Jax and V. in Tiger Key Bar

Ardanowski: People get diseases from places like this.

Jax: Ease up, all right? Remember, we're beach bums.

Ardanowski: You've told me, Mr. Jacks, a dozen times.

Jax: Yeah, well, I know being laid-back isn't exactly natural behavior for you.

Ardanowski: Hey, I'm perfectly capable of assuming an undercover disguise.

Jax: All right. Just -- just chill. Remember, we're after a guy with a ponytail, all right? Hey, mate, what's happening?

bartender: Can I get you something?

Jax: Oh, yeah. Yeah, a couple of beers, thanks, mate. But only if they're so cold they freeze the hairs in your nose.

Bartender: I'm not making any promises.

Ardanowski: So, how is it?

Jax: How's what?

Ardanowski: Your jellyfish bite.

Jax: Oh, yeah. It's better, it's better.

Ardanowski: Told you we should've listened to that sign.

Jax: Yeah, well, you know I never listen to signs. Come on, what kind of a person would I be if I listened to every sign that happened across my path, huh?

Ardanowski: A person who still had his car insurance.

bartender: Here you go.

Jax: Thanks, mate.

Ardanowski: Thanks. Excuse me.

Bartender: Yeah?

Ardanowski: Did anyone ever tell you that you have a very interesting skull?

Bartender: uh -- never.

Ardanowski: Well, you do.

Bartender: Anything else?

Jax: Lay off on the skull. It's not getting us anywhere, ok?

Ardanowski: I'm just trying to loosen him up a little. You got a better way of getting information?

Jax: Hey, mate, mind if borrow a smoke? Ok. Thanks, anyway.

Ardanowski: Oh, that was informative.

Jax: Look, we'll give this place two more minutes. Then we're going to move on to the next bar, all right?

Ardanowski: You know, Lester here thought I was out of line mentioning your skull.

Bartender: Yeah?

Ardanowski: Yeah, that's because he doesn't realize how much you can tell about a person by the shape of their head. I mean, take him, for instance. See all the bone behind the ears there? That means he has no respect for other people's feelings.

Jax: Are you finished?

Ardanowski: But you -- I mean, your skull tells a whole other story.

bartender: Oh, yeah?

Ardanowski: Yeah.

bartender: What kind of story?

Ardanowski: Well --

Jax: Look, if you're not going to finish your beer --

bartender: Hey, tom, she's telling me about my skull. Shh. You were saying?

Ardanowski: Can I feel it?

bartender: Can you -- uh, yeah.

Ardanowski: Ok. Oh, uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, from what I can tell, you've always been ahead of your time. No pun intended, of course.

bartender: You know, you're right.

Ardanowski: Really?

bartender: I mean, I was the first person I knew who was into nine inch nails.

Ardanowski: See that? And I bet you were also the first person on your block to have long hair.

bartender: Yeah.

Jax: all right. It's time to jet. Thanks.

Ardanowski: Right. Well, it was nice meeting you, and keep your head up.

Jax: On second thought, I think we may stay a little longer.

bartender: Why?

Jax: bathroom. That beer, mate, went right through me.

bartender: You two are up to something.

Jax: Oh, no, mate. No, we're just a couple tourists.

bartender: Hey, chill out, Blondie. Now, what the hell are you two after?

Ardanowski: Go ahead, lester. Tell him.

Jax: Why don't you?

Ardanowski: Ok, I will. Well, to be perfectly honest with you, we're just trying to score some weed.

Bartender: Weed.
