pizza isn't all i had planned. oh, really? yeah. i was hoping you'd buy dessert. you silver-tongueddevil. that's right, weez. what do you say? after you inhalethe rest of this pizza, let's go out. we never goout anymore. we went to the willises' dumb party last night. that waslast night. this is tonight. two nights in a row? you're not getting any younger. we enjoy ourselves when we go out. you must admit you enjoyed the party last night. watching willisdive into a bowlof meatballs? at least we met new people and heard some different conversation. it's alwaysthe same conversation. "margot, i got adorablehalstons at bloomingdales." "buffy, i loveyour new hair color. i've always admiredrhesus monkey red." it was a lot more interesting than that bash at the bowling alley. who could forget that brilliant banter? "hey, jefferson, can you get out a mustard stain?" "no problem." "can you get out a grass stain?" "no problem." "can you pay this check?" that was sickening, george. yeah, the wayyou tell it. oh, and your distinguished colleague, bill ripkin, who tells the same old ridiculous joke over and over. "what is irish and stays out all night? paddy o'furniture." that's funny, weez. even you can'tmess that one up. bill ripkin is a snooze. a snooze? he opensbeer cans with his nose. and an idiot! i prefer meeting people like joe blake, tom's guest of honor. he's a writer. a sensitive, intelligent man. what goodis sensitive if you'restranded witha beer and no opener? how can you compare your foamy-nosed friend he's a dunce! he said the dumbestthing to florence-- "will yougo out with me?" and he was lookingright at her. he'll be here any minute. be nice to him for my sake, for florence's sake, and for the sake of every bone in your body. why waste yourmoney on his book? it's an advance copy. it's not on sale until next month. good. i canthrow mine away before anybodycan buy one. you'd feel differently if you would just read it. it's warm, sensitive, emotional, and inspiring. put it by the john. i'll read itin installments. i'm dying tosee your outfit. coming! thanks for the warning! how do i look? oh, florence,you look beautiful. you're reallydressed to kill. yeah, especially with your face uncovered. excuse me. there's no way i'll trade insults with you today. especially not with someone whose head should have "brunswick" stamped on it. or someone needing a ladder to reach the sidewalk. ok, you don't wantto exchange insults. just as long as that's understood. oh, mrs. jefferson,i'm so excited. i'm going out witha real live author! [doorbell rings] you'll spoil his appetite. joe, you remember mefrom last night. how could i forget... "paddy o'furniture." feel free to use that in your new book. i know i told you this last night, but i really do admire your work. i started reading your novel, and i just loved it. let's see, how can i put this? please, florence, we're talking here. now, your opening passage was written beautifully! especially-- mrs. jefferson... i'm sorry, florence. you weren't saying anything, so i took up the slack. joe, say hello to your date. florence, you... you look wonderful! so do you. our reservation is for 7:00. we're eating at a chinese restaurant close by. oh, chinese. that'sperfect for florence. this is the yearof the dragon. he's cranky. he has a sore neck. nothing serious? he got it trying to look normal-sized people in the eye. well, good night. good night. oh! don't do nothing i wouldn't do. oops! too late. you touched her. why do youbehave like that? it's charisma, weez.
