How unexpectedly sensible of you, Doctor.

And that means...what, exactly, hm?

Sensible advice...from you...is something rare and valuable.

And not to fall in love is the most sensible advice I've heard all day.

...So I'm being praised and insulted at the same time. Don't I feel special.

Oh, come now, Doctor, there's a lot to be said for unsensible advice...insensible advice...you know what I mean. *grin*

And even your less than sensible advice has come in handy more often than not.

I...have absolutely no idea what you mean.

Your nonsense and patter has more valuable advice than one of those self help books...or a whole shelf of them.

I was giving you a back handed compliment. *grin*

...What?

You give good advice, Doctor. Even when you're talking nonsense. Is that plain enough for you?

But nonsense isn't advice, it's nonsense. You're not making any sense.

I'm making about as much sense as you do sometimes.

Nice to hear it instead of see it. Looks painful. Like pulling teeth.

Love has a price. It hurts.

Bit hard. Not something usually controllable.

Then at least never act on it. Might be a better way to put it.

Been lost in love, have you?

And why's that?

It's a very bad idea, especially when things go wrong.

*a slightly amused grin spreads across his face*

Things always go wrong for you?

Yep, that's basically it.

That pretty much sucks. But if they ever don't go wrong, might you change your mind?

Probably shouldn't. It creates problems, even if it might go in a direction vaguely heading toward right's general viscinity.

Guess, I can't fault a guy for thinking cautiously.

How incredibly sad, even if it is true somewhat.

I wasn't stating a truth, I was offering up advice.

It's still sad that you would feel the need to say it.

Yes, well, it's a general rule I've attempted to live by.

Well, that'd be your perogative, wouldn't it?

...How's your head?

What? ...Oh, that. Fine. Perfectly and completely fine.

Good, I'm glad.

...better get back to what I was doing. Now where did I put that do-dad?

But that's no fun at all!

But it's worked out so wonderfully for me.

You didn't love Harry Saxon?
or are you referring to my grandfather's love life?

I'm talking about Harry Saxon.

Love of Harry Saxon has worked well for you.
I see. I thought you said that not falling in love had worked out well for you. Sorry. Misunderstanding.

It's because he got married, right?

Finally. Still his best mate, though.

That's a bit pessimistic.

Hear, hear.

Speaking from experience, mate?
