Vincent (to Lulu): More or less. Fortunately more than less.
Lulu (to Vincent): So, your lady wasn't too upset about the kiss? That's good.
Vincent (to Lulu): Oh no. She was royally upset about the kiss. She wasn't too thrilled about the photo either. But, fortunately, she loves me.
Lulu (to Vincent): Is that why you're dressed a bit more subdued tonight? You look practically parochial. Oh, and just so you know, Delia called out, so Mouse is working behind the bar with us... Ripper & Leon are spinning.
Vincent (to Lulu): Oooo! Excellent! I haven't worked with my sister in what feels like forever. And, parochial? Moi? Oh, I get it now. You were trying to make a joke. Very cute. Yes, I am quite the pride of the parish. :-P Besides, leather pants in THIS weather? I'm not that big a slave to fashion.
Lulu (to Vincent): Heh, I am, if it means better tips.
Vincent (to Lulu): I've always found bending over a lot more than compensates for any fashion faux pas.
Lulu (to Vincent): I've been yelled at for that... Apparently, Delia thinks my skirts are too short. She keeps calling them band-aids. :-p
Vincent (to Lulu): Oh dear. Well, don't feel too poorly about it. They put the kibosh on my assless chaps once upon a time.
Lulu (to Vincent): Oh? That's a shame... I have a great pair of purple ones. I'll go finish stocking the beer cooler.
Vincent (to Lulu): Sounds good, hun. I'll get the glasses sorted up here.
Mouse (to Vincent & Lulu): Hey there! I'm glad to see you both in one piece after last night.
Vincent (to Mouse): Have no doubt, hun. It was a close call. I'm on late night baby feeding for the next two months.
Lulu (to Mouse): What do you mean? I didn't get kissed once, last night.
Mouse (to Vincent): Oh... That's pretty rough, but at least she didn't kill you. :-p (to Lulu) That's not why... Oh, nevermind... Um, are you even wearing a bra with that shirt? ... This is going to be a long night.
Lulu (to Mouse): Ye gods, you sound just like my mother... And yes I am. I promised Delia I wouldn't do that anymore after last time. :-p
Vincent (to Mouse): I think I very nearly could have been forgiven... if the person taking the picture hadn't worked for the Indy Weekly and put it up on their website.
Mouse (to Vincent): Oh, that would explain the line at the door... (to Eep) Hey, can I bum a smoke before we let folks in? I think I'm going to need it...
Vincent (to Mouse): What? What line? Oh good God... This is going to be long night.
Eep (to Mouse): Sure. What's up? Lulu flirting with you again?
Mouse (to Eep): Thanks... Is comparing me to her mother flirting?
Eep (to Mouse): Heh. I'd say definitely not. Gimme a hug before you go back. It looks like we're gonna be busy tonight.
Mouse (to Eep): Yeah, feel free to sneak behind the bar for a hug later... If you want. :-)
Eep (to Mouse): Heh. I could maybe be persuaded. I gotta go. Stay strong. Just keep reminding yourself that you could take them in a fight. :-p
Lulu (to Ripper): Hey handsome, do you or Leon need anything before we open the doors?
Ripper (to Lulu): We're good, thanks. And, you should really think about toning it down a bit.
Lulu (to Ripper): Where would the fun be in that, sexy?
Ripper (to Lulu): Save it for the masses.
Vincent (to Lulu & Ripper): Meow! Shall I bring over a saucer of milk? Sheathe the claws you two.
Lulu (to Vincent): Oh, don't worry! I wouldn't waste this much fabulousness on him... More than once, anyway. ;-)
Ripper (to Lulu): Very classy... (to Lulu & Vincent) I'm going to go work, now.
Vincent (to Lulu): Heh. Well now. I've never seen anyone get under the Professor's skin like that. Oh... Heh. Except perhaps me.
Lulu (to Vincent): Oh, so you slept with him, too?
Vincent (to Lulu): Wouldn't you like to know.
Lulu (to Vincent): So, that's a no, huh?
Vincent (to Lulu): That would be a no. Wait. "Him too?"
Lulu (to Vincent): Wouldn't you like to know? ;-)
Vincent (to Lulu): Good heavens. How do these rumors even get started? Oops. Looks like Slim is opening up the doors. And people are coming through already? ON TIME GOTHS? The world is clearly ending.
Lulu (to Vincent): Wow... There aren't any rumors about you. I mean, other than the one about you & Eep... And EVERYONE knows that's a lie.
Mouse (to Lulu & Vincent): Any chance you two could stop flapping your gums & oh, I don't know, make some drinks for people?
Vincent (to Lulu): Hee hee. Already barked up that tree, did you? Uh oh... time to get working! (to Mouse) Sorry, hun!
Mouse (to Vincent): Just don't let yourself get swept up by Hurricane Lulu...
Vincent (to Mouse): Heh. She's quite the tempest in a teacup, isn't she?
Mouse (to Vincent): That's an understatement of the year, little brother.
Vincent (to Mouse): Hee hee. Well, you know me. I'm apparently a quiet, subdued thing.
Mouse (to Vincent): Well, all I know is that what I found funny when you did it is incredibly irritating when she does it.
Vincent (to Mouse): Well, it is hard to compete with my charm.
Mouse (to Vincent): Oh god, please don't try to compete... The world might end. Besides, I like you as you are.
Vincent (to Mouse): Hee hee hee. I'm really tempted to claim you're just saying that, and you DESPERATELY miss my Perv routine... But seeing it from this side, I seriously doubt that. Good heavens. How did y'all ever endure me?
Mouse (to Vincent): A lot of booze, mostly... :-p
Vincent (to Mouse): May your liver forgive me.
Eep (to Vincent & Mouse): He said y'all again.
Mouse (to Vincent & Eep): Yeah, his voice is a little huskier, too.
Eep (to Mouse & Vincent): Heh. It's like he's going through puberty finally.
Vincent (to Mouse & Eep): Hee hee. I've missed you two too. Besides, who knows? Maybe I'll even get taller.
Mouse (to Vincent): That would be awful... I like calling you little brother. Besides, being tall & gangly is Eep's job. :-p
Vincent (to Mouse & Eep): GANGLY? Moi? As if! Alas, I don't think I shall ever be tall or broad. It's alright. I don't mind being bitty. I like to think of myself as fun sized. :-P
Mouse (to Vincent): Heh. You've got another fan over here that wants to chat with you... I'll go get his drink made.
Vincent (to Mouse): Duty calls!
A couple hours later:
Lulu (to Eep): Hey, Mouse sent me to bring you guys some water & so I can have a clove. Do you need anything else?
Eep (to Lulu): Nah. I'm good.
Lulu (to Eep): Still mad at me, huh?
Eep (to Lulu): Uh, yeah. You're heartbroken over it, I'm sure.
Lulu (to Eep): I am! I had no idea that you were married... Heck, I didn't even know that you guys were an item. You both are very discreet.
Eep (to Lulu): Yeah, well, I thought the wedding ring might be a clue.
Lulu (to Eep): It would have. if I didn't sometimes wear one, myself.
Eep (to Lulu): I... Christ. I don't even know what to say to that. Shouldn't you be inside making drinks instead of out here bugging me?
Lulu (to Eep): You're right, I should head back in... Stop being mad at me, grumpy pants!
Eep (to Lulu): Yeah. Yeah.
