Lights dimmed, head down.

Killer migraine.

[chesstotem]

What do you mean?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Wills, arrangements in case anything happens and the like.

[chesstotem]

[She laughs.] Yeah, yeah, I know. She wasn't being that literal, Arthur. [She leans into him.]

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} I see.

[chesstotem]

She just means... you can't assume you'll be dead as an excuse not to... want things. To set goals.

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Live life to the fullest?

[chesstotem]

Yeah, like that. If you want something, figure out how to get it. Be willing to take risks.

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} She sounds like a wonderful woman.

[chesstotem]

She's all right, for someone who named her daughter Ariadne.

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} It's certainly a unique name.

[chesstotem]

I like it all right, I guess. Except no one can pronounce it right.

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Unless you went to Greece.

[chesstotem]

I know. Still haven't been there, actually.

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Plan to anytime soon?

[chesstotem]

Uh, no particular plans, no. I figure I'll get there, eventually.

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Trying to see where life takes you then.

[chesstotem]

Maybe. I'm good at planning, but I like being spontaneous, too.

Or maybe I'm just waiting for a man to sweep me off my feet and take me there.

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Well that won't be happening anytime soon.

[chesstotem]

No? And why not?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} There's a lot lined up on both out plates at the moment.

[chesstotem]

Oh yeah? [She teases.] Like what? Got a job?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} There are always jobs.

[chesstotem]

Yeah, and they'll still be there if and when you take a break.

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Aren't you forgetting about the one you have lined up yourself?

[chesstotem]

I'm not saying right now. Besides, we're already taking a break over Christmas.
