Hey, um, you don't write manifestos, do you?
What do you mean?
Tracts, screeds, ideological rants, anti-technology mantras hating on mechanizations and machines in industrial society? I mean, you don't just write those, do you?
No.
I just think critical perspective is really important, that's all, for everything. You know, my dad - when he runs out of staples, he throws out the entire stapler. I'm sorry. I go on. I just feel the need to let conversations linger. It's like I don't know how to end them. You know, my friend Sarah - she says for my birthday she's gonna get me a carton of periods. The punctuation mark, not the menstrual cycle. God, a carton of menstrual cycles. How do you even wrap that?
I don't know.
Pizza Girl: Yeah. Um, your pizza's getting cold, so... um... I should go. See you later.
Yeah. I'll see you later.
Your eyes...they're off the hinge.
What?
They're beautiful...and...I should know...because I get a lot of looks.
