Not every girl.

Sally Henderson and Ruthie Williams were too busy kissing each other to think about kissing me.

[dysmorphics]

Well, nobody's perfect.

Besides you haven't even counted the boys.

[kalashnikov]

Well, if I was popular with them they sure as shit didn't say anything.

Except for whatshisname. Fuck. Grey eyes, black hair, used to read in the stairwell?

[dysmorphics]

Carl Henderson? Yeah, he only talked to me so you'd talk to him. See, you were popular. We can bring that back.

[kalashnikov]

Huh.

Once again, real eager to marry me off Rogers. You sound just like Ma.

[dysmorphics]

Who said anything about marriage? I'm talking about my art, since you doubted the marketability of your face.

[ Besides, she's moving in, which is the opposite of wanting to marry him off. ]

[kalashnikov]

Do I get a cut if you're selling them?

[dysmorphics]

Of course. How much do you want?

[kalashnikov]

20%.

[dysmorphics]

Okay. Deal.

[ Not that she actually plans on selling them, but she can tease him about it. ]

[kalashnikov]

I need to go to the hardware store too, if you're moving in.

[dysmorphics]

Are you building us a pillow fort?

[kalashnikov]

Could be.

Or there could just be some shit I need to fix up if I've got a dummy living with me.

[dysmorphics]

Oh, babyproofing. Can't just leave your knives lying around now, can you?

[kalashnikov]

Pretty much.

Curious fingers, you know.

[dysmorphics]

So you need me to carry you to and from the hardware store too?

[kalashnikov]

Can't let me get too lazy, Rogers.

[dysmorphics]

Is that part of your new year's resolutions too? Because you can start running with me.

[kalashnikov]

Sam told me you're a real brat on the track.

[dysmorphics]

Oh did he? What a sore loser.

[kalashnikov]

We should sneak up on him when he's running next.

[dysmorphics]

Ooh, I like that. And then he's gonna say you're a brat too. I'm in.

[kalashnikov]

He's said worse.

[dysmorphics]

He called you ugly?

[kalashnikov]

He did say I was goofy-looking once.
