Mike, on the other hand, stand in the midst of a crisis of infinite proportions. The very fate of the universe as we know it hangs in the balance. A hush washes over the room. Tension mounts causing a slight chill in the air.
Or maybe that's just the result of the open freezer door.
His voice drops a few registers as he makes a simple catch of the spoon.
"What's your dream? This is Hollywood. Everybody's got a dream. What's your dream?"
One anime leap later, and he's on the other end of the squashy couch.
"Here's a little secret for you. Know who loves this movie? Splinter. It's one of his favorites. This one time? I saw him and Casey watching it together back in NoHo."
"And crap, I forgot popcorn. Be right back, but don't bother to pause. The camera pan of her legs takes forever and I've seen it. Just don't go to the Blue Banana without me!"
There's going to be a Mel-welcome back party at one point, damnit.
"Oooh, pretty car, pretty man, craptacular driving. Richard Gere so can't handle his stick. Maybe they should have given the shaft a furry covering, it probably would have helped."
Lilly's gotten used to Mike's abuse of snack food. She doesn't even blink.
"I think it means, like, doesn't... oh hell, I have no idea. It means Julia Roberts knows about cars and Richard Gere just knows how to look confused."
She laughs suddenly.
"Oh man, I forgot she totally gropes him in the car! They never show that part on cable."
"Hey, you watching animal porn on the Discovery channel is no different from me watching The Playboy network. And besides, how were we supposed to learn about people if we didn't watch tv?"
"Ew, I so totally never watched animal porn," Lilly says, wrinkling her nose.
"And man, if all you saw was the Playboy network, you must have been really disappointed when real people failed to have spontaneous outbreaks of sex all the time."
She glances at the screen.
"Like they're going to, for instance. Right after she mutes the show, though, because having sex while Lucy cries is only fun if you're Desi Arnez."
"Someone has clearly never been to the shadowy parts of Central park at two in the morning. It wasn't until we met April that we really realized that the world wasn't like tv. ... Lucy's hot."
"Well she does have that whole pancake eating technique going for her, but that doesn't negate the inherent hotness that is a woman who can make you laugh. And let's face it, Lucy's that and a bag of chips."

"So, what're we watching today? A tale of daring do? Or a comedy of derring don't?"

"Of course, I'm speaking of Pretty Woman."

Date: 2005-09-22 08:16 pm (UTC)Mike whispers conspiratorily, as if Splinter were anywhere within earshot.
"So are we being serious about this one? Or are we totally going the MST3K route? And more importantly, where's the cheese popcorn?"

Date: 2005-09-22 09:09 pm (UTC)"Considering some of the scenes I've freezeframed in my day, I can't say I doubt you."
She looks thoughtfully at the screen.
"I need boots like that. I wouldn't wear them with that skirt, though."

"You think Lucy's hot, huh?"
She shrugs.
"Well, whatever stomps your grapes. I'll take Julia Roberts as my redhead of choice- like, just in this robe eating breakfast? Totally hot."
