“Becky, I’ve got to so much to do today, I don’t know how I’m going to get it all done in time.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, Bean. That sounds like a lot. Here, put this shirt on Finn. I’ll change Magpie.”
“I’ve got that presentation to give at 11, and then another meeting…”
“That’s a busy day, for sure.”
“And then the appointment at 2. I’m going to have to bow out by 3:30 at the very latest, even if it’s not done, to make my 4 pm meeting…”
“You’ve got your country’s 500th anniversary to plan, your wedding to arrange….”
“What?”
“….your wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. You’re swamped!”
“What? Oh, is this from one of your books?”
“Bean, you’re supposed to put your hand on my shoulder and say in a solemn voice, “Well, if you haven’t got your health, then you haven’t got anything.”
“Huh? Oh. Oh, is this from a movie?”
“Just say it. Saaaay itttttt. Look me in the eye and say ‘If you haven’t got your health, you haven’t got anything.‘ ”
“It is from a movie, isn’t it?”
“SIGH. Princess Bride.”
“The one with the guy who wears dark clothes and the mask?”
“Nevermind. Here, here’s Magpie’s socks.”
“Thanks.”
“No more rhymes now, I mean it.”
“What?”
“Nevermind.”
Anybody want a peanut?
And you stay with this man who can’t quote The Princess Bride?! Good thing his other qualities are amazing (I really think he’d just learn it by osmosis, I swear my SO only knows half the lines from me repeating them so often)
He does the dishes. Nightly. And then he wipes down the counters.
NIGHTLY.
On the other hand, he refers to Lord of the Rings as “your movie with all the goblins”.
SIIIIIIGH.
