Percy (to Poppy): Oh... You don't have to do that, honey.
Poppy (to Percy): No, no it's fine, honey. While I'm doing this you can tell me what the hell you were thinking going after Gideon on your own...
Percy (to Poppy): Oh... I had a feeling you were going to bring that up.
Poppy (to Percy): You're very astute... for a big dumb apparently suicidal robot, honey. Now, spill.
Percy (to Poppy): No need to be insulting, honey... I just didn't want you or Vincent to get hurt. You've got a little one to think of, now.
Poppy (to Percy): Oh... That was oddly thoughtful of you.
Several hours later:
Lulu: Ye gods, If one more jackass, I mean gentleman, asks me if the carpets match the drapes, I will punch someone.
Vincent (to Lulu): Um, hey, hun. Do you need a drink? You look a little murderous.
Lulu (to Vincent): Geez, these tour-ons are bloody annoying. I didn't realize it was 'Bring Your Douche to the Club' day.
Vincent (to Lulu): Good heavens. Heh. There was a mental image I could have lived the rest of my life without. What do you need?
Lulu (to Vincent): Oh, I'll just have a gin & tonic... It's so weird being on this side of the bar.
Vincent (to Lulu): Heh. Well, take advantage of it. All the other DJs certainly do. Don't let the tour-ons get under your skin too much.They'll get bored and bugger off soon enough.
Lulu (to Vincent): Heh... I should enjoy it. Oh... damn. There's the boy who stood me up. Can I hide behind the bar?
Vincent (to Lulu): It might be hard to DJ from behind the bar .If it could be done, I'll bet my sister would be an expert. Who stood you up?
Lulu (to Vincent): Shhhh, not so loud... It's that boy in the suit.
Vincent (to Lulu): Who? PERCY? Oh good heavens. Of course. To be fair to him, hun, he did have a, uh, a family emergency pop up the other day.
Lulu (to Vincent): Percy? That's his name. We were just supposed to have coffee, it's no big deal but I've never been stood up before.
Vincent (to Lulu): Heh. I would imagine not.
Percy (to Vincent): Hey honey, can I get a fuzzy navel for Wanda & gin & tonic for myself?
Vincent (to Percy): Of course, hun. Be up in a second.
Percy (to Vincent): Thank you, honey.
A few minutes later:
Vincent (to Percy): Here you go. And before you ask, YES, Delia made the fuzzy navel. How are you feeling?
Percy (to Vincent): Better, honey.
Vincent (to Percy): Good to hear, hun. I think you owe our current DJ an apology, by the by. Apparently, you stood her up.
Percy (to Vincent): Oh? I did? Oh my goodness, I totally did. Well, this is a bit awkward.
Vincent (to Percy): I told her you had a bit of a family emergency.
Percy (to Vincent): Oh well, that was nice of you... Really, it was that I got a bit distracted with Wanda & completely forgot...
Vincent (to Percy): I assumed it was the whole Gideon mess that threw you off. For heaven's sake, don't tell her another girl distracted you! You used to be a girl, hun. Just don't tell her anything you wouldn't want to hear. God's speed!
Percy (to Vincent): Oh yeah, you're probably right. (to Wanda) Hey pretty lady, could you please excuse me for a minute? I need to go make my apologies to someone.
Wanda (to Percy): I think I could be persuaded. Especially if you come back with another one of these fuzzy-whats-its. This is totes delish!
Percy (to Wanda): I will, honey, you can count on it. (to Lulu) Hi there, honey... I'm really sorry about coffee the other day.
Lulu (to Percy): Oh... Percy, wasn't it? Did we have plans? I had completely forgotten.
Percy (to Lulu): Oh well then, my mistake... Sorry to have bothered you.
Lulu (to Percy): Really? That's all you have to say? Wait...Are you here with your girlfriend & you came over here to talk to me? Silly boy.
Percy (to Vincent): Look, honey, I just came over to apologize. I didn't mean to stand you up, but I really don't have the energy to play games, so you can either accept it in the spirit it was intended or not. But, I should get back to my friend.
Lulu (to Percy): Oh... (to Vincent) Well, that was unexpected... That Percy's not like other boys, is he?
Vincent (to Lulu): Good heavens... Not even slightly, hun.
Percy (to Wanda): Here's your drink, pretty lady.
Wanda (to Percy): Thanks! So what was the deal with the cutie patootie DJ. She works in the pagan bookstore too, ya' know.
Percy (to Wanda): Oh, we had planned on meeting up for coffee, but I got a bit distracted by wild monkeys, honey.
Wanda (to Percy): Oh! Hee hee. Sorry! Want me to go say sorry on your behalf? :-P
Percy (to Wanda): Oh no, honey, that's not really necess... You're totally going over there anyway, aren't you?
Wanda (to Percy): Yep. Who knows? You may thank me later. :-P
