- Are you up?

- (whimper)

- War of the worlds again?

- What?

- You were whimpering.

- Huh...what? 

- You were making noises, bird noises.

- I wonder if each time I dream like that, she's doing it.

- Doing what?

- Cause that's what I was doing when she was doing it.

- Doing what?

- I sure as hell wasn't studying.

- Hell's not certain—only love is.

- Only sex is.  (mocking) there was passion.  

- What do you mean?  You grumpy?

- (groggy) I don't know.  I couldn't sleep all night.

- Why not?

- Because I made a conscious decision not to be able to sleep.

- Grumpy.  Definitely grumpy.

- Eh.

- What were you doing?

- Nothing.

- Were you masterbating?

- I can't believe I ate seven slices of pizza.  It's like a hang over...of consequences.

- Why'd you eat so much?

- That's what happens when your team loses two in a row.

- Oh.

- If you were to flash that number on a screen in my head before I had the pizza, it would be the same effect as flashing the scoreline before the game.

- Why did you get pizza in the middle of the night?

- Why wouldn't I get pizza in the middle of the—ahhh, all that exercise for nothin.'

- It wasn't for nothing.  You released endorphins.  That makes it all worth it.

- What?  Shut up, Today.  

- (whispers) Impulsive.

- At least my heart beats at an optimum level.

- What?

- Nothing—exercise is the worst invention in the history of the world.

- What were you watching?  ESPN Classic?  You know those games are old.

- It was a live game.  

- Not on ESPN Classic.

- It wasn't ESPN Classic!  The game was starting early over there—

- Soccer?

- Football.  It's called, football, Today.

- (whispers) Futbol.

- It was on like at 5.  I wasn't going to be able to fall asleep, anyway.  But I was getting too tired for the game.  I had coffee to stay up.

- You should have had it black.  That curbs your appetite, no problem.

- I did have black coffee—then I had seven slices of pizza.  I thought I'd save the rest—

- Yea, right! 

- I know.  It didn't even keep me up.  Coffee always makes me tired; I noticed that early on when I wasn't doing speed.  Me and her used to joke about it.

- That's probably why you always eat in a hurry, too.

- (soft piano music) And you know what I learned about myself in the process, Today?

- (soft piano music) Yes?

- I'm what's called a chetess.
