The consistency of coffee.

Was there anything T.S. Eliot said that didn't sound wise and deep and was right?

[lieu_murphy]

Yeah, there was a lot of people. It really drew in the crowds since it was connected to one of those popular TV crime dramas.

...Madame, you have *obviously* never seen Cats

[lieu_murphy]

Musicals aren't really my thing.

[joey_heric]

Well, I assure you that "The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast" did not sound especially erudite.

[lieu_murphy]

Everyone has their off days I guess.

[joey_heric]

I suppose that's true. I will tell you that musical theater is one of life's little joys. I can understand not liking the twee-ness of Weber, but how can you not like Sondheim?

"For we all deserve to die. Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I."

[lieu_murphy]

That's a pretty good rhyme.

[joey_heric]

It is, isn't it? You should give it a chance.

[lieu_murphy]

Thanks, but really, it's not my thing. I just can't stop thinking that no one in the real world bursts into choreographed song and dance.

[joey_heric]

You'd be terribly surprised. I had a client who composed a song about his accusation - a rather catchy one. Too bad the judge refused to allow a piano in the court.

[lieu_murphy]

All right, sane people don't burst into song and dance.

So, you're a lawyer huh?

[joey_heric]

Why, yes. Yes I am.

[lieu_murphy]

Defense or prosecutor?

[joey_heric]

Defense. I see too many innocent people accused - and a prosecutor's job is too...drawn out for me.

[lieu_murphy]

Well, at least you're a step above a divorce lawyer.
