... is that about me, dear?

You've obviously never seen yourself salivate.

That's -- entirely incorrect! My tongue is perfectly normally shaped. Not a serpentine thing about it.

Yes, because you went for the basic body with no modifications. I wasn't talking about shape.

Yours -- does weird things. I don't need one that does weird things.

... is there anything wrong with this body? [looks down at himself curiously] I didn't think it needed any modifications.

Pardon me for keeping the classic style.

No, angel, it's perfectly fine. I think you're missing the point.

Am I? What's the point, then?

My point, angel, is that you perform snakelike glossal manoeuvers whenever you see a particularly inviting book.

It's amusing.

What are you going on about?

Experiment. [places a first-edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray in front of Aziraphale and watches his mouth]

*stares at it for a moment, his lip twitching from a somewhat obvious conflict of interests before picking it up and carefully flipping through it. His eyes remain fixed on the book as he continues.*

I do not engage in Serpentine Tongue-movements, dear.

[a bit put out, but determined] You didn't that time, but I'll get you yet.

I can't say I have the faintest idea what you are talking about.

*lying Aziraphale is lying, but keeps his attention focused on the book before looking up at him with a smile--as if the book was an honest gift, which he is quite aware it was not.*

This is a lovely gift, how very thoughtful of you.
