Dialogue: The stripper and the warrior

C: “Is World of Warcraft really that interesting?”

M: “We all have our bad habits.”

C: “And what does that mean?”

M: (silence)

C: Stripping is not a bad habit! It’s a J-O-B that pays. And don’t you try and change the subject.”

M: “Didn’t say one word about it.”

C: “You never have to! You always give me LOOKS when I come home. You still haven’t introduced me to the rest of your family.”

M: “My mom likes you.”

C: “What about the REST of your family?”

M: “That’s all the family I’ve got, unless you’ve got something to tell me?”

C: “No, I just, I don’t see why you spend so much time and money on a stupid game. I’m right here”

M: “Look, when you’re on some pole, peelin’ clothes off, your name’s Candy and you’re just a hot girl twirling around while all the shmoes want to stick a dollar in your thong. I go online my name’s Monst3rSlay3r333 and me and my friends go and slay some monsters. Neither of us want to be Julianne and Jacob 24/7.”

C: “We’re never Julianne and Jacob anymore. We never go anywhere.”

M: “Christ Julie, you met me at a bookstore for Christ’s sake. I don’t like going out.”

C: “But I do, Jacob.”

M: “Fine, let’s go.”

C: “Oh?”

M: “Burger King is open, let’s go share some onion rings.”

C: “Really? And next week, we go to the park?”

M: “We’ll see.”

C: “Jay!”

M: “Park. Next Week. Got it.”
