"Yeah. I can do that." Past the surly exterior he's actually just another kid with stupid dreams and hopeful smiles.

"I uh- yeah. I haven't been back to the house in a while." It's not a home for him. Even if he was that attached to the place, it's more like a slum. "It'd be nice." Not to have to clean up in a public bathroom or pretend to be a shopper using the mall toilet and try not to get thrown out by security.

"Can I leave my bag here at least? It's everything I got." If he's not getting the couch he doesn't want to have to worry about his stuff getting swiped while he's making his own hammock on the beach and lying in it.
