You're jumping the gun!

I like this approach! Why not get started, you've got the initiative part down! You and me? We're like bread and butter, we'll go places! Anyway, look at how much we have in common! I could list them, but we're strapped for time, and I wanted to talk to you about other stuff, Government stuff! Important stuff! Can we talk about that here?

It wouldn't bore people! It's exciting! You see, people don't think it's exciting because they think it's all facts and numbers, but those facts and numbers have a purpose, and that purpose is making a change.

So! Are we going to get to it, or are you going to go back to that old boys' club, establishment elite that you prefer playing? Let's break through the glass ceiling already! We'll be like Madeline Albright, or Hillary Clinton! We'll be perfect. Let's go!

Tension with the boss, mm?

[anewknope]

Occasionally. Ron and I have different points of view.

[enigmaestro]

Am I to assume he's sensible?

[anewknope]

Kind of. Maybe.

Unless you want him to follow regulations. Or support government.

[enigmaestro]

So entirely sensible, you mean.

[Unless, of course, Eddie is government.]

[anewknope]

Sometimes. When meat and his ex-wife isn't involved.

[enigmaestro]

Ah, meat and an ex-wife, hmm? So it's safe to assume he's often on the market?

[anewknope]

That's a good way to put it.

Don't tell him I said that, though. He has a temperament issue.

[enigmaestro]

Are you two courting?

[anewknope]

What? No! Of course we're not! I mean, there was that dream, but that was one time!

[enigmaestro]

Oh dear, a dream.

[anewknope]

Like I said, it was nothing! Absolutely nothing.
