Someday they'll put me in a squad card. Someday they'll throw away the key

The house is really... really quiet. I kind of miss that boy.

Mainly because I can't figure out this popcorn machine.

Don't most microwaves have a popcorn button?

[crooked_tongue]

Yeah, but then the plastic melted into the paper.

[walk_in_flames]

Well, you're supposed to take the plastic off first.

[crooked_tongue]

........Oh.

[walk_in_flames]

You really didn't know that? Huh. Cute. You should try reading instructions. It helps usually.

[crooked_tongue]

I'm... a little... challenged when it comes to cooking... of any kind...

[walk_in_flames]

Sticking a bag of popcorn in the microwave isn't exactly cooking.

[crooked_tongue]

Well, it's something I've never been able to do successfully. You should see my attempt at eggs... they come out black. Like my face.

[walk_in_flames]

I think you might have your colors mixed up.

[crooked_tongue]

No, it explodes with a lot of smoke and my face gets black. As does the finished eggs.

[walk_in_flames]

Even I'm not that bad at cooking. Maybe you should hire someone to cook for you?

[crooked_tongue]

Take-out works. It's the same thing.

[walk_in_flames]

I suppose. And take-out's probably cheaper, too.

[crooked_tongue]

Compared to the cost of repairs, yes, take-out is cheaper... tastes better, too.

[walk_in_flames]

From that story about your... blackened eggs, I would imagine anything would taste better.

I actually managed a slightly edible biscuit.... Slightly because it only cost me 5000 dollars to get someone to eat them. Usually it's more.
