You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

That cop's life is not gonna be easy, either. I suspect some kind of forest ranger nickname in his future.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Twiggy"?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Maybe. Although the ultimate cop moniker belongs to a retired LAPD detective nicknamed "Jigsaw" because not long after he joined the detective squad he found and identified a woman from...the pieces. In 1948. The old guys still call him that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dana, you know I'd take his side in the argument...

That was some tennis. Exciting enough watching from a distance on time delay. Some tennis.

What is even happening?

I'm 40. I'm too old to even try to be a cop now, aren't I?

Rock stardom may be beyond your grasp as well.

When was your birthday?

My father fell out of a tree last week. Don't let your age stop you from trying improbable things.

Except, well, he fell. I didn't check to see the last time he'd achieved tree safely, but bully for him at 70 DOING STUPID PHYSICAL THINGS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a question of standards. I have a linen pants suit that I'm planning on wearing to work tomorrow. I've worn it once since it came from the cleaners, so it's wrinkled, as linen does. I could iron it tonight, but I'm pretty sure it will be exactly as wrinkled as it is now by the time I get to work in the morning, no matter what. I mean, right?

Am I just making lazy excuses?

My grandfather fell out of a tree when he was in his early 80s. He was picking apples in our apple orchard. I was about four and I saw it happen. I laughed.

For years, my older brother gave me shit for laughing.

Also, who fucking wears a shawl when it's 95 fucking degrees out?

It is a nice shawl, though. Purple.
