( text | un: butcher )

i ain't here to commiserate or shit like that
you wanna feel like shit, feel like shit
no one's gonna baby you

but i've had a little to drink, the stars all look the same so i'm curious
tell me your biggest sin
come on, i was the fuckin' preacher back in that shitty town
i listened to all kinds of shit from those people
none of you shits came to visit so

cleanse yourself
get it off your chest
or make something up to entertain me.

( he doesn't expect anyone to actually go confessing their sins but hey, maybe they'll get creative and he'll have his fun for the night. )

come on, i'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.
if you don't wanna share, tell me, you think the end justifies the means?
would you be willing to do some nasty shit to get the best result in the end?

( welcome to the murder club. there's probably a lot of them that belong to it here. but a lot fewer that don't really give a shit that it's a thing that they did. )

still married to him, then?

I only tried to kill him twice.

[ An underestimation, but only two serious attempts. Also a 'yes.' ]

That's quite good for some of his marriages.
And some of mine.

so, how the fuck long is that then?
that you've been married to this guy who was a demon but wasn't
and you killed.

it's the start of a good fuckin' movie.

That's not the easiest question to answer.
Days? Centuries? A thousand years?
Longer from his perspective than mine.
More than half my life.

Stories have been written about us.

must've missed those
but i wasn't a big reader
always preferred a good movie.

but that's a long fuckin' time to be with one person

Even one you've tried to kill?

We haven't spent all of it together.
Not the settling down types.

i been married
never tried to kill her.
but no one told me she was a demon or anything.

( someone else beat him to it, though. )

after all that
started to think i'm just not meant for it

No. I'm not really either.
He's the exception.
Most people seem to understand.
At least why I married him.
It's why he married me they have trouble with.

I guess people like you and me don't come across as good spouse material.
It might have something to do with calling ourselves psychopaths.

yeah well, if the shoe fits and all
wouldn't want to lie about how i am
that would be rude.

( because he's never rude, not once in his life. )

i don't put it on my business card or anything.

Don't you?
I thought about having it embossed in gold foil.

Fortunately, I think my husband finds it something of an attractive quality.

yeah, i don't think my wife would
but i adapt for the environment and all
s'what i do.

and if that means being a psychopath
that's what i'm gonna be
billy butcher, psychopath, esquire all that shit.

wouldn't even fit on a business card

I'd say we have that in common.

The print would have to be awfully small.
You've certainly a name for it, though.

don't i?
it's real and everything
guess i got lucky there.

billy butcher, at your service

River Song, at yours.
Real in a fashion.
Of all the names I've had, I think it suits me best.

you just keep saying things that make you more interesting
i've never had another name
but now i want one

Well, I do try, sweetie.
I recommend changing it up now and then.
Keeps people guessing.

all right, even though we've just met
you're the expert
give me a good new name for me

Carver Clark.
I'm not really sure it suits you.

doesn't sound terrible.
or maybe it makes me sound like a really fuckin' smart businessman
i ain't really that

You can convince people of almost anything.
You just have to own it.

i think too many people might know me to change it
maybe if i ever get off this fuckin' thing though
might go for it
make a new persona for myself

I recommend it.
You can be whoever you like.
You might be surprised how easy it is.
And how little people question.

we'll see if i can pull it off
i have a memorable face.

Are you suggesting I don't.
I'll try not to be offended.

i don't know
would i remember you again if i saw you?
might have to try it out
