“Mick.”
“M’yes?”
“Why are we here?”
“I got a gift certificate as thanks for helping some old man get home after he got lost and they were only letting in couples because today is a holiday.”
“And because they were only letting in couples you…”
“Put on my favorite purple dress that goes with my pumps and clutch! Look! There’s grape vines embroidered on the hem and my clutch has a bunch of grapes on it. They match perfectly.”
“Micky, why do you even have those things in the first place?”
“For situations like this when I need to dress up, duh.”
“Right… I suppose that was a dumb question.”
“A little. I forgive you though. Just this once.”
“Where’s Davy and Pete gone off to?”
“Davy has a couple of dates lined up and…”
“A couple?”
“He set them up in two hour intervals so the girls don’t run into each other. He set up a whole system for this holiday.”
“That sounds like a lot of work.”
“He’s a tiny man, Michael. He’s got a lot of energy pent up inside of him that needs to get out.”
“Yeah?”
“It’s a scientific fact that small people have a lot of pent up energy inside of them.”
“So where’s Pete then?”
“He got invited to an orgy to celebrate the holiday. Drink some water, Mike! Don’t choke on the food in your mouth! It’s too fancy for that. Swallow it!”
“Ngh… I wasn’t exactly expecting that to be the answer.”
“Why not?”
“It’s Peter for Christ’s sake.”
“The boy is like a rabbit, Mike. He’s cute but also very horny!”
“Apparently…”
“Mike?”
“Yeah?”
“You don’t regret going out with me tonight, do you? This gift certificate was going to expire in the next day or two. I couldn’t think of anyone else to go with and I just thought…”
“Mick?”
“Yeah?”
“I’m glad you invited me to come with you. This place is pretty groovy and I like spending time with you.”
“…Mike…”
“Now don’t start crying! Yer mascara is going to start running and I know that will just upset you even more to see yourself like that.”
“I’m trying not to.”
“Come on, babe. Let’s enjoy the rest of this evening together, hm? It ain’t everyday when you are paying for a meal!”
