[Freddy looks at Larry then nods, almost solemnly. He totally remembers that day.]

I think you missed out.

[The look Orange gives Pink is faux compassion.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Chopping off heads?

[What the fuck. No, seriously, what the fuck. That's what's written all over the weasel's ferrety face]

What the fuck is wrong with this hellhole?

[whitetwoguns]

[White laughs with the victory of knowing there are a few was to rattle Pink's cage. Fittingly so.]

Uh huh.

[They got a picture of one somewheres don't they?]

Who the fuck knows. It's cursed, damned. Depends on who you ask. I don't think anyone here knows.

[orangetoughguy]

[Wait wait, Freddy's got this. He leans forward against their table, counter, wherever they are.]

Well you see they got these people called Immortals and for whatever reason they really hate the fuck out of each other. So what they do is they pick up swords and go straight to choppin' heads left and fuckin' right cause when you kill another Immortal you get his powers you know?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

[SILENCE]

That's Highlander, you prick.

[whitetwoguns]

Wait, wait, what?

[He's got to hold up two arms.]

Does everyone know that?

[orangetoughguy]

[Freddy gives Pink a completely nonchalant shrug of NO SHIT REALLY? Only to turn his attention to Larry.]

What?

[Know about Immortals or know about Highlander? Sorry but you're in nerd territory now, Mr. White.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Everyone who paid attention to the movies in the past five years, yeah.

[That is not really a dig on Larry's age as much as it's a dig on Larry's attention span.]

[whitetwoguns]

There's a chance it missed my attention. Some of us don't have all the time in the world to fuck off to the movies.

[Which may as well be a verbal shrug.]

[orangetoughguy]

Don't exaggerate.

[He waves his fresh cigarette at Pink for that remark. Fun movie? Yes. For geeks only? Just nod your head, Pink. Looking to White again Orange does the shrugging for him.]

Hey no harm no foul, you know?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

You could watch it here. Not the pinnacle of cinematic accomplishment, but it's better than fucking Star Wars.

[This may be a grudge talking]

[whitetwoguns]

I could. If I wanted to. Say, you see the one with the dinosaurs, right? That's some awesome shit.

[High fantasy, at least the Highlander, isn't grabbing the old man's attention. He polishes off his beer and scoots the bottle closer to the tender.]

[orangetoughguy]

Don't fuck over Star Wars. [You see this look, Pink? It's for you. Freddy can recognize geek pain.]

The dinosaurs were pretty cool.

[This is not a tail wagging for having first seen it with Mr. White or anything. Nope.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Star Wars was crap. I am your father? The fucking Force? The only good thing about it was the music.

[Wait say what?]

What dinosaur movie?

[whitetwoguns]

The light swords were pretty cool. Not one of my favorites though. I can't believe they had three of those.

[Why the hell not, he'll get another beer.]

I was uh... [Wait for it, he's thinking. A quick glance to Freddy. He saw it too. Oh wait, better not ask. Going to the movies is a rather questionable activity between men. Better not think of that.

Ah ha! Larry snaps his finger, pointing at Pink.]

Jurassic Park.

[orangetoughguy]

[Again he gives Pink a face. Really? Really? It's a dismissive face.]

That's the one.

[He points at Larry with a grin.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Haven't seen it.

[He sort of predates it, and hasn't had much time to watch movies while he's been stuck here]

[whitetwoguns]

You gotta see this one. It's fucking great. Whole damn island of dinosaurs attacking people and each other. Looks almost real.

[Generous sip of his beer.]

[orangetoughguy]

I picked it up here on a recommendation.

[He nods to Pink then taps his cigarette on the nearest tray.]

And raptors, real smart ones. They open doors.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Wait.

Real looking dinosaurs attack people and open doors.

Who directed it?

[whitetwoguns]

Who directed it? Fuck, Steven Spielberg? Someone like that. What does it matter, you've got realistic looking dinosaurs. Damn exciting movie.

[orangetoughguy]

I don't go out of my way to find shit that's out after us you know. [Like Britney Spears and Lady Gaga or whatever.] But the dinosaur shit, fuckin' worth it.

[There's a nod to confirm with Larry too.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Oh, Spielberg? He's pretty good. I liked that Close Encounters movie.

[A nod]

Sounds worth checking out.

[whitetwoguns]

You won't regret it. I can tell you that.

[Oh man, maybe this last beer wasn't a good idea. Larry is sipping on it more easy. Not that he's drunk or anything...]

[orangetoughguy]

We got it lying around somewhere.

[Oops. Was that a slip? Maybe maybe not. See Freddy finish off that second beer and consider another.]
