The puzzles are rigged. The paper has to go.

What? I know it's not an efficient use of energy running the dryer but they just come out softer this way and I refuse to have the lingering scent of a neighbor's poor barbecue tactics attaching itself to something I dry my face on.

I don't see a point in this. You know they'll make a new one.

Ed, relax. You can use the dryer. We can afford to do that. That wasn't even why I said something.

Not everyone the works there is immortal, are they? One has to know.

Why then?

By some definition we may all be immortal here and we both know that isn't the real issue. Is making a mess really the best idea?

Um, nothing. It would be weird to say now that we're talking about blowing people up.

Are you talking me out of it?

Hardly. Go on.

What would you do if I was?

I was trying to act like I didn't think your reason for saying home was cute but I do. There. I said it.

Consider the options.

Cute?

You're not picturing me in an apron or anything, are you?

Best get to that consideration then.

No. Did you want me to?

You would've did it if they insulted you.

It wouldn't be a fictional image but I'm not entirely sure I benefit from this being appealing to you. I'll get lumped into a stereotype of being the adorable housewife.

Maybe, but I have you to talk me out of impulsive choices. I'm returning the gesture. There's also that I don't know how to build a bomb.

There's not saying it can't be our secret. Besides, I wouldn't be so disrespectful as to lower you to that position. We're equals, correct?

I could teach you if you'd like.

Correct. Thank you for not having an insulting fantasy.

As much as I would enjoy learning, you're diverting the topic at hand.

I was hoping you would know by now that I wouldn't. I have no intention of demeaning you.

This is the topic now.

I know. :)

No, it's not. It's an additional topic.

Well then, I'm glad to hear so. :)

The first topic has ended. You don't want me to do it.

How cute exactly?

That doesn't always stop you. Mostly, but not always.

Enough that I wish I could return sooner because it made me miss you more than I already do. How should we rank that on the scale, I wonder?

I got bored and it bothered me. But not that much.

You're missing me while I'm talking to you? Oh gosh.

I had an inkling this was something to do with boredom.

I may be. It's not the same as hearing your voice or being there. Why? Is that embarrassing?

You're correct, as usual.

No. Yes. I don't know.

I suppose coming home early is always an option if you would happen to miss me as much as I do you. I did get quite a bit done today. What do you think?

You don't know or don't want to say what you know?

I think it's too hot to work in the conditions you do.

The topic was a bomb, I believe...

Do you want to know what I think? You miss me back.

Oh? Is it? I thought you were the one to make the distinction that our first topic was exhausted.

I only wanted batteries.

No, let's revisit it. I'm going to teach you. First you get potassium nitrate, charcoal, sulfer, and dextrin.

You just used past tense.

You can't teach me over the phone, Ed.
