4th wall weekend...

[change_just_is]

If you put me there for the weekend, you're going to want to put me there permanently. I know how you think.

[A sigh.]

I haven't been in a game for a year and a half. Let it go.

Comments

[joanie]

And you just know how everyone thinks, don't you Don?

[change_just_is]

In this case, I'm certain that I'm right.

[joanie]

That was rhetorical.

[change_just_is]

I know.

[A pause.]

How have you been, Joan?

[joanie]

Oh, it's been fantastic. (because she so loves being without a game.) For once I can honestly say that we're the same boat.

[change_just_is]

A rare occurrence. Don't you get bored?

[Because he does, despite not wanting to be flung into another game anytime soon.]

[joanie]

Boredom is for when you're dead, Don.

Technically, my social life is though.

[change_just_is]

The conversation has been lacking. Until now, of course.

[joanie]

Oh, you always know what to say.

[change_just_is]

Can you blame me for being happy to see a familiar face?

[joanie]

You picked the right one.

[change_just_is]

You're never a bad choice, Joan.

[joanie]

And to think that you're the only one that I properly trained.

[change_just_is]

I'd argue that that's unfair to everyone else, but you're not wrong.

[joanie]

I work with what I get.

[change_just_is]

Sometimes you get a mess.

[joanie]

And that's why I was hired.

[change_just_is]

I have no idea what we'd do without you.

[joanie]

Lets just entertain the notion that you fell apart while I was on maternity leave.

[change_just_is]

I don't think we'd admit it if we had.

[joanie]

And that's why you're the adman.

[change_just_is]

Because I never admit defeat?

[joanie]

I don't think that's what it is.
