- So you want to get some food, Today, before I go and do my thing?
- Uh-oh, you're going to go off and do your thing?
- My good thing, not my bad thing.
- Oh, good.
- So you want?
- I already ate at Costco.
- Pretty smart. A drink and slice of pie is like, what, a buck fifty?
- Oh, that's for suckers. We went inside.
- To buy in bulk? You know you just waste the rest of what you get sick of.
- My tastes always change. I'm very cosmopolitan. I just took care of their samples.
- Oh I see, you made a meal out of the samples, eh?
- Me and my friend felt like geniuses afterwards.
- Classic freeloader maneuver, nice. You didn't just stand around waiting for the lady to heat up the next batch did you? You gotta be subtle about those things, Today.
- No, I stood back an aisle, popped my head out to monitor the tray. I didn't want it to look like I was stalking her corner.
- Would she ever look at you stalking her corner?
- Oh, I'd move my head back behind the roast beef when she caught me.
- Well, then, you can watch me eat. I'll get you a shake or something.
- I had a few of those protein shakes in those small paper cups to wash down my treats...but it just made me thirstier.
- Did you at least buy a drink?
- Well, my friend said he had one of their fountain drink cups we could refill. We drove back to his house to pick it up but we had to get gas on the way back.
- You know, Today, let me tell you a moraled story. One day, I was early to do some commitment I didn't really feel like doing at the moment, right?
- Uh-huh.
- So I excused myself to have a cigarette. My head was getting to me. But you know what I learned on my walk?
- That you're wonderful?
- That I didn't actually need to have a cigarette.
- So you didn't have one?
- Shit yea, I did. I had to hammer this thing out didn't I?
- Uh-oh, you're going to go off and do your thing?
- My good thing, not my bad thing.
- Oh, good.
