A Conversation From the Bar Scene

Brad: So I take it you're not from around here?

Compact, Cute Boy: No, I'm just here for a week, visiting a friend [points across the room]. I have to head home on Sunday and get back to work.

Brad: Oh? What do you do?

C,CB: I'm a cheerleader for the [professional sports team].

Brad: Wow. That would explain...[makes vague gesture implying "that fabulous body of yours"]

C,CB: Heh, yeah, I guess. And I was a gymast in college.

Brad: You must be very...flexible.

C,CB: I am quite bendy.

Brad: Like Gumby.

C,CB: Yeah. What about you?

Brad: Me? Nah. I'm more...Pokey.
