The window seat
F and R
R
I think it matters.
F
It doesn’t.
R
Isn’t it a matter of opinion?
F
No.
R
Well couldn’t whether or not it is a matter of opinion could be a matter of opinion?
F
Nope.
R
Well couldn’t that just be–
F
Stop.
R
I’m just saying.
F
I know.
I’d like you to stop just saying.
R
Fine.
F
I just don’t like to talk about things like that, preferences like that, when so many people in the world don’t have the option to have preferences like that.
Whether they want
Dark chocolate
Or milk chocolate. Or no chocolate at all for that matter.
Some people don’t get to choose window seat or aisle seat because they always have to be in the middle seat.
R
Or can’t fly at all.
F
Oh, I think everyone can fly these days.
R
Oh.
F
And think about all of those poor poor people who died in the nine eleven.
R
The nine eleven?
F
Yeah. The nine eleven? The attacks on freedom?
R
Oh…THE nine eleven. I thought you said the… Nine eleven.
F
Imagine being in an aisle seat on one of those planes.
R
Imagine being on one of those planes.
F
No.
Mine’s worse.
R
Why?
F
Because it’s one bad thing, plus an even worse thing.
R
Which one is the worse thing.
F genuinely has to think about it.
F
I think that that, is ultimately, in the eye of the beholder.
R
Like booty.
F
Booty?
R
Pirate’s treasure?
F
I think you mean Beauty.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
R
Really?
F
Yeah, that’s the saying.
R
Oh.
What about one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Wouldn’t that mean that booty is in the eye of the beholder.
F
I…
I suppose it would.
R
So one man’s booty is another man’s beholder.
F
That’s a stretch.
R
Yeah.
…
yeah it is.
