Rich: Paul, I am *not* psyched to start working again. Paul: It sucks, don't it? R: You know I have a problem with authority. P: I hate your fucking face. R: What? P: Nothing. R: I fight authority P: Authority always wins. John Melon Cantaloupe. R: Hee. I like that. I'm keeping it. P: Typical. R: I bought a coffeemaker today. P: Cool. French press? R: No. P: Vacuum-pot? R: No. P: Lithuanian suspension-flip? R: Nah, this lady in front of me got the last one. P: Automatic drip, eh? Mr. Coffee? R: No. P: Braun or Krups? R: Krups. With one of those permanent filters. P: Oooh. Espresso attachment? R: Why must you pressure me so? P: Thermal carafe? R: Bone me! P: You know what's the best? A nice cup of latte. R: Paul, I'm not 18 anymore! I just can't work up that kind of froth. P: Heh. Rent a video. R: It's not the same. Hey, have you seen 'Black and Born to Buttfuck'? P: Like who hasn't. How do you make latte, anyhow? How do you pronounce it? R: They take cold spring water and use pressure to force it through beans that no human hands have ever touched, for the perfect cup of coffee every time. P: Are you for real? R: I have no fucking idea. I still think latte was that guy from Taxi. P: Hey, on the new REM album, there's a song about Andy Kaufman. R: Man on the Moon. P: You hear it? R: Picked it up on the street. P: Hey Rich, what is it? I mean, I buy the albums, I watch the videos, I memorize the lyrics, I do all of it, but TLC just don't have anything to say to *me*. R: You are fucked. You need a healthy dose of INXS and U2. P: I'll kill you. R: You know, things seemed so much better back when I liked Sting. P: You wanna go drinking. R: Let's go paint the town velvet. RICHH
