John's brows knit together in extreme confusion. He'd just been thinking about what this man was like, he knew he had. And he hadn't said anything out loud about it either. That he was also sure of. He could remember. But the guy was saying it out loud. Talking about what he'd just been thinking about. That confused him. Quite a bit.
"I'm John Coffey." He said in reply to the telling of names. It was an automatic reply, but wasn't followed up with what he usually said with it. There was just something too odd about the guy for all of John to be intact and as happy as usual.
"Super geniuses? I don't know what you talkin about, boss." He didn't even know what a super genius was.
He caught on to the one thing that made sense to him in all of it. "I help people." He agreed.
