[Dubiousness is perhaps the reasonable response to the amount of peppy good cheer coming through the phone right now. Jack laughs in a "fair question but I'm going to treat it like a joke and laugh anyway" manner.
If he was selling something, at least he might be making money which he apparently needs to feed himself here. He's never worked to support himself in his life--not in the conventional sense. He remembers the all-expenses-paid ease of a military allowance with fond longing.]
No, no, I'm trying to give away money if I can. [It's a near thing, but he stops himself before he substitutes the more commonly used "gil" instead. He doubts the phone line is all that secure.] It might sound weird, but I need to get a uniform fixed up. It's seen better days, kind of torn up and stuff. I thought maybe you'd know someone who could do that.
