[ This isn't so bad. If the bars weren't here, Eddie has a feeling that he and this guy would get on like a house on fire, since they're already doing so well with the bars in the way. ]
Nah, it's...
[ It sounds stupid in his head, suddenly, but it'd been funny at the time and isn't that really what matters? ]
Back in my world [ — Eddie says this with the lazy confidence of someone who's already well-acquainted with the concept of hopping from one world to another with little fanfare — ] there was a riot at Attica Prison in New York 'cause all the prisoners thought they were being treated like shit. And then they made this movie a couple years later about a guy who robs a bank and he's out on the street and everyone's watching him negotiate with the cops, and then he starts yelling, 'Attica! Attica!' and all the people watching start chanting with him, like they're on his side.
[ A pause. ]
Thought it might get their attention, y'know? Start my own little prison riot, maybe get these magic nutbuckets to realise we're not gonna take this quietly.
