You’re in a frivolous mood today.
Sure I am. I’m feeling flighty. Do you like me flighty? Actually, I irritate myself when I’m flightly. I was kinda hoping you could tether me down. Do you ever get like that, when you can’t even concentrate? When your mind’s everywhere at once? I’ll bet you don’t.
Make me serious … Tell me about serious things, philosopher. Turn my attention to what’s actually worthwhile. Actually, I should be practising my German … for my upcoming trip … Did I tell you about that? I’ll bet you don’t even speak German.
I read it.
But you don’t speak it, and that’s the difference. Anyway, my Germany trip is the natural break. The way we’ll come to an end. How about that? A break … that’s what we’ll need. It’ll be quite natural. We should really round things off, don’t you think?
Maybe you’ll meet a German.
Maybe I will. A German Helmut. A strapping lad … properly virile, not like you.
