Flirting for favors: awesome or awesome?

Awesome. ~~with capitals~~

I thought so. ~~Capitals are required, yeah?~~

Well, you thought right! What is the favor you're attempting to.. elicit? ~~So necessary.~~

Keys to a...particular kingdom. Sort of. ~~And sooo important~~

Kingdom, huh? Sounds pretty badass.

*nods, laughing a bit* Colonel Sheppard.

Might be!

Harley.

Nice to meet you, Harley.

So tell me more about this kingdom.

Well. Less a kingdom and more a...oh. Highly "secure" mental institution. Tomato, tomahto.

..Right. *nods* One man's trash is.. another man's mental institution. Gotcha.

Exactly, Colonel. Exactly.

I imagine that would depend on the favor. Or who you were flirting with.

Keys, or a sort and...the keymaster.

The gatekeeper? Gozer? Whichever ghostbuster reference would work there.

Oh, goodness. Well, more importantly, I take it you got what you were after?

Not yet. These things take time.

I see. Good luck, anyway. Although, if you don't mind my asking, how did you run across a... keymaster? And what keys are he keeping? This isn't a glorified janitor or anything, is it?

Security.

Only if favor is a euphemism for sex.

It really, really is not.

Then it's not that awesome.

Not even a little bit?

It could always be better. See, that's me all over. Always looking on the bright side.

How very sunshiney day!

I'm just gonna go ahead and say awesome.

Well, good! Because it totally is.

I'm just glad I got the right answer.

Your odds were way more than 50/50.

Trust me, if anybody could have answered wrong, it would be me.

Aww, really?

Really. It's a special kind of talent I have.

Lucky you!

Not the kind of luck anybody really wants, but I guess it's better than none at all, right?

Well, is it really BAD luck?

I guess it just kind of depends on how you look at it.

Flirting for favors? Sounds to me as if you're only asking to court disaster or garner a bad reputation that way. Hardly full of awe, that.
