The Foreigner

Hey, as long as there’s good music, good food, and is still going strong when i get off work I don’t care where it’s at.

“Yeah. I might go. Haven’t decided yet. I don’t have a costume or nothing like that.”

So where are the Halloween parties at this year?

“I heard there’s going to be one at some warehouse or some shit.”

A girl’s gotta eat.

“Open invitation to come watch The Get Down with me before it gets added to my ever-growing list of Things Danny Has Fallen Behind On and Will Therefore Probably Never Do, because that would be sad.”

“What the what? You do know that it’s okay to wait, kiddo? Like, some people just don’t lose it until they’re a little older. It’s not that pathetic.”

I have to admit a free meal is worth the horrible date that comes with.

Was it really though, Lynch? Was it really?

“A good answer. Vague, but good. It’s cool to see you…y’know, cool. Maybe I’ll have to throw an actual party later,” he said with a grin.

“Thank you. I tried. If you do, I’d bring some beer.”

“What, you don’t believe that I believe? Oh, ye of little faith.”

“I’m faithful when faith is called for, yeah?”

“Sure, Richard. Anything else?”

“A kiss maybe?”

“Listen love, I don’t make exceptions.”

“How much do you want?” he murmured. “I can give you cash and a little something, you know, extra.”

“It’s what makes it special, or some bullshit like that, right?”

“That’s total bullshit and you know it.”

“Look, last call was awhile ago, I can give you a burger or something but no more alcohol.”

“Come on love. One little exception. Please?”

“Fuck yeah! I mean, it’s a good time for everyone. Shows what this city can actually do right, yeah?”

“it’s fucking lovely, isn’t it? Shame it’s only once a year.”

“It’s just a donation, you get to pick how much you donate. Don’t be stingy, Richard.”

“’m not being stingy. I’m just trying to get all of the information before I make my choice, yeah?”

“You are disgusting. You know that? Oh my God. Are you… do you have a boner?”

“Because I’m enjoying a lovely day? No. No I don’t. These pants are just oddly fitted. Calm down.”
