Well. Jem, of course.

[regulate]

I was not aware the two of you were so intimately involved. I wonder why the tabloids have not picked up on that fact yet.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We've worked at the same agency, under the same manager for a long time now. Of course we are going to be friends. It's hard for idols to make friends outside the industry.

[regulate]

I was asking if the two of you are dating.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We are not, why? You got a crush on Jem or something?

[regulate]

[ His smile sharpens. ]

Perhaps the one I have a crush on is you. Why did you not entertain that possibility instead?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

A crush on me? That's rich. Who knew our boy Friday was a comedian?

[regulate]

Do you truly believe it is impossible for anyone to have a crush on you after all the millions of fans who still have your posters on their wall even long after your retirement? I did not realize you had so much deeply embedded self-loathing, Jewel.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Oh, I’m quite aware they do. Both things can be true.

[regulate]

Why is it laughable coming from me then?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

…I suppose it’s not? You just don’t seem to like me very much? So it’s a bit hard to picture.

[regulate]

Perhaps, you will eventually know for certain which way the pendulum swings.

That is enough gossip for the evening. We both need our rest.

Good night, sleep tight, Friday.
