“Well, they can’t. So what else do we have in this bag? I’m starting to like this game!”

“OK, ok, so what is your favorite thing to do on a rainy Saturday?”

“Well that’s easy, watch cheesy 80′s flick’s.”

“And which ones?”

“Well, if I’m feeling goofy then that has to be ‘One Crazy Summer’ or ‘Better of Dead’ and if I’m all sappy, ‘Say Anything’ or ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’. That’s easy, Dane.”

Dana reached into he bag and pulled out four DVD’s, “So what are you in the mood for? You really are easy, except for ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’ it’s pretty much all John Cusack.”

“Who wasn’t in love with him from like 85-99 if not still? Please, Dane, he is still on my list of celebrities I’m allowed to be with!”

“And that list is laminated or in pencil?”

“Pencil. But John had been there for over fifteen years, his name is sort of permanent, his is in pen.”

Dana reached down and grabbed Alice’s hand and brought it to her lips, “I know, I know. If you ever run into him, I won’t take it personally.”

“Yeah, but you know what Dane, if I ran into him tonight, I’d have to have a beer with him. Come on, its John Cusack. But I’d turn him down.”

Dana laughed, “Right, Al, you’d turn down John Cusack.”

“No seriously, I have all I want right here. And trust me, I know that’s strange, come on, it’s John. But even John isn’t worth missing this.”

“Come on, Al, seriously, he’s not only on your list, but he’s in pen. And we all know that if the celebrity is on the list, you’re allowed with no ramifications. That’s the purpose of the list!”

“I know that. But this doesn’t have anything to do with being allowed. I just I yeah, I just wouldn’t, that’s all.” Alice’s mood changed suddenly. She got up from the couch and started to walk towards the kitchen.

Dana got up to follow. “Al, what’s wrong?” When she got no response, she walked closer to Alice, who was not standing over the sink running the water, though for no apparent reason. “Al, what happened? Talk to me.”
