"Come
live with Me |
And
Be My... " |
XOXOXOX |
"All
right. We're not married." |
"Nope." |
"Or
engaged." |
"Nope." |
"And
I'm hardly going to tell anybody you're my boyfriend."
|
"Lucky
for you." |
"Fiancé
— " |
'"Cept
we're not getting married.
And if we were would you tell people I was your husband? Or
your wife?" |
"I
know a loaded question when I hear one; no comment.
Lover?" |
"Might
as well just tell people we're screwing." |
"Forget
it. Um — best friend — " |
"You've
always been my best friend, Hutch." |
"Okay.
Companion?" |
"Only
if I get to be a paid companion." |
"Significant
other?" |
"Significant
other what?" |
"Never
mind." Sigh.
"POSSLQ" |
"Whazzat?" |
"Uh
— Persons of the Opposite Sex — skip it."
|
"Good
idea." |
"Can't
tell people we're 'roommates,' or 'living together,' because
we're not. How about sleeping together?" |
"Screwing.
Anyhow, we slept together before we... " |
"All
right! How about 'living in sin'?" |
"Yeah,
as opposed to before you, when I was a chaste young
virgin." |
"Nobody's
gonna buy that. So where does that leave us?
What'll we tell people?" |
"Simple.
We tell 'em we're partners." |
"Starsky,
everybody already knows that. I was trying to come up with a
way to tell people how I feel about you — " |
"Hey,
Hutch, everybody knows how we feel about each other." |
"They
do?" |
"Sure.
They knew we were in love before we did." |
"Then
I guess we don't have to tell anybody anything." |
"Thank
God for that; next I was afraid you were gonna start
introducing me as your 'paramour.'" |
