Chapter 7. [voice]

[shes_yourlove]

Terrible evening, isn't it?

[Pause.]

Yes, it is a terrible evening! So cloudy and overcast and just awful!

[Longer pause.]

Yes! Yes, that's what I meant! Oh, it is such a terrible evening! Yes! Awful!

[A frustrated noise.]

No one better join me for lunch! I hate - oh!

[Pause. Giselle's never used the word 'hate' before. Slowly, clearly

Comments

[halfmanly]

I don't think I get what the hell is going on. I-I would dislike to have lunch with you, Giselle.

[shes_yourlove]

I get it! And I don't want you to have lunch with me very much! That would be the worst.

[halfmanly]

I won't explain it when I don't show up. [Sigh.] It isn't confusing, really.

Where should we not uh, meet?

[shes_yourlove]

Good, don't! I don't want you to in the least.

I won't be in the dining room in twenty minutes, and I hope you stay away!

[hisashe]

You're pretty good at being rude, aren't you?

Uh-

I mean, to switch out one jerky comment for another. You're twice as uncivilized as I thought!

And I'd... repeat all of that again.

...I'll just keep talking now.

[shes_yourlove]

I'm the best! And you're ... just as bad as anyone! The meanest!

I hope you shut up forever!

[hisashe]

I won't shut up! What-

But I have nothing to say first! But I d- don't- hey...

D-Don't have too much fun eating alone!

[shes_yourlove]

Good! Don't! See if I care!

I hope you don't come and join me! It would be the most terrible lunch ever!
