Me: So, did you notice the Bon Jovi reference?
Him: Where?
::pokes manuscript::
Me: There.
Him: Oh, I totally glazed over it. You should have put "Call me Young Gun!" instead. That? Is way more evokative.
Me: Really? That's even in there? Because when I think about it, I think of him, guitar, leather vest, no shirt, arms spread and hair flowing, half shouting "SHOT DOWN! IN A BLAAAAZE OF GLORRRAAAAAAAY!"
Him: In front of the abandoned drive-in on the middle of a mesa, right.
Me: Think the middle-of-a-mesa bit had anything to do with the abandoned part?
Him: It couldn't have been that great for business, no.
Me: "Yeah, it's this great new place but the only drawback is you have to have a Jeep to get there."
Him: That's not a drawback.
Me: ...
Him: Goddamn you, now I have that friggin' song stuck in my head. ::affects Bon Jovi:: Call me Young Guuuuuuuuuun, I'm a young gun. YOUNG GUUUUuuuuuUuuuuuuN, yeahaaaayeahyeah!
Me: ...
Him: Oh, shut up. This is all your fault.
Me: I'm not saying anything. It's a good song.
Him: The urge to quote Triumph is strong.
Me: Resist it.
Him: You started it.
