Okay picture this: Bill Murray. He's made up like a zombie or whatever but who the hell cares? It's Bill fuckin' Murray and some guy who looks like a rough neck drifter Woody Boyd. Toking up. Together. Playing Ghostbusters.

With me. With motherfuckin' me.

I gotta sleep after car bombs and cereal bars again.

[boutant]

He's good with a pair of tweezers.

[orangetoughguy]

You gotta get shit plucked out of your hand and you're worried about Mary Poppins?

Wait I get it. You don't want him to know.

[boutant]

It was glass. It's not like I got shot or something. [ Oh. God, no, Ariadne, don't think about Saito's blood. ]

Why do you call him Mary Poppins, anyway?

[orangetoughguy]

I'll give you that, don't ever got shot.

[That's the voice of experience talking but anyway moving on to Mary Poppins.] A friend of mine coined it, don't ask me why. You want one too?

[boutant]

Is that common around here? [ She was stabbed once, though. Oops. ]

I'm a little terrified of what will happen if I say "yes".

[orangetoughguy]

You know for all the shit I've been through I gotta say it ain't.

[Trying bleeding from a bullet to the stomach for the whole movie hours.]

Names don't work that way, Frenchy.

[boutant]

Small favors.

[ No thank you, she's good with staying in one piece. ]

"Frenchy"? Is that really the best you can do?

[orangetoughguy]

You think you can do better?

[boutant]

I know I can.

[orangetoughguy]

Names in French don't count.

[boutant]

I can do more than speak French, you know.

[orangetoughguy]

You tellin' me you got more skill than drawing buildings?

[This is how Freddy casually gets information about errrrybody.]

[boutant]

Do you have more skill than coming up with terrible nicknames?

[ He'll have to compete with her curiosity for the privilege. ]

[orangetoughguy]

I fix cars and I can name every single planet the Fantastic Four's ever been to.

[He likes him a challenge, especially with little girls. Nevermind that they're only 5 years apart.]

[boutant]

[ Call her a little girl outloud and she'll hurt you. She's at crotch-mangling height. ]

You sound way too proud of that last fact.

[ Don't mind her not answering your question. ]

[orangetoughguy]

Don't piss on the Fantastic Four, at least I'm proud of something.

[Poke and prod, but really it also keeps her talking about stuff that's not her hand because he does read the network and if it were him he'd want to talk about anything else but his accident.]

[boutant]

I'm not pissing on the Fantastic Four. [ She's pissing on his jizzing on the Fantastic Four. ] And I'm proud of things.

[ Oops, here comes her ego. ]

[orangetoughguy]

[After all the pissing on his Bill Murray cheerios gosh guys.]

I'll give you goin' to Paris. That's a freebie. What else you got?

[boutant]

[ Nothing is safe from the piss of the network. ]

It's not just going to Paris. It's living there, studying there, for five years.

Does fluently speaking French count, or is that another freebie?

[orangetoughguy]

[He can barely speak Spanish and he's been in California all his life so...]

Anything not French? Cause I mean for someone who doesn't agree with being called Baguette...

[boutant]

[ Do you even know what a baguette is, Sunny D? ]

Power tools. Bandsaws, drills, welding, you name it.

[orangetoughguy]

[It's like bread and shit in a bag that sticks out of a bicycle basket. But wait! This actually takes him by surprise.]

Bullshit. What do you need to know that shit for?

[boutant]

[ She's so proud. Both of his knowledge of carbohydrates and of herself, for surprising him. ]

Architects do build models, you know. [ There's a slight shrug. ] Besides, I had to take some electives other than art. Why not shop?

[orangetoughguy]

[There's some mild skepticism here but only because he's a dude and dudes are supposed to appear skeptical of chicks who know tools. Secretly he's kind of fascinated because Orange builds models too...not quite the ones she does though.]

Drill press? Panel saw? Sand belt? Arc welding?

[boutant]

A five-year-old could use a drill press. But yes, all of the above.

I'm usually stuck with paper and cardboard these days, though. The time crunch is too intense and materials are too expensive.
