We are very, very disappointed in you. How long have you been home? How quiet have you been? Some friend and/or associate you are.

Disappointed.

Well, how about lunch tomorrow? I've had Rachel this week, so I've had my hands full during my off time so far.

I could even bring her with me. You two haven't met yet, I'm remembering.

Will she cry at me? Or vomit quite often? Maybe we should wait until next week.

She doesn't vomit much anymore, and she only cries if she's particularly disturbed. Or, you know, trying to manipulate you into something. She's a very devious little girl. I think the two of you would get along famously.

Although I suspect if I'm bringing her we should have lunch someplace a little less formal than the Ambassador Grill.

Contrary to what I expect is popular belief, I do not hate children or babies. I just happen to like them about as much as I like most people. Most people who cry and vomit. Perhaps as your offspring she has a better chance of surviving my "wrath".

You do not think she would enjoy the mirrored ceilings?

I think she'd enjoy the mirrored ceiling a little too much, quite honestly. And I think that our favorite waiter would be a bit disturbed if he caught me tying my daughter to her chair.

She has her ways of winning people over. Generally cute TK tricks and kisses. She's really into kissing people. I find it a little disturbing at times.

Wait, perhaps I am translating incorrectly. Are you trying to convince me we need to dine someplace other than the Grill or not?

Hey now. I'm a lady. There will be no kissing on the first date. Unless she's buying me dinner.
