No.

Youre so cut an dry . .

. . No

Jeez babe

I know you know when a girl say no she means no. No. I won't.

Im tellin yagiven the limitations youve explained to me and that you need to ingest protein it is a plausible option

It is not.

But it is

Because you do itcan do it, doesn’t mean that I can.  Besides, it’s like you to be contrary . .

. . Im not

You are, sweetheart, you always have been; you’re contrary and you’re contrary to provoke and contrast and confrontYES it is your personality, but you have to admit if you aren’t contrary it is a kind or a strain of contrary that you are.

You make it sound like a disease

Ah, but what a beautiful dis-ease you are.

Youre sweetso kind  But youre mistaken

Mistaken?  Am I?

You are

How?

I believe the mistake is in your pronunciation

My pronunciation.

Yes

Yawanna clue me in?

I thought youd never ask

So?

I believe what you mean to say is that I am au contraire  A bit more nasally But you got the nose and if anyone can pull off nasal its you

Man, you’re a pistol.

I am au contraire Im drawn to the con- part I close my eyes and flashcards spring before them au contraire conquest cunt condemn conceive concept cannon condiment cum ceci bon cheatin a little there  con-  convict  I certainly dont lack conviction

OhferChristssake, open your eyes. I’m your sister . .

. . And youve heard all this before

I have, but not in such stark terms. But that’s who you are. And why I love you so much.

Then you know I love you and I wouldnt suggest anything unless I thought there might be a benefit  Anya need protein  Wont you please consider it

I can’t, I just can’t. I don’t know how you do it. Although, I can remember in Rocky, you remember you took me to the movies to see it with you?

Yes  I wasnt seeing anyone and I certainly wanted to share it with someone I cared for It was so much nicer I could share it with someone I love

Oh, you’re so charming.

Ya pickin your panties up off the floor

MyGod, I’m your sister!

Youre still a woman

You’re unbelievable! Unbelievable.   Anyway, back to my story.

Rocky

Yes. I’ll never forget the scene and more so I’ll never forget the incredulity on your face, your utter amazement, you looking around the theatre, even unseating yourself so you could look onehundredaneighty degrees behind you to confirm that everyone but you was aghast. Me included. The wonderment on your face was choice. I’ll never forget it. Never. I have to admit it is one of my most precious memories about you, and you’ve given me so many memories. I’ve forgotten some, but some are indelibly imprinted on my brain. I adore you.

Youre sweet but this is where you say But

Yes. I will.  I can’t forget how shocked you were; you were probably the only person in the movie who didn’t groan, or wretch, you were confused, because what you saw on screen was nothing you'd groan about, nothing you weren’t enjoying. You were confounded . .

. . Another con- baby  confounding . .

. . You’re welcome . .

. . Thank you

You were confounded to learn that you were one of hundreds, maybe one of thousands, maybe one in a million who wasn’t disturbed by Rocky guzzling a dozen raw eggs. But, as you said was coming, but I’m not going to. I won’t. I know you know. I complain bitterly about your loose eggs when we’ve had breakfast together – Make em shake while you walk, you tell waitresses – and you complain about my dry, well-done eggs, my omelets, my once-over eggs.

Nope. Not in this life. I’m not eating eggs raw.
