Mel You shouldn’t have smacked that guy.

Angry Tashi He deserved it.

Mel He just asked if you had the time.

Happy Tashi That’s all you heard?

Mel Yeah… what did I miss?

Tashi He asked if I had the time, then leaned in and added what he hoped I had the time for.

Angry Mel Argh!

Tashi That is why I hit him.

Angry Mel I’m gonna go hit him!

Happy Tashi Melina, dearling, it is over with now. All done.

Mel Why do guys think they can just hit on anyone?

Tashi Well, mostly because many of them are not clumsy, rude little trolls.

Angry Mel But the trolls should die in a fire!

Happy Tashi Of course, but I am saying they are not the norm.

Mel Still, it’s annoying to know that if I go to a bar I’ll get hit on. It doesn’t matter. I will. Eventually. And it isn’t that I’m extra hot or anything. It’s because I’m female. That’s it. That’s the sole requirement.

Tashi I want to argue.

Mel But you can’t.

Tashi Not particularly. I do feel that it annoys only as much as you let it.

Angry Mel Bah! Ignore it, just use it to your advantage, that doesn’t actually help the matter does it? It encourages it, since no one tries to stop them then.

Tashi Truth’s, one supposes. Still. So many rights to wrong. I have to pick and choose.

Mel Totally! We all do, and just because I might and you don’t doesn’t invalidate either I just… hold on.

Tashi Melina…

Angry Mel In the middle of this conversation? Did you see that?! Did you see?!

Happy Tashi Yes, of course, but it illustrates my point, I feel. If he wishes to behave like a monkey, from a distance even then he… Melina?

Happy Tashi Melina!

Happy Tashi Oh, Melina.

Happy Mel I feel better!

Happy Tashi Where did you learn to head butt like that?

Happy Mel Around. Did I get any blood on me?

Happy Tashi Some, on your forehead, I’ll get it.

Happy Mel Thanks!

Happy Tashi I think perhaps in the future you should make your statements a bit more carefully. however.

Happy Mel Aw come on, he got the message!

Happy Tashi That is true enough, I suppose. But still, you were upset at me for slapping someone and then this?

Mel I could come up with some big special reasoning here, you know.

Tashi You could.

Mel But I just felt like doing it.

Happy Tashi Hooray!

Sad Mel I have a headache now, though.

Tashi Gin will help.

Mel Well, we’ll find out, won’t we?

Tashi Yes.
