Challenge Nine

I went searching in my "writings" file. The creation date is 3/11/11. I don't even remember writing this, it's just a block of dialogue. Wheee!!
Also, I will not be posting Challenge Eight, as it has possibly evolved from a Challenge to a Project.


“You know, the only reason I bought those polo shirts all those years ago was because I remembered you once said you enjoyed a man in a polo.” “Really?” “Yeah. I never actually wore them though, my sister said I looked horrible in polos.” “You do.” “Hey!” “I’m sorry, I can’t deny the truth. Your sister was right.” “...I guess.” “She’s also been wrong about a lot of things too, like how she says marshmallows are horrible on toast.” “Oh, I actually will have to agree with her on that.” “I suppose that’s one place we differ then.” “Well uh, I guess that they’re not so bad on toast! I mean, uh-” “Look at you, changing your opinion just to appease me. Although I’m flattered, you really don’t have to do that.” “No, it’s just that, now that I’ve thought more about it, I’ve...” “Yes?” “Oh, nevermind.” “...I didn’t actually mean what I said you know.” “What?” “The polo thing. When I said it I wasn't being serious. I was trying to make you jealous of that one guy who wore them all the time.” “Who?” “I dunno, I forgot his name. Started with ‘J’ I think. Can’t be sure though.” “I don’t remember any guy whose name started with ‘J’.” “You can’t even remember two hours ago.” “Yes I can!” “Well, what were we doing then?” “Huh?” “Two hours ago?” “We were, uh... driving, on our way here?” “No, we were eating at that diner you stopped by.” “Oh, you can’t be sure of that.” “But I can. I remember glancing at my watch, and it said 10:32, and right now it’s half past noon.” “Still, that is a bit strange of you, constantly checking the time.” “You think it strange, I think it productive.” “You have no grammar.” “Touché.” “What would you do if I threw that watch out into the ocean right now?” “I’d yell at you, scream at you, and kick you in the groin so hard your privates would shrink... and then I’d make you go out and get it. It’s waterproof.” “Oh, well then.” “Yes, I know. Astounding isn’t it?” “Not really.” “Eh, I tried.” “...You look really beautiful in that dress.” “Thank you, it was my mother's.” “Why don’t you wear dresses more often?” “Why don’t you wear those nice vests I like more often?” “...I see your point.” “Glad you do.” “So, you like nice vests, but not polos?” “Yes.” “Huh.” “...Why huh?” “Oh, I dunno. Just seems weird to me.” “Thank you darling, I always wanted to be called weird.” “No, I didn’t say you were weird, I said your preference of men’s clothing was weird.” “Ah. Nonetheless, I heard the word ‘weird’.” “Is there something wrong with the word ‘weird’.” “Yes, it’s weird.”
