MAYDAY by DCE aka ViciousGurl (c)2000 "Well, it wasn't all *that* bad." "Not that bad? I have only one word for you - DiCaprio." "Oh, come on. He was just channeling a lot of man pain -- boy pain -- or something." "'Pain' is right. My eyes are still hurting." "Oh, stop being such a baby. It was a classic. William Shakespeare. Surely you've heard of him?" "That wasn't Shakespeare. If you wanted Shakespeare you should have picked up the Zeffirelli version, the one with Olivia Hussey and whats-his-name." "Right. You can't even remember that 'whats-his-name' was Leonard Whiting, and you're the one with the eidetic memory. But I'm sure it was still a truly *unforgettable* viewing experience for you." "Well at least Zeffirelli didn't render the play to an unrecognizable slide show." "Please. The play's been done a zillion times over. I thought it was pretty clever the way they managed to find a new and fresh approach to it." "And let us not forget DiCaprio." "Aaargh! You're being impossible!" "*I'm* impossible? In my opinion, William never was too clever to begin with but what I find truly impossible is that *this* took even his writing to a whole new sublevel." "Ouch! That hurt. I know only too well how you feel about The Bard, but please! So, they used a little creative licence. What's the big deal?" "I'm not sure I would use the word 'creative' in reference to that clip show." "All right, so the director was a little too inspired by music videos but if you only looked beneath the surface you'd find a beautiful and tragic love story. I mean, didn't your heart just go out for them? And the ending, it was just heart wrenching." "Yes, it was. It took them two hours to finally get there." "You just don't have a romantic bone in your body, do you?" "Now *I'm* wounded. My own wife thinks that I am not romantic. Moi, ze general who worsziped ze goddess Aphrodite?" "Yes, you. And drop that terrible accent, will ya, you're not French." "But, I was. More than once, actually." "Ha-ha. You're hilarious." "Ooh, come here. I'll show you who's romantic." "... tickles." "Tickles? I'm busy kissing my way up your arm and all you can say is that it tickles? Now who is not romantic?" "Well, I can't help the way it feels. Maybe you're not doing it right." "Excuse me?!" "It was just a thought, no need to get all defensive. Though I can't remember Morticia ever start giggling when Gomez did that to her..." "That's it! If it's war you want - it's war you'll get! I demand satisfaction!" ... ... ... "Mmmm, satisfied yet?" "Still think that I'm not romantic?" "Oh, shut up and kiss me." "With pleasure. Happy anniversary, my dear." - the end -
