024- RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES ARE FOR SQUARES (LIKE PANTS)

[uberboned]

Three points.

(1. I'm not an idiot. I know what this week is. By all means, have a Southern Baptist-style potluck supper for all I care. I'm not gonna be the little archangel that rained on your religious parade.

(2. In case you're all worried, no, I don't celebrate April Fool's Day. I'm a little more professional than that, thanks. Although, given the sheer number of dick moves people pull on that day, it's my busiest time of the year. ...That and Thanksgiving. I'm not sure why.

Anyway.

(3. I'm dragging Irene into the CES tomorrow. We'll be gone... Oh, a good three or four days. Maybe. If you need anything.... Y'know what? Just don't need anything.

Have a nice camping trip. Sounds like a nice way to get away from the general, you know. Crazy around here.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I don't think nice is gonna cover it, considering I'm gonna have Irene bitchin' in my ear the whole time.

[hulk]

...Well, maybe not all the time. I mean, she'll have to stop to breathe, right?

[...Good lord, was that an attempt at a joke? I think it was. :O]

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Knowing Irene, she'll probably hold her breath until she turns blue just to get me to turn around and take her back.

[hulk]

I'm sure she'd start up again. I mean, before passing out, right? ...Right?

Owes you what? You all get some token in return for your services--what could you possibly want?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

One million dollars. In singles.

[sonotahunter.livejournal.com]

Mm. Don't spend it all in one whorehouse, brother dear.

GDU GABE.

I could do with 'not much of a camping trip'. Or 'no camping trip at all', really.

Video.

[Have a shot of Irene looking steadily at the camera like, REALLY? Really. You reeeally want to go there?]

Video.

[hulk]

[See, Bruce. This is the universe smacking you on the hand for trying to be funny. Bad Bruce. Baaad.]

......Sorry.

Video.

[A bit coldly, but there may be a tiny, TINY twitch at the corner of her mouth.]

Dr. Banner, is it?

Bela speaks - well, 'highly' isn't precisely the word, but then, she's not well-disposed to receive [a short pause, in which Irene blinks unfazed at the camera] kindness.

Video.

[hulk]

Uh, yes, ma'am. I am.

...Miss Talbot talks ab- Oh. [And now Bruce is just kind of wincing at what he imagines Bela's said about him.] I, uh. I don't think she's mentioned you. ...Not to say that she doesn't think highly of you, just that she's never really talked about anyone in particular when I'm around. So it's probably just. Me.

Video. I need to check that line with Jae, so this may get editted later.

[Irene waves a hand, playing it down] Occasionally. Something about sandwiches and - what was it? 'A pathological insistence on courtesy'. Unusual, in these parts, I must say.

[Bruce is tripping over his own conversational feet, and Irene just smiles mildly] I do not require the knowledge that she speaks to others of me to know Bela's feelings, but I do appreciate your, ah - solicitousness.

[hulk]

...Ah. [A kind of self-deprecating shrug.] Y-yeah, that does sound like Miss Talbot.

Oh. Well, okay then.
