Tashi Is it me or is it getting late?

Mel It isn’t you.

Tashi So it’s getting late?

Happy Mel There were only two choices, right?

Happy Tashi Fair enough.

Mel Besides I should head out anyway. Jake is coming over tonight.

Tashi Ohhh, the booty call stage has been hit.

Happy Mel No! Sheesh it isn’t like he’s going to just come over and we’ll make love…

Angry Tashi What was that?

Mel Uhm…

Tashi Make love? Why? Why must you use that term?

Angry Mel There’s no need to be rude.

Tashi No one makes love. That term is horrible on so many levels.

Mel Oh do enlighten me.

Tashi First of all it sounds as if you’re building furniture. I would hope the act itself is far more fun that assembling something from IKEA.

Happy Mel I do like IKEA though.

Happy Tashi We all do, truth’s, but not my point. And secondly love? You’re, just using the statement, confusing love and sex. You’re not making love. You’re making, I hope, orgasms. They might be an expression of your love but they are not your love itself, you see?

Angry Mel I was just trying to be polite!

Tashi Screwing, laying pipe, having a conjugal, making the beast with two backs, horizontal mambo, relations, do you see how many other terms you could use?

Happy Mel Some slap and tickle, having a tea party, getting jiggy!

Happy Tashi Getting your freak on, a bit of the old in and out, getting a degree closer to Kevin Bacon…

Happy Mel What?!

Tashi Since everyone is six degrees from him sleeping with someone has a pretty good chance of getting you a whole degree closer.

Happy Mel That’s so wrong!

Happy Tashi And yet so right.

Mel But fine, I concede the point of the term “making love.”

Angry Tashi Thank you. It is a horrible term and should be struck down with all force possible.

Mel I never knew you hated it so deeply.

Tashi But now you understand why I do, at least.

Mel Uhm, yeah.

Tashi Good.

Mel But here’s what I was wondering.

Tashi Yes?

Mel Have you ever really said that Kevin Bacon line or did you just make that up right now?

Happy Tashi I used it to try and pick a guy up once, actually. Hey, I asked him, want to help me get a degree closer to Kevin Bacon?

Happy Mel No!

Happy Tashi Yes!

Happy Mel What did he say?

Tashi He laughed and said no one had tried that one before but that he’s happily married.

Mel Shame, though I don’t know if you want to sleep with a guy who even considered that line.

Happy Tashi Well he was Kevin Bacon.

Happy Mel No!

Happy Tashi Yes! And now you see why I had to try it.

Happy Mel Oh god yes.

Tashi Shame it didn’t work, really.

Happy Mel You’re incorrigible!

Tashi It’s true. I can not be corriged.
