S- Listen Ms Nice what's the price?
R- Look , i gave you a great review for your new compilation of poetry; how was I to know that my Editor would not publish it? I thought he liked it.He said it was contentious but not bragging or artificial and contrary in a good way. He said it was intriguing to see how the public would welcome it.
S- He just didn't include it in any of the last months publications. Did you get paid for it?
R- Of course
S- Selling -in seems to win for you Randall
R- Don't , just don't
S-Don't look for all the answers when you're not even asking any of the questions!
R- Unfinished business
S- We have lift-off
S- Rae would say 'same old same old'!
R- Can I do the sarcasm here?
S- Are we ever not exchanging wild fits of sarcasm across the pub table?
R- Paying for the drinks?
S-I know ! Bloody sarcasm
R- You're not even close
S-'I can see clearly now the Rae has gone...I can see all the testicles in my way..
R-Oh God! He's singing readers! No fighting ok?
S-I like the move you make when you watch me getting pulverized by some toughs, and then enjoy putting a useless plaster over the bruises and cuts, when I come to.
R- I'm not paying for any more emergency dentistry.
S- Then I'll cut my teeth on something else
R- You can't afford it
S- So where is the poetry?
R- In my Editors hands
S- I worry when you do double- entendres
R- I worry that you've run out of coupons and you're relying on your poetic elan
S- You say some of the most touching, subtle..
R- Just don't get amorous with me
S- For the record: Fuck off to all your assumptions, I'm almost 3 times your age
R- Taming the Daming is my aiming!

R- Der.. When did I learn all this? Ballet and Karate were compulsory in the school I went to.
S- I dread to think which nut house near the Kremlin you learnt your skill set from
R- Home from home..
S- But Randall,I've taken dozens of beatings for you when you could have done your stuff without me as well as without you being hurt
R- Wanted to see the colour of your money!
S- Pain is a friend of mine that I don't want to see on a regular basis -Why do you think i paint and write?
R- Don't look at me like that...look you get it right? He's looking at me in that way of his,see?
S- A lab rat in the experimental world of Randall ..What's your surname again..Sorry I've forgotten

S- No! No Randall! Dmitri ,Sergei and I have always had your back, every left has got your back! And I'm sure Dmitri will join in a toast, well, once he's back on his feet .. in a few.. years .. or decades
R- Good to know! What were you saying about awkwardness again
S- It's iquite a unusual position to be told that I've proposed to a psych..wrong words. Proposed to you at the same 'site' that we first met
No, neither have i. Perhaps that's because we first met in the other side of town
S- That would explain it , or not.You see firstly I would have thought that I would have remembered proposing to someone, and secondly I've never been asked about marriage to anyone, no, not asked,. ordered to marry someone...
R- 26 hours
S- 26 hours?
It'll take you 26 hours to forget this ever happened That's how long it takes you to get your amnesia thing going generally
S- Good to know. Well actually good not to know, I mean at all! Amnesia, I owe you one, or do I?
R- The Pizza incident, or the kidnapping of the lamp-post!
S- We can keep these unidentified flying objects to ourselves can't we?
