[If there's one thing you never want to do, it's recruit Kaneda for anything that he didn't want to be a part of originally. Because getting teenagers to do ANYTHING you want them to never goes over well. In hindsight, the city should've known that. But being recruited for some military position? Doing a job (and an awful one at that, in Kaneda's opinion)? You might as well sign the release form now and let him get back on with his life.

But they didn't. Which...complicates things.

He doesn't leave a moment to cool off, flicking on the communication device to reveal a...very upset, very angry Kaneda.

Understandably. He already lost most of his life and friends. Two more just takes the proverbial cake. So the government might have to work a little bit to get Kaneda to cooperate, just a little.]

HEY! Anyone going to tell me what's going on without using crazy talk? Where my friends are? I don't exactly trust authority.

[They kind of fucked up his friend mega.]

And where's my freakin' bike?

[Ah, there's the teenage boy problems we all know and love. After all, why read the information when you can yell about it?]

[tucky]

So give me an example. Come on.

[rassera]

Well I need to have traffic first!

You can't just rush it.

[tucky]

Fake it. Pretend you do. That's why it's an example - it ain't real.

[rassera]

Well--okay. Let's see here...

[He leans back a moment, crossing his legs and tapping his foot to an invisible beat--obviously deep in thought.

Before his head tilts, attempting to go into character.]

This is Kaneda with your traffic report this evening. Wanna know what the traffic is?

Look out your goddamn window.

[tucky]

[She laughs.]

You really gonna say that on the air? You should.

[rassera]

Damn right I'm gonna. Stick me with a boring job? I'll make it interesting.

[tucky]

Then I'm gonna listen, 'cause I want to hear it. What radio station is it at?

[rassera]

You know what? They didn't say. [He gives a soft wave of his paper.]

But if I've got a listener, you can be damn sure I'll let you know.

Can't keep my fans in the dark, right?

[tucky]

Yeah, but you'd better be interesting, or I won't be a listener no more.

[rassera]

Would I lie to you about entertainment?

[She just met you, Kaneda.]

[tucky]

I don't know? Would you?

[rassera]

You've got no reason to doubt me, right?

[tucky]

... Good point. Okay.

[Yes, it really is that easy.]
