I turn to the twins ‘You guys are awesoone out to save those poor people on Alcatraz’

‘Ain’t no big thing,’ says Du beside me

‘Yeah, we save hundreds of people all the time,’ says Dee

‘All the time,’ says Dum

‘We were born for it’

‘And so to show us their gratitude’ Du humble

‘Yeah, okay, but if it happened once, that means it happened "sohty-year-old lady who looked like our granny,’ says Dee

‘A chick’s a chick, e And an offer is an offer’ Dum nods

Dee leans over and whispers to me ‘She offered to cook us Brussels sprouts, and we turned it down’

‘She was heartbroken Probably needed to find some lucky dude to pour her affections on the rebound’

‘Rebound’s a bitch’ Dee shakes his head

‘Not that we’re ever going to knohat that feels like’

The twins bump fists like true champions

‘And was Obi totally on board with the Alcatraz recue?’ I ask

‘Yeah, okay,to do with it’ Dee shrugs

‘Not that ouldn’t have gone ourselves to rescue those people barehanded, but you know, it was a teensy bit easier with Obi running the mission’

‘Good to know he’s not a jerk to everyone’

‘Actually, you’d be surprised at what a good guy he is,’ says Dee

‘I can tell he hasn’t thrown you in jail and abused your sister like Frankenstein’s monster’

‘He makes hard choices so the rest of us don’t have to,’ says Du for someone else to make the hard choices for me?

‘He’s human,’ says Dee ‘He has flaws’

‘That’s e’re here,’ says Dum ‘We make up for his imperfections’

‘Don’t take it personally,’ says Dee ‘He’d sell his firstborn, his parents, his cookie-baking grandht nut for a chance to get the huuy we know’

‘And there’s no sacrifice that he would ask of any of us that he wouldn’t make himself’

‘Who else can you count on when you’re chained up on an evil island like Alcatraz?’
