Rant: Valentine’s Desperation
Rod: I don’t get it. That line always worked in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie!
Barry: You don’t have two heads, a party whistle, and are partially crazy.
Rod: Besides the line, it’s Valentine’s Day. Women are supposed to be desperate.
Barry: Maybe desperation has its limits and you exceed them.
Rod: As far as that line goes, Uncle Alabaster always swore by it.
Barry: And if I remember correctly, all the ladies swore at him till he met your aunt.
Rod: Ah yes! He finally hit the jackpot!
Barry: You can say that again…….she’s jackpot sized alright.
Rod: Well, what are you talking about anyway? You couldn’t do any better.
Barry: Shoot, I can do better than that even before I try
Rod: Can not!
Barry: Can too and I’ll make a bet.
Rod: Oh?
Barry: If I can’t go get a woman you pick out to be interested in me, I’ll wash the spacecraft the next two weeks.
Rod: If you win?
Barry: You have to wash the ship for the next three weeks
Rod: Three weeks? Why only two for you?
Barry: That’s the bet. Take it or leave it.
Rod: I’ll take it cause I can’t lose.
Barry: Okay, pick the babe.
Rod: See those three over there?
Barry: The blonde, brunette and the redhead?
Rod: Yeah! Take you pick. I’ll have the buckets of water ready for you when you fail.
Barry: You’ll see. Just watch the master work!
Rod: Yeah right!
(a few moments pass and Barry walks toward Rod with all three babes on his arms)
Rod: How did you do that?
Barry: Talent and charisma. I’m smooth, dude!
Rod: Uuuggghhhh!
Barry: Remember, the Supreme Overlord wants all ships to have a high shine.
(Rod mutters under his breath)…your head needs a high shine…
Barry: What was that, Rod?
Rod: Oh, nothing…nothing…
