[ Raising her eyebrows, lips pursed. ] I don't work for them, I'm one of them. [ That bit's important. Amy Pond doesn't do anything she doesn't want to, and she doesn't just work for people. ]
I was working in a shop where they asked for protection money. Like hell I'm gonna work in a place like that. [ A shrug. So she slept with one of them because she wanted to and for information, and then she walked in and told them she wanted to join. As easy as that. ]
Hell, I probably know the guy who asked for the damn protection money. Those guys're predictable.
[Not that he's not like that, too. But he's a little different; he'll work with anyone he can. Most of these people are so stuck on one side or the other -- Italian or Irish -- that they won't do what's in their best interest.]
[ She thinks in another life (the one she remembers sometimes) she had morals that wouldn't let this go, but right now and in the world that she lives in? Amy watches out for herself and she wants to move up in the world, wants adventure and excitement and if she can get that joining the mob? Well, then that's what she'll do. Has done, as a matter of fact. ]
[He's not too sure if it's too soon in the date -- at least, he's thinking of it as a date, he's not sure how she's thinking of it -- to ask her to do something after having lunch, so he settles for taking a big bite of his spaghetti, twirling it around his fork, trying not to splatter sauce everywhere.]
[ She swallows around a mouthful of meatball, eyebrows going up and grinning. It isn't lady-like, but Amy's never been and it never bothered her, so why should it now? ]

[He grins at her, liking the way she talks, liking her enthusiasm.]
... beatballs. I'M SORRY
Re: My brain autocorrected it. Way for me to not notice XD
[You can do a lot of other things, too, Amy. He likes you.]
So. Tell me about yourself. You like Scotland. You work for a bunch'a...
[Well, he's not going to call them all gangsters. He doesn't want her thinking poorly of him.]
oh, good. carry on then

You wanna go for a walk or somethin' after this?

You asking me out on a date, then?

Yeah, all right. Let's go for a walk after.

Sounds good to me.
[And another huge mouthful of food. So charming.]

He's just lucky she doesn't care about lady-like things. Like tablemanners. ]
Food first, though.
