-Wu—
-D—
-Haha. You go.
-No go ahead.
-I was gonna say— I dunno why I was thinking about this, but wouldn't it be, I dunno, intriguing to be a part of a girls gone wild week.
-What? Like—
-Ya like in Florida or Cancoon or whatever.
-Like spring break?
-Exactly.
-Whattayou mean? Like a chaperone?
-Hahaha. As if anyone would trust you to be a chaperone.
-Whattayou mean? I'm not gonna just go down to be a participant.
-Oh my god, if I ever had a kid I'd never trust you to be a chaperone.
-What the heck, why not?
-Oh I'm sure you could figure it out.
-That was so—
-Shh shh shh. It's starting.

-Hey, you guys have any conspiracy theory books?
-Uh, yeah we've got a couple. Looking for anything specific?
-Well ya, I'm looking for books on the Holocaust.
-Uh... Well—
-Some guys say it didn't even happen.
-Well. Ya, I think it's pretty well documented.
-Ya but they could be lying about anything. Like first it's two million, then it's two point five, then six and now people say eight million.
-I'm pretty sure they have a lot of it documented—
-Ya but—
-And even two million is kind of a big deal.
-Ya, no. Ya for sure. I heard this guy on the radio last night talking about it, but he doesn't come up on your computer.
-No. Yeah, you'll prolly haveta check Amazon for garbage like that.

-Hey wait.  Biographies. My mom says she wants a biography of Betty White.
-Betty White?  Do you know who wrote it?
-Ummm.  Nope.
-Well it's by author, so.
-Let's just look.  Oh my god, you know what I could never figure out?  How Mick Jagger was ever a sex symbol.
-Mick?  Just look at him. He's Mick.  It's cause he was bisexual.
-He was?
-Yeah. Before it was even cool.  He had all these affairs with boys and it was just like fascinating for everyone cause no one really did that.
-But he's so gross. Like scraggly and weird looking.
-Rolling Stones I guess— Hey here's one about Hemingway.
-Hemingway?
-Earnest Hemingway.
-Oh yeah. OK.
-You know he slept with his little nieces?
-Eww. That's sick.
-No not like that. He didn't do anything.  He was trying to deny his urges.
-Oh my god. He sounds like a perv.
-I dunno. He said he believed an artist should be able to deny his earthly passions or put it all in his writing or something, so instead of sleeping around and stuff, he slept with his nieces—like just in there beds, not slept slept with them—
-Oooh kaay...
-Well then he'd stop lusting or whatever when he did.
-Well I'm sure my mom would not appreciate a book about a guy sleeping with his nieces.
-Hahaha. Well where's this Betty White book?
-Excuse me, could you help us find a biography on Betty White?
-Oh sure, I think it's right rack here.

-I have never noticed it.
-Yeah. I dunno.  I think it's been here since we changed the layout a while back.
-Well thanks for helping us.
-No problem at all.
-Oh it's an autobiography even. Mom's gonna be so happy I found it.
-That's weird they just put an extra biography shelf here.
-Did you know Betty White is ninety years old?
-Holy crap.  Now Betty White.  There's a sex symbol.
