Jake's arms flailed as she shoved him off the bench, plopping down on the grass with a confused expression. He looked up to her as she just stood there, demanding he just...stop being sad. Like it was that easy!
But then she actually had a bit of a point with her next little speech. He does have Jane...Even if he failed this, she'd still want him by her side right? Of course she would! How could he even question that? And when she mentioned kicking Dirk's ass, while he didn't completely like the idea of it...part of him knew he probably could! He's not just old fuddy duddy Jake Englan- English anymore!
He stood up with a nod of his head, fists clenched as he looked her straight in the eyes. "Yeah!!! I do have Jane! And I could totally kick Dirk's ass! I could kick anybody's ass!!! I could kick your ass!!!!! I could kick MY ass!!!!" He wasn't sure what it was about her almost overwhelming if albeit not the most innocent encouragement, but it was striking a chord with him right now.
"I'm not gonna be a quitter! I didn't quit when my truck first started doing bad, and I'm not gonna quit doing anything else just cause I hit a few bumps! I'll give 'em the ol' one two if they keep getting in the way!"
....actually yeah. Kinda.
