[first lines]

Danny Griffin:
Colour coordinated. Impressive.

Steve McAndrew:
I learn from the best, Danny.

Danny Griffin:
Have you incorporated a forecast for unforeseeable expenditure?

Steve McAndrew:
If you mean will I have any cash left after paying off my bills today, the answer's no.

Danny Griffin:
And how much have you allocated to live on?

Steve McAndrew:
Well, let's put it this way: I'll be bringing in a pack lunch for the next year.

Danny Griffin:
Hmh. Oh! [rubs his neck]

Steve McAndrew:
What?

Danny Griffin:
I left my memory-foam pillow at Fiona's place, you know. Stiff as a board this morning.

Steve McAndrew:
The joys of living in two different places. You know I let a girlfriend have a drawer at my place once. Within a week she'd moved in, cushions, soft toilet paper, and one of those air fresheners that squirts at you every time you walk past them.

Danny Griffin:
I take it you broke up.

Steve McAndrew:
Eh, yeah. Kept the air freshener, though. They're actually very nice.They're rich in pine, I think.
