"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

You're the one pursuing a taken woman for, apparently, the attention of her boyfriend. That's the framework.

[ferrisbuellean]

Don't flatter yourself. I'm persuing her because she's hot and she keeps coming onto me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Honestly, Jeff, I thought you were smarter than to fall for her more blatant manipulation. I mean, you at least don't go around calling yourself Star-Lord. I stand corrected.

[ferrisbuellean]

It's not really manipulations when I'm getting something out of it too. It's more like mutual exploitation. Pretty much what you and I have going, except I don't wanna sleep with you.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Useful to know. I feel exactly the same way -- as in, I don't want to sleep with you. It's a pretty predictable scenario, isn't it? Almost like I anticipated your reaction and used it in this dilemma.

Like you said: exploitation. Except without the mutual part, what are you getting out of this again?

[ferrisbuellean]

That's the great thing of getting to know people, Frederick. I don't have to get anything out of our relationship immediately, but I know I'll have the possibility of calling on you whenever I want. It's basic synergy.

[slightlyoffchilt]

What a great perspective, Jeff. I'll be happy to discuss it in length during one of our sessions.

Which you are still obligated to attend.

[ferrisbuellean]

I wouldn't miss the opportunity to see you again. We can discuss it all you want. And maybe we can discuss why you hate sharing.

[slightlyoffchilt]

We won't be discussing that.]

[Jackals don't share!!]

[ferrisbuellean]

[Not even from one sly dog to another?]

Is it her you don't trust or yourself?

[slightlyoffchilt]

[Tempting... But...]

Are you analyzing my motivation, Jeff? And without a couched sedan?

[ferrisbuellean]

I'd never do such a thing, Doc. I'm not the pysch major. My job isn't to judge, merely to defend. And maybe just occasionally accuse.

[slightlyoffchilt]

So I should reframe? What are you accusing me of, exactly?

[ferrisbuellean]

Nothing, except being overly defensive. Maybe one day it'd be nice for us to have a talk where we both learn a few things about each other, that's all. You know. Like a normal conversation.

[slightlyoffchilt]

A normal conversation? In the company of canned beers, and "the game"?

[ferrisbuellean]

You don't exactly strike me as an avid sports viewer.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I have formally referenced "the game", I think that qualifies me for the experiment.

[ferrisbuellean]

[It's a difficult thing to decline without displaying his general disinterest in sports viewing. He's created this whole persona for himself, he has to stick with it.]

I know a few good sports bars. Or we could go to your place. I bet you have a good TV.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Would this be my government housing, or the new place I'm about to move into?

[ferrisbuellean]

Whichever has the better TV. Yay sports.

[slightlyoffchilt]

What sports are we watching, again?




Golf?

[ferrisbuellean]

Is that seriously your pick? I mean I was thinking more like football or soccer or basketball, but if you'd rather watch men in offensive clothing knock balls around then that's fine. You probably relate to the fashion choices.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You'd rather watch men in revealing clothing knocking each other around?

[ferrisbuellean]

Well I guess gay porn is always an option.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I know you intended that as ironic, but I'm going to analyze it regardless.
