“I think you know where I'm going
with this.”
“Yes, I do.”
“You seem a little disappointed.”
“I'm just tired. No, it's fine. It
fits the occasion. Callbacks are good.”
“I suppose. Well, I'm a little
disappointed. I thought there'd be more. I just wanted... say, could
you slip your hand in and take over? I'm getting a cramp.”
“Sure.”
“Thanks. I just wanted to break some
new ground, you know? Callbacks are okay, self-reference is okay, but
what are we missing? I feel like there's this edge we should be
exploring, but we're not approaching it at the right angle and we
can't quite find it. Do you know what I mean?”
“What? Sorry, I was distracted by
your harness. Is there a reason it's shaped that way?”
“Yes. Is that glass empty? Could you
hand it to me? Okay. Okay. There, that's it. You can stop. Thank
you.”
“No problem. Well, I'm not sure what
you were expecting—it's only an anniversary for us. Anyway, I have
get going, special meeting tonight. Don't wait up for me, dear.”
“Yeah, I might have a late night too,
I think I'll circle the city and fight capitalism. See you in the
morning, honey.”
