BWAH!

OK, gorgeous dialogue between them. How in hell do you manage to do Munch and Kay and Tim and Frank and get all their voices down like that?????

"I am 100% serious. Serious as a heart attack. Serious as...a prostate exam."

"I am the biggest drunken slut ever."

"No, honey, that can't be true. You haven't dated me yet. I kind of consider that a prerequisite, historically."
" This is true."

Munch looked stricken. "You didn't have to agree so fast. But seriously, Kay, this is California in the 90s, you never know who you're schtupping Hell, this is Sunnydale, you never know *what*. You know? Was it any good?"
"You'll never know. I take it to the grave."
"Good. You'll get another date one day and I'll find out. Or you could really hunt me down like a dog." _END_

suhNERK.

I'm so loving these. I'm beginning to think H:LOTS - just moving the entire squad from Baltimore to Sunnydale - is the perfect crossover.

Thanks. I am honored. And possibly certifiable. But mostly honored.And Daniel, what Deb said about your previous addition...I was left scratching my head, but not offended. I did finally clue in, though.

More Bayliss/Faith He thought he put her out of his mind for a week.It was Wrong, and bad and stupid. But, yet, every day, there she was. He looked forward to every dark-haired stranger on the street. He only put half his mind on The Job, which was so unusual Pembleton noticed.

"Hey, Bayliss, you look like your dog died. More than usual, I mean. And you haven't touched the Watson file in a week. You okay?"

"Yeah...it's complicated."

"Well, simplify it, Cause it's bad enough having a partner without having one with petit mal. We just don't have time for it. Period."
"Your compassion is breathtaking." (Like her eyes.)

"Save it for your mama, Tim." Tim's "mama" would think the girl was trash. Straight out of a trailer park or worse. Definitely not respectable or helpmately, not likely to impress the Rotarians. So young, so damaged. Not Martha Stewart. But Martha Stewart would never break a pedophile's arm in four places.

just caught up.

erika, thanks for writing the faith thing. you did her voice very nicely, and when I say nice I mean dripping with sex and tough. I *never* like cop shows, but you are getting me this close to hunting down some dvds.

victor. my boy.

“It’s like they manufacture them here,” she thought, “and America imports them. Like how all the toys are made in China, but no one there actually buys gorillas that dance to La Macarena or bendy rubber cowboys or whatever. Huh. "

Buffy began delicately folding the spoon into an accordion shape. Terry stopped talking.

These two bits are soooooo perfectly Buffy. I'm running out of ways to say I love it.

But Martha Stewart would never break a pedophile's arm in four places.

snerk.

"Besides, Martha doesn't slay."

"Oh, I hear she can, but she doesn't like to."

From Faith, Hope, and Trick, oh so coincidentally...

It's not your father's cop show, smonster.(But those words don't make sense to me much...I love cop shows. But "Homicide" is a different breed.)

smonster, my take on cop shows is that they either piss me off or leave me yawning. From Hill Street Blues to NYPD Blue? Nothing.

H:LOTS - best damned writing for network television ever.

And the best performed, week after week, stunning ensemble.

And filmed right there, streets and projects in Baltimore, not on some sound stage in Hollywood.

And the best villain ever written for television, in Luther Mahoney.

Really.

These two bits are soooooo perfectly Buffy. I'm running out of ways to say I love it.

Thank you. Wrapping up soon. Going to try to knock out "Terry's Day" tonight, and then the last chapter, in which all is revealed.
