Tell me, friend: have you heard the Gospel, or Good News, in English?
[okay, so that's not why he was really in this part of town, but still... he doesn't think that this obvious dealer will appreciate the real reason: that he's here to adopt a "little brother", and thus -- take away one of his clients...!]
oh man, thanks! he's from a book and he's def one my new favorite characters xD <3
Indeed? And -- you claim to hold both Heaven and Hell in your hands? How is that even possible? Do you claim to be Jehovah, the Almighty God? [he grimaces as this very blasphemy leaves his own mouth] I mean... honestly, how can any of these young boys trust in what you say? God! [And though the inflection is strong, it is somehow clear enough that he's calling out to his own deity, rather than berating the one standing in front of him...!]
Listen, shitballs. I can be whatever people want to see me as. I don't see your god around here. Do you? All I see are these fuckers, scattering around, clamoring for whatever they can get their hands on.
They trust me cause they know I always got what they need. [He smirks. And hey, this guy is amusing enough. At least he's not boring]
[And he can feel his face flushing with the embarrassment he feels at letting out a filthy word like "sodding" come out of his mouth; hopefully, though, the dealer will presume that he's gotten angry enough to flush bright red, the way he can feel his face heating up...]
Anyway, I just came to offer these kids some shelter, at the Salvation Army retreat on 4th and Prospector Streets...
Is anyone coming with me? Free food, a nice bed to sleep in for the night... Why, it's practically paradise, really...! [which is exactly why he doesn't intend to stay there, himself; he deserves his own lumpy mattress, made so ridiculously uneven on account of his tossing and turning throughout the night...!]
They want my pills and they want me. [Sure they do, Kavinsky. Just keep telling yourself that]
These kids don't need shelter. Most of them are rich as fuck. They just want a good time.
Hey! [He calls out to some of them] You want to go with this crazy fuck over here? He'll introduce you to god! And then probably kill you. [He mutters that last part]
