where the bosses at

[hasthekeys]

You're cute.

This is cute.

When was the last time you dusted off your Tae-bo VHS tapes? That's what I thought. If you can't keep up with Billy Blanks, you certainly can't keep up with me. I have too much to keep up with for you to keep up with all that, too. My keeping up with things skills would blow your mind.

Is that all? We done here? Good.

Fascinating.

[ this is tony, his chin is resting on his hands. he's staring happy. STARING. ]

You actually think they'll listen to you.

[hasthekeys]

[Don't look at him like that, Boss. They're not in the ring and that's too smug for his tastes, okay.]

Please, Boss, don't be jealous.

[irondick]

Who's jelly? I'm certainly not jelly. Why would I be jelly? Nothing to be jelly of here.

[ SMIRKING. yes. so so so smug. ]

[hasthekeys]

[Looks up.

At the username.

Oh dear.]

At least mine stayed away from vulgarity.

[irondick]

I like it at least, find it appropriate.

[ HUMMING. might be 432864238942634 three sheets to the wind and it's not even 1pm. Oh well, 5pm somewhere. ]

[hasthekeys]

I didn't say it wasn't appropriate, Boss. I mean, it's unprofessional, certainly, but it's not anything you've never heard before. [Not from Happy though no never shh] At least you've got to the point where you embrace it.

[irondick]

[ squinting. ]

Happy, when have I ever been professional? [ this is important. okay. ]

[hasthekeys]

[He has to think.

Not really, he just has to put on the mask of thinking. He's pretty sure he couldn't offend Tony if he tried, but someone in Stark's life has to be professional.]

This feels like a trick question. Can I get a Mulligan on this question? Weren't we going to start golfing this summer? What happened to that? Let's golf.

[ironteen]

Well, this is a little weird.

[irondick]

Golfing? Who said I was golfing... I believe the idea was we get a bunch of my cheerleaders to golf for us. In bikinis. Could be a good publicity stunt.

[ and a good way to have pepper beat you to death, Tony. ]

[manofiron]

VHS? Is this the Eighties? Have we gone back to the Eighties? I hated the Eighties.

[hasthekeys]

I don't think Miss Potts would ever let that happen, sir. No offense intended, but it doesn't seem like the wisest of decisions, all things considered.

[hasthekeys]

[There's something familiar about you, kid.]

Why?

[irondick]

What Pepper doesn't know at the time won't hurt me until after she sees the pictures. I'll be a gentlemen, my hands will remain firmly in my pockets. It'll be an adventure.

[hasthekeys]

[TWO BOSSES!]

They were still releasing new movies on VHS in 1999, Boss. DVDs haven't been around as long as most people think.

Besides, if it was the '80s, Billy Blanks would be wearing leg warmers, and he doesn't seem like the type to do that.

[ironteen]

[That's what they all say.]

Let's just say I wasn't expecting to see you around.

[hasthekeys]

[He's just going to look so, so unimpressed.]

Rule number one about keeping your girlfriend happy: don't have a bunch of cheerleaders play golf while anything is firm in your pocket and allow pictures to be taken.

[okay so maybe he can be smug]

[hasthekeys]

I'm not sure how you mean that. Is it a good weird or a bad weird?

[manofiron]

So you're an expert on DVDs now? When did that happen?

And thank you for the mental image I really didn't need.

[ironteen]

Good weird. Maybe a little awkward weird? But definitely not bad weird.

[irondick]

Why would my dick be in my pocket, Happy? Do you have any idea how awkward that would be?

[hasthekeys]

I'm just going to guess that you're an Iron Man fan.

[ironteen]

[He is doing a really awful job of not cracking a grin.]

I guess you could say that.

[hasthekeys]

I'm whatever you need to me to be, sir.

Apologies.

[He ain't sorry for real tho]

[hasthekeys]

[It looks so, so familiar, too...]

Well, it's hard not to be a fan. He is a national treasure, after all.
