I appreciate it... but I don't know of anyone other than my creator who knows my gearwork well enough to be able to perform a comprehensive servicing of my parts.

[And he doesn't bear Mr. Valentine's engineer ill will after that time she malfunctioned in front of him, but forgive him if he's cautious about entrusting his structural integrity to a stranger who is capable of breathing fire.]

Though I would be thankful for any oil or knowledge of its precise whereabouts. My personal supply will not last forever.

[It's okay, Oscar. He's aware that it takes some folks time to warm up to Rey.]

I know we keep some things down at the dam. Oil, tools, some spare parts if you find a screw loose.

Am I permitted to make use of these items?

I don't see why you wouldn't be if I am, so long as you're not changing your parts out every week.

How about swing by there on my patrol today and pick up a few things for you?

That won't be necessary, Mr. Valentine. Oil is all I require, and I won't have need for more of it for some time yet.

Thank you, Mr. Valentine. You have always been kind to me. I hope that someday I am in a position to return the favor.

Honestly, it's a relief just to have someone else around who understands what it's like to deal with rusty joints and having a screw loose.

I admit you are the first being of the electrical persuasion with whom I have spoken. Learning how much we have in common has been illuminating.

We don't get a lot of synthetics coming through this town.

[Well, obvious synthetics. Not all of them can hide in plain sight, and frankly, it's better that way.]

Was just me for the longest time. Can't help but wonder why that is. They say the Door brings in chaos, but I can't say you seem like the type to cause too much trouble.

Perhaps it is not chaos in the individual per se, but in the events and circumstances that influence them.
