Red, always red.

We can order in, but if you're too short on cash. [As he should be.] We can see what you can handle. I'm not in a position to judge. [Kate grew up with a chef. She really isn't.]

I can do rice--rice's cheap. Mind a luxurious meal of rice and frozen veg?

[selfequipped]

Pizza and wine it is!

[brushoff]

[ he can't help but laugh at that. ] In that case, I'll swing by a pizza place sometime later this week--my place or yours?

[selfequipped]

I think I might as well grace you with the opportunity to appreciate the purple decor of my apartment.

[brushoff]

A risky color scheme. Still, I think you can pull it off.

[selfequipped]

Soon, you won't only think.

[brushoff]

I'll know?

video.

[selfequipped]

Yes, that's generally the not-so-witty follow up to that.

[brushoff]

I'm having an off day, don't blame me for that.

[selfequipped]

And here I thought prison might make you cleverer.

[brushoff]

I had plenty of time to read. I never said I read good books.

video.

[selfequipped]

Oh, but bad books are full of pithy remarks in the place of good characterization and plot.

video.

[brushoff]

The good books have pithy remarks also--though, theirs have become pithy as they're taken out of context time and time again.

video.

[selfequipped]

Oh, of course they do. But they aren't as good for chatter like this.

video.

[brushoff]

I'll grant you that--they really aren't.

[selfequipped]

It's like how bad TV helps you banter better. Stuff like Buffy!

video.

[brushoff]

Yeah, never watched Buffy. [ when you're in a decade long funk after your vampire boyfriend bit the dust, you understandably avoid anything vampire related. ]

[selfequipped]

It was actually mostly before my time, but Netflix is as Netflix does.

video.

[brushoff]

Well, when I get out of here, I know what to watch, then.

video.

[selfequipped]

Unless someone's from that world.

The big inconvenience to us all.

[brushoff]

Yeah, that's something I've been meaning to ask you about. I haven't been able to find any Doctor Who dvds in ages. Is that just something that happens? The Doctor shows up and suddenly poof, no more Doctor Who?

video.

[selfequipped]

No more Doctor Who, no more Back to the Future ...

video.

[brushoff]

Toby would be crushed. [ pause, explanation. ]

He's an old flame of mine. We met at a Halloween party when he was dressed as Marty McFly.

video.

[selfequipped]

That makes two of us who have dated people that are way too into Back to the Future. But I haven't had the heart to break it to Noh-Varr yet.
