Don't artists do their best work when they're in a dark state?
Besides, I've already ordered a Thai feast, isn't that a good start? And not that I'm gonna kink shame your food, but does it really need to be so mouth-watery and provocative?
[Kate audibly gasped.] See? That's where you fucked up! Because Foggy's family I can get. But the church ladies? You love making their old panties feel alive again. Admit it!
No, I was probably a little more wild in my college and early twenties days. I was broke then though and still tried not to be a hooligan, so even then it probably wasn't anything too scandalous.
Forgiveness can't wipe away those mental images you put in my head. You're gonna have to work to remove those.
I wore a scarf over my face once and Jess said I looked like an asshole.
You already do that, so it wouldn't be an act of penance for the transgression now. I'm starting to feel like you don't want to make up for it. Which is fine, I can just have leftovers of that Korean chicken. I'm sure I can find someone who'll appreciate it.
Oh, that's not fair! Everyone looks like an asshole when they're drunk!
... [Kate stutters, unsure of how to get herself out of that corner where she's trapped herself.] What? No, no, of course not. I was just... I was just pointing out that I like doing things for other people. [She groans.] What do you want me to do? Offer to help at the church? I already did!
... we hadn't been drinking. I just didn't want my face shown when fighting. [Was he really this boring that all his exciting stories had to do with Daredevil? He was now starting to wonder.]
I think the duck might like to be groomed. You could promise to go to the farm and give him a spa day.
Of course I'm gonna have to see you with a scarf on your head first. But it sure sounds creative to me. You can even raise the bar matching your socks or tie to the scarf.
That's not a regular spa treatment for a duck. You want me to give him the VIP package. [She considers it.] I think a deal of that kind gives me a free pass on at least a couple more jokes.

What? Why? I - I could have go 'oh, Daddy, give me that kimchi' but I totally controlled myself and I still get punished?
no subject
It almost makes up for what you said next. Almost.
I am banning you from so many meals for forcing me to hear that. Trust has to be rebuilt. Brain bleach is needed.
no subject
Besides, I warned you that you left in on silver platter and then pretended it was not a big deal. You were twisting my arm here, Matthew!

Admit it, you enjoy doing this to people.

I'm not trying to shamefully provoke anything when I cook for Foggy's family or the church ladies!

no subject
Stop, stop it, first the kitchen is ruined and now you're ruining church for me, too.
no subject
Hey, I'm just stating facts here! Not my fault if you do things unconsciously. [She coughed.] Around horny old ladies.
no subject
The more you keep going the longer it'll be before I can cook again for you.
no subject
I thought you said Jesus was very forgiving.

no subject
Fine, fine. Actions are bigger than words, huh? Okay, what's my penance then?
no subject
Good question. I'll have to think on it. Saying some prayers like they do in Confession won't really work for a non-Catholic.
no subject
But isn't that extra work for a non-Catholic? You shouldn't underestimate that.
no subject
Those prayers don't mean anything to a non-Catholic. Penance is meant to be meaningful.
no subject
Should I whip my back instead? And before you say anything, nope, it's not a kinky thing.
no subject
I'd never want you to have physical or mental harm done. Try doing a good deed for someone else. It's not about causing harm, it's about doing better.
no subject
I guess that from now on I'll go out at night to try and save people in the hopes you'll forgive me and feed me, Matt.

[She snorts] You want me to groom Quacker. Really?
no subject
Let him swim in an oatmeal bath. Dry him off with hand-waved palm fronds. Massage his little wings and feet.
