James writes constitutional amendments

Rebecca:
stop making me laugh you bastard

James:
Oops.
Sorry.

Rebecca:
are you sure?

James:
*correlates ledgers*
*publishes profit and loss statements*

Rebecca:
strange boy

James:
I'm being an accountant!!!!
*accounts*
*accounts some more*

Rebecca:
don't, I might not love you any more

James:
*accounts head off*
*accounts like the wind*
You don't love me when I account?

Rebecca:
urm... I take the fifth

James:
What's wrong with the fourth?
Everyone always ignores the fourth.
...and the third, for that matter.
The third is a prick, though, and a really mean drunk.
The fourth is awesome, though, and I feel it doesn't get the recognition it deserves,

Rebecca:
I don't even know what they all are!

James:
Urm...

The first is the right to put a gerbil in a toaster...

The second is the right for gerbils not to be put in toasters.

The third is something to do with gerbils having the right to carry concealed weapons in case someone tries to put them in a toaster.

The fourth is a constitutional recognition of the right of all citizens to sing in the shower.

Of course, felons are not entitled to the protection of law, so prison showers have strict no-singing policies.

Many refugees flee to America from nations in which shower singing is not protected by law, and even actively prosecuted.

Rebecca:
...right

James:
It's true! Ask Nadia!
...and if she says no, ignore her.
If she says yes, though, then she's obviously smart and knowledgeable like me.

Rebecca:
She also pleads the 5th

James:
I don't know what the right to glue polka dots on a llama has to do with anything.

Rebecca:
She's away gluing polka dots on llamas, she's unable to help

James:
Actually, I can see why so many people plead the fifth.
Polka dotted llamas are awesome.

James has uneven coolness

Rebecca:
Oh I know, I just being provocative
I a provocateur after all

James:
No!
You?
NO!
Surely not?

Rebecca:
is true

James:
Provocative?
Never.
Can't be.
Couldn't happen.

Rebecca:
snooty pants

James:
smeggly socks

Rebecca:
rasta bum

James:
*boggle*
My bum has dreadlocks and smokes weed while listening to reggae???
Damn, my bum is far cooler than the rest of me.
I have unevenly distributed coolness. I hate that.

James does not has a memory

James:
I knows stuff.
I have a brain full of stuff.
It's so full of stuff that stuff is constantly trickling out of it.


Mystery:
yeah...
like a sieve ;P


James:
Something like that.
Just remember that the unimportant water is allowed to trickle away
while the important spaghetti is kept.
"Spaghetti" in this case representing Doctor Who trivia and Beatles lyrics.
....and water being my friends' birthdays.

James is lyrical

Scott:
Wasn't that a Deborah Conway song, "today i'm a zombie"?

James:
Today I am a zombie, but tomorrow
I could be a ghoul or ghast...
*plays guitar*
Cavorting among the graves...

[sung to Deborah Conway's song "Today I am a Daisy"]

James protests

Rebecca:
I can hear a protest

James:
"What do we want?"
"Several clear points of differentiation between camembert and brie!"
"When do we want it?"
"Now!"

James channels Connex

[stilted electronic voice]

Attention passengers... the 7:38... ruby slippers... to... Emerald City... has been delayed, and is now expected in... seventeen years... Connex cackles evilly at any inconvenience caused... and at
your little dog, too...

James dances

James and Rebecca are discussing his future purchase of a laptop

Rebecca:
fair enough... what will you actually use it for?

James:
Portable low-end computing.
Checking my emails or feeds at a wifi cafe, showing photos to friends, etc.

Rebecca:
doing dances?

James:
I can do them without technological assistance.

Rebecca:
but lappy can provide musics

James:
Oooooh, good point!
Not so much assistance as accompaniment.

Rebecca:
true, but dances with music have an added edge that dances without musics don't

James:
Dances Without Music is my native American spirit name.
My spirit animal is a mime.
