Faces J: (in the kitchen) (singing... as usual) “...I might not be the right one. But there’s something about us I want to say. Cause there’s something between us anyway.” M: (sniff sniff) Mmm. Something smells good. J: I’m making fajitas. You can go ahead and sit down. They’re almost done. M: (sits) So, did anything happen after your date the other night? J: Like what? M: Did you “rock the boat”, as they say? J: Huh? M: “Fog up some windows?” “Do the backseat bump?” J: WHAT!? NO!! M: (laughs) J: I respect Aisha more than that. I respect all women. I never take advantage of them. For me, first date equals first base. That’s the farthest I’ll go. M: So, if that’s true... does second date equal...? J: (raises hand as if swearing an oath) Not unless my lady wants to. I’m a modern-day knight. A gentleman and you know it. M: Okay, okay, get off your pedestal. J: The bottom line is I’m no letch. M: Not on the outside, at least. Hehe. J: HE-...well, I guess I gotta give that one to you. M: Hmm? J: (seriously) I can’t deny that as a man there are certain thoughts that go through my head from time to time. And as a gentleman, and more importantly a Christian, I have to fight with myself to suppress them. M: I... I was just... J: But not all of these feelings are of a sexual nature. Some are dark; demonic even. Quite often I feel like there’s more than one person inside me. On one side there’s the boy, the priest, the romantic, and the hero. On the other there’s the demon, the hypocrite, the letch, and the villain. M: You’re just trying to scare me... right? J: (sigh) I suppose it’s just human nature. “Everyone has a face that they hold inside. A face that awakes when they close their eyes. A face that watches everytime they lie. A face that laughs everytime they fall.” M: That’s good. Dickinson? J: Linkin Park. Chow time! M: Now... how do you eat these? J: You just take a tortilla, put some meat and veggies on it, maybe some salsa or sour cream, and then roll it up. M: Oh. Like this? J: There you go. M: (takes a bite) Mmm. I usually don’t relish any food that isn’t Japanese, but this is pretty good. J: Thanks. You up for trying burgers next week?
