at the hotel?

He smiles but shakes his head back at her all the same.
Vincent Hubbard: Nah, I'm not getting drunk. I'm a terrible drunk...I'm loud, obnoxious, I tend to sing, I forget what I'm doing...
He shakes his head again, scanning for the waitress.
Vincent Hubbard: And honestly? The last thing I want right now is to forget what I'm doing.
His expression brightens when he sees the waitress coming.

Rose What are you talking about "forget what you are doing"?
She sees him scan the room and she continues to watch him as the waitress comes toward them. She was lost at the sudden change in mood.
Rose Can I get an Old Fashioned please? Actually... no... yeah 2 of those
Vincent orders himself another drink.
Rose So you gonna tell me?

He stares at her for a moment, almost as if mulling over something in his head before he scoots forward in his seat.
Vincent Hubbard: I'll tell you something but it's not going to be what you think it will be. Because I've been living my life by bouncing from one reaction to the next and I've lost sight of what I want. So if you want me to tell you something? I'll tell you what I want right now...
He motions for her to lean closer.
