Is the service always like this?
It's all about who you know here.
Right.
Do you know someone?
I did.
More past tense.
Go on.
I got my heart broken into 15 000 pieces in this bar.
I come here for a bit of wallowing. Wow.
I tend to avoid those places.
Is this a recent thing? No I'd say 14 000 of those are back in place.
It's like a mosaic. Do it on the weekends.
So you're a softie.
Am I?
What if i told you I was on the run from the law?
I would be concerned for your legs.
Shin splints, fascial twisting, iliotibial band issues, plantar fasciitis.
Too much information.
It's a lot of things that can happen is what I'm saying.
Correct.
Here's one for you. Who was the first black president of the USA?
Come on.
I know that. Do you?
Yep.
Do you want a clue? It was back before the switch off... No. I don't want a clue.
Come on. I thought you knew everything.
Tonight's major prize rests on this answer.
I didn't know it.
Hey can you just excuse me for a sec?
You were gone a long time.
I was in there for a really long time because I just remembered it's Barack Obama.
Okay. You really do know everything.
How dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world.
Do you think that's true happiness though? I always wanted to read this book.
Hang on is Frankenstein the monster or the doctor?
I don't think I've gotten to that bit yet.
I mean I could tell you but maybe that would spoil it.
Are you okay? Yeah I'm fine.
It's the doctor, Frankenstein's the doctor. You're good.
Me I don't know anything. It's okay I'm sure you've got other skills.
How'd you end up on the run from the law?
Parking tickets.
No there were a lot.
So you're trouble like me.
You're also trouble?
The truth is I haven't even started the book. I just put the bookmark there so I'd look literary.
You sure you're okay?
Just got to powder my nose.
Hey.
Do you need this?
Yeah thanks.
You're really thoughtful.
My brother has anxiety so...
I don't mean that you have but you just seem a bit...
Sometimes I go online.
Sorry you go online? Yeah.
When do you go online? Sometimes.
Tonight? Just for a few minutes.
Are you now?
I didn't think anyone did that anymore.
Have you been living under a rock or something?
Can you please wait? Why? Why?
You're not really here with me anyway.
Why do you do it?
I like to know things. It impresses people.
Doesn't seem to be working.
