Old Friends
[Midday in Manhattan; Telephone call between Yorkville and Tribeca*]Â
Me: You’ve never seen Infamous?
Fossil Darling: I’ve never seen Infamous. Do you have it?
Me: Of course.
FD: Then I’ll borrow it from you.
Me: Sorry; I don’t lend books or DVDs anymore.
FD: You lend them to me.
Me: You can come over here and watch it. We’ll have popcorn.
FD: I don’t want to spend that much time with you.
Me: You admit it!
