- WALT: What is it, like checkers?
- LOCKE: Not really, it’s a better game than … checkers. You play checkers with your Pop?
- WALT: No. I live in Australia with my mom.
- LOCKE: You have no accent.
- WALT: Yeah, I know. We move a lot. She got sick. She died a couple of weeks ago.
- LOCKE: You’re having a bad month.
- WALT: I guess.
- LOCKE: Backgammon is the oldest game in the world. Archeologists found sets when they excavated the ruins of ancient Mesopotamia. Five thousand years old. That’s older than Jesus Christ.
- WALT: Did they have dice and stuff?
- LOCKE: [nods] Mhhm. But theirs weren’t made of plastic. Their dice were made of bones.
- WALT: Cool.
- LOCKE: Two players. Two sides. One is light … one is dark. Walt, do you want to know a secret?
