Jeez. Uncomfortable question.  he pulled at his collar

Quit with the theatrics

You don’t think your question is . . ridiculous . untoward?

No Not given our conversation

they were discussing Darkness at Noon written by Arthur Koestler

                                                                       buddy cant resist an opportunity to go to his everpresent iPhone

Quit

     Put it down  I think I remember him, I just want to confirm . .

. . I can confirm whaya like to know   His wife’s name.   Now yare being a pain in the ass   You don’t know.   I don know her name we were discussing him   I know her name.   Good for you   You see then, how valuable . .

. . No  I understand its immediacy an how it compels an undergirds your impatience  If somethings important I can go home later an look it up on my PC

Later.

Yes Later

Do you want to know?

Her name

Yes.

No

   NoId rather you answer the question  Quit dancinround the maypole

An because I don pose questions I woudnt answer first so you understand where Im coming from  No one

                                                                                                                 You

I’m thinking.

                Cynthia, in case he caught the look he gave him in case you wanted to know.

Thank you

Still thinkin 

             Pretty much a kneejerk reflex reaction

Who would I leave with.

Correct

It’s kind of like you dance with the one who brought you.

I don know whatha is

                        I preferhave preferred  leave the dance with the one who brought you  I cant remember a dance I went to that I didnt dance with other women

Why would you do that?

My date  we danced with other peopleyare makin a face   Because you always only danced with the gal you brought

Don’t say it like that, only.

Virtually you said it  I only encapsulated the obvious 

                                                         No matter  Yawanna answer the question Whod you leave with

Double suicide.

Yes

   You ask strange questions.

there is protocol

for every scrap of minutiae

that wrack the skulls 

split hairs

of attorneys  pitching fevered arguments 

debating

pure  unadulterated  fantasies

protocol for adultery

protocol

         interrupted virginity

misplaced virginity

protocol
