Little Red Riding Bicker
"It smells in here."
"You always say that. Hotels smell. Cheap hotels smell a LOT. It's just another fact of life on the run. Speaking of run, are you really going to wear those shoes ?"
"Yes. I thought you might want to use these keys to break the window. There aren't any fire extinguishers around."
"For once, we are on the same wave length. Did you see that guy in the parking lot giving us the eye last night? Do you think he made us?"
"I think if he did, we would not have had such a pleasant night."
"Speaking of pleasant, you had a moment last night when you quite reminded me of that shrieking head of my mother's. Almost made it impossible to perform, darling.'
"Don't bait me, or I will tell you how you remind me of a pencil. Did you put that hot as a firecracker pepper sauce on your egg and tomato? 'Cause I want what is left, if you didn't. Give me your plate, or just cut it in half. We should start getting ready to clear out of here. Clever of you to order room service. We can slip right out."
"I am ready to go as soon as I brush my teeth. OH, make sure you remember to take the toothbrush - we don't want to leave any DNA around."
