Careful, River. He’s moving in. You better put a ring on it.

River

Trust me. I’m trying.

That made me happy. Seeing my brother and Ruby building this life together. It’s everything I wanted for River.

Romeo

Demi said you went for a ride with her, Ruby, Saylor, and Cutler the other day, King. How are you feeling? She said you were walking funny after.

River

It was more than walking funny. He made me stop by the Daily Market and find some sort of ointment for cows tits.

Nash

I believe those are called udders, dickhead.

Dude. I had to work, and I could barely walk. It had been a while since I’d been on a horse, and I thought I’d be cool by skipping the saddle.

Hayes

I’m not following. What was the cow tit ointment for? Your nipples were sensitive from riding a horse?

River

It wasn’t for his nipples.

You are such a cockfucker. You don’t know what you’re talking about. It wasn’t for my dick.

Romeo

I like cockfucker. It just hits different.

Hayes

Agreed. I like it.

River

So tell us… where did you put the ointment?

It was for the devil’s driveway. It hurt like a bitch. We rode for miles.

Hayes

What the fuck is the devil’s driveway?

Nash

Your asshole area?

No, dicksausage. You know, the gooch. The taint. The devil’s fucking driveway. That runway from your asshole to your balls. It’s dangerous territory. One not many women want to visit.

Romeo

Where do you come up with this shit?
