Gray Matters Page #4

- You know what? Don't get bossy.

- Ow! Ohh.

- Try not to get hurt. Spazzy men are not attractive.

Some spazzy men are attractive.

- Gosh. You're so beautiful.

- Thank you.

- How old is she?

- She just turned three in September.

- Or should I say 21?

- She's legal.

Yeah. I suppose

I should buy her her first cocktail, huh?

Maybe a liver martini

with a beefjerky twist?

- I'm Charlie.

- Hi.

Originally Charlotte, but it always seemed

too long and never quite suited me, so-

I'm Gray. You can't really shorten that

or it'd be "Gra. "

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Do you like old movies?

- Yeah.

- Dancing? Are you athletic?

- Uh-

- Do you watch the Discovery Channel?

- Well-

Do you have a boyfriend?

What is your favorite dessert?

Okay. Um, uh-

Let's see.

I'm a 1940s movie buff.

I love to swing dance.

I've never been

very good at sports...

um, love the Discovery Channel,

"nix-ay" on the boyfriend...

and, well, it's kind of a toss-up.

L- I like cheesecake,

but I kind of love...

those big, gooey

hot fudge sundaes, so-

Get the ball.

Who's that? Look at him!

Oh, you're so cute. What's his name?

- Fluffy.

- Suki.

Fluffy is his first name.

Suki is his pedestrian middle name.

Oh, well, you are so adorable.

- How old is he?

- He's five. - One.

He's one- He's one-five. He's 15.

- This is my brother, Sam.

- Sam.

Sam.

- My sea otter's name is Sam.

- Is your sea otter's name Sam?

- Yes.

- Don't tell me you're one of those people...

that illegally keeps endangered animals

in their apartment, like that guy...

that got caught with

a leopard in his kitchen?

No. I'm a zoologist. I'm doing an

internship at New York Aquarium.

- Ha! That's a relief.

- Free Willy is my favorite movie.

Well, Free Willy 1, 2 and 3.

It's hard to pick a favorite.

And Jaws.

Finding Nemo.

Orca. Orca not so much.

- Do you live around here?

- Uh, sort of, yeah.

I'm staying on

a friend's sofa for right now.

I just moved here from San Francisco

about three weeks ago.

- I love San Francisco.

- Really? Have you spent much time there?

- Have I?

- You've never been to San Francisco.

I know I've never been to San Francisco,

but I know I would love it.

Tony Bennett loves it. He left his heart

there. I love Tony Bennett. There you go.

I have to go home for dinner.

Can I have Flicker back?

Yeah. You can have Flicker Fluffy

Suki back. That's the neighbor's dog.

We just walk him while he takes piano lessons,

'cause we love that dog.

- He's a budding pianist.

- That's so funny. Gypsy's not mine either.

I dog walk on the side

for extra cash.

I should probably

get her back, so-

Oh.

It was really nice to meet you both.
