Long Distance

Tai called one night when I was out and Annie picked up the phone. Here's Tai's account of the conversation:

T. Whatcha doing?
A: Watching a movie with my cousin.
T: A movie, that's a good idea. Man, I should watch a movie. can you recommend something?
A: [PAUSE.] you mean for YOU?
T: Yeah.
A. [LONG PAUSE.] I don't know very many adult movies.
T. That's okay. I like kids' movies, too.
A: [PAUSE, POSSIBLY INDICATING, 'WHO IS THIS IDIOT?'] Have you seen Winn-Dixie?
T. No. Should I?
A. Yes.
T. Is that about a horse?
A. A dog!
T. Oh, right. It's good, huh? Ok, I'll see it.
A. [SILENCE. HEAVY BREATHING.]
T. Well all right, then. I love you. Bye.
A. Bye.
