“Boss meaning <span class="mu-i">Cliff</span>.”
“That was <span class="mu-i">implied</span>.”
“My <span class="mu-i">mistake</span>.”
“Apology <span class="mu-i">accepted</span>.”
“<span class="mu-i">Thanks</span>.”
“Don’t <span class="mu-i">mention</span> it.”
“Mention <span class="mu-i">what</span>?”
“<span class="mu-i">Exactly</span>.”
Wait, you stammer, your brain still huffing trying to catch up, already?
“<span class="mu-i">Already</span>.” Nods Bones.
“And from <span class="mu-i">now on</span>.” Adds Bones.
“No need to <span class="mu-i">rush</span>.”
“Haste makes <span class="mu-i">waste</span>.”
“Enjoy the <span class="mu-i">party</span>.”
“See the <span class="mu-i">sights</span>.”
“Try the <span class="mu-i">treats</span>.”
“And when you’re ready to <span class="mu-i">talk,</span>”
“You know where to <span class="mu-i">walk</span>.”
The two glance once again in perfect sync over at the <span class="mu-g">DRIVE-IN MAIN BUILDING</span> off in the distance. Guess that’s where Cliff’s hanging out, huh?
“You guess <span class="mu-i">correct</span>.”
“A-<span class="mu-i">Plus</span>.”
“First <span class="mu-i">Prize</span>.”
“Winner, winner, chicken <span class="mu-i">dinner</span>.”
“Kid could be a <span class="mu-i">fortune teller.</span>”
“I’d pay ta’ see it.”
Staring into your soul with their sunglasses-covered eyes, it dawns on you that the two are waiting for a decision to be made. Oh, right.
