Bold Ninny: I need coffee (he proclaims as he stares right at me from the other side of the room)
Beatrix Kiddo: Okay. I’ll make some
BN: No, not office coffee (I wonder why he doesn’t like my coffee anymore?). I want a Starbucks latte
BK: Okay
BN: So I’m going downstairs to get one
BK: (does he want me to carry him there?)
BN: Ummm…do we have any petty cash?
BK: No. Remember I suggested it twice and you said we didn’t really need it?
BN: Errr…jikes. I need $4
BK: (blank face)
BN: Can you, errr, loan me $4?
BK: No
BN: But I really need a latte (he says this in the whiny high pitched voice that twists my innards into a knot)
BK: (The fucking nerve. He makes 5.71 times my salary! On principle alone, I’m going negative) Look at it this way, I really need a vibrator but I don’t ask you for one. It’s all about appropriateness.Â
