No, they know this girl's parents, and they were looking for an "educated" boy for their daughter, so my name came up, and since she's local, it'd be easy for me to actually get to know her. They know how drama-tastic my family is, though, so they let me decide whether I wanted to meet her rather than passing her name along to them.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I hope she's cool.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I kinda like this as a strategy. Go, Sunil's extended family. Also, Go, Sunil's open attitude.

I hope she turns out to be a girl you enjoy being with, at least, Sunil.
The backstory, Laga, is that P-C's Indian family is determined to arrange a wife for him from women meeting specific requirements. PC, with more American sensibilities, is looking for a woman who loves Veronica Mars. P-C is also a nice guy who doesn't want to disappoint his mother. It's a monumental culture clash.
(I'm just trying to sum up the situation. I don't take it lightly.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
good luck P-C
this is the 4th day of a revolving door headache. I think it is getting better, but by such tiny degrees I can't tell.

Yeah, at the very least, I can steal all her Indian friends and please my dad.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Put this way, it sounds almost Jane Austen-ish (but with Veronica Mars). Good luck, hon!

Ha! It is a truth universally acknowledged...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ha! It is a truth universally acknowledged...
That a hot, smart Indian dude in posession of a staggering crapload of pop-culture knowledge must be in want of a wife.
