Panel 1
Mammy:

See, sweetie? It's so much easier when you cooperate.
You wanna tell me what happened?

Silver:

Yusuf came to the conclusion that I need to "jump into port" and proceed to "bust my conk" on a bit of first hand experience.

Mammy:

I mean your arm.

Silver:

Yes, I know.

Mammy:

So you busted it... while busting your... conk.

Silver:

Precisely.

Mammy:

Well I never did see a conk, but you sure as hell busted something.
What on god's green earth did he have you doing? Ranunculi rounds? I'll be damned if I ever saw one of them get riled up enough to nail a heavy hitter like you.

Silver:

I was caught off guard.

Mammy:

By a Ranny??

Silver:

By a newbie.

Mammy:

...

Silver:

Again, I was caught off guard.

Mammy:

But how--

Silver:

I reiterate,
I
was
caught
off
guard.

Mammy:

Whatever you say, dear.
Whatever. you. say.
I'm jus' sayin' that shit's far-fuckin-fetched, s'all.
But whatever, boy. I'll take your word for it.

Silver:

Good.
May we please proceed? I would hate for you to fail at practicing your own preaching in retrospect when it comes time to clean.

Mammy:

What now?

Silver:

The longer we babble, the more you have to clean.

Mammy:

I ain't doin' shit if you're gonna take that fuckin' tone.
Try it again, boy.

Silver:

...Sigh. Would you be so kind as to mend my lacerations, oh medi of mental. Swami of surgery. Madam of—

Mammy:

Ok, ok, good enough. Sit your ass still.
