"You're... being intimate... with his daughter in the house ? " Carolina nearly chokes on nothing but air from bewildered shock, but tries to soldier on, so to speak, to the next topic. "Perhaps one day we will ! " she offers with a mild hopeful tone, as she would love to not lose their fellow townspeople to monsters, but also has no immediate desire to come to the cold realization of being able to return to her old life. "I'm glad you're feeling like people now," she jokes gently, a warm smile on her lips. "I think I might ! I was thinking a pastel rainbow of carnations perhaps ! Though, I promised a couple of friends with their displays, and I also volunteered to bake a few trays of cupcakes, so I'll have to see how long that takes. Do you have any creations in mind ? "

"Thanks. Though I would prefer if we didn't have to keep it quite so his daughter didn't hear us, I guess some would say sneaking around would be exciting." Paloma laughed looking back at Carolina and noticing her discomfort about the topic a bit too late. "Both sounds nice. Sunrise is always good to see but I wish we could see it from the outside." she nodded at Carolina's round up of day's activities, they did sound positive, and Paloma could see that that's what the blonde wanted to concentrate on for now. "Oh definitely, I've missed it last year when I was already here. I just wasn't feeling like people back then" she shrugged remembering how hard she found the first year here. "So I take it you're going? Are you creating a display?"

"Right," Lana agrees in pure sarcasm. "I'm sure nothing is worth your time other than exploiting a family's death for ... who knows why, really. Maybe a true crime episode ? " Her words are laced with more venom than usual, despite the fact that it's not as if she's ever done anything to positively contribute to the town either.

"Hilarious," Zoë said, shaking her head. "I don't consider a flower festival worth my time, honestly. I had enough of those puff pieces back in DC. I'm here to see if anything actually interesting happens. You can keep your puff. I'm trying to tell the story of the real Huntsville here."

Little Women (2019)

dir. Greta Gerwig

He takes in her words in silence for a moment, nodding along at this miniature segment of what he imagines are many lessons to come on this hellhole's mechanisms. "Huh. I suppose I did once wish for a place safe from spam calls. Who would have known ? Good ol' Huntsville." The words are jumbled, but the tone is more derision than admiration. Talon nods again as he gestures to the bartender his intent to order another drink. "I don't intend to be here long." As though he alone will find some missing key to this eleven-year crisis that hasn't been thought up yet. After another moment of silence, he manages to admit a quiet, "I'm... glad to see you're alive," that he probably wouldn't have said sober.

After a couple hours of any forced socialization, Morgan was bound to be found somewhere she could get a drink. She was surprised to see Talon nearby and chuckled to herself at whatever answer he gave the bartender, she didn’t know what he said but she heard “Sinclair” and could take a wild guess based on his tone. She gave him a nod when he noticed her and tried not to laugh too much at his question. “Um, yeah basically anything that connects us to the outside is gone. Honestly people coming to town sporadically is the only reason I haven’t just assumed the rest of the world didn’t just disappear. I’d say it’s good to see you again after all this time, but I’m thinking no one associates getting stuck here as a good thing,” she sighed, although it was nice to know the Romeros all had each other.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S (1994–2004) S05E11 | The One With All The Resolutions

Hey, Rach, maybe your resolution should be to gossip less.

Jasper pauses to pay for some sort of pastel cupcake while he attempts to jog his memory. "I don't know, man, maybe it was Snow Princess ? I don't want to watch it again. " He blinks. "Oh, Terrestrial Princess ? Shit, no wonder I didn't get it if there was a first one... Do you ever think about how many movies we're missing out on ? Like, do you think there was ever a sixth Fast and the Furious movie ? I should ask someone new."

He's forgotten for a moment in his enthusiasm for fast cars and non-Zamboni drivers that he is not meant to be hanging out with Hobbes and clears his throat only to scoff so loudly a person a booth away jumps. "Please. A four ! Maybe the fourth hottest person in town, sure. And what would that make you ! A negative three ? "

See, it was funny that Jasper viewed Hobbes as a backstabber because Hobbes, earnestly, had no idea that Jasper was in his feelings about anything.

Or if he did he promptly forgot because Jasper was (and Hobbes thought this with all the love in the world) the most dramatic person Hobbes had ever known.

He turned when addressed, having stepped to the side to take a radio call from Duck. "Oh, shit," slipping his radio back to his belt he held out a hand to dap, "Hey, J, what's up, man?" Hobbes was too much of a phlegmatic personality type to bother to answer Jasper's question. He knew full well he wouldn't be fast enough before his old teammate started going on about himself.

"...Celestial Princess..?"

He mouthed silently, eyes squinting as Jasper went on. Hobbes followed most of it.

"Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm gonna be honest with you Jasp: the first movie - Terrestrial Princess - fuckin' fire. All the other ones just kinda feel derivative to me, but what do I know? I'm not fuckin' Stanley Kubrick." While he was pulling all of this out of his ass deliberately to talk as little as possible about Jasper's sex life he couldn't help but add:

"Anyway, so she lowered her standards for you, that's cool. What are you again? Like... a cool 4 or..?"

FRIENDS (1994–2004) 4.04 The One with the Ballroom Dancing

Carolina embraces her friend warmly. "Mylene, you look radiant ! " She admires the arches besides them, linking her arm in Mylene's. "Isn't it just ? Oh, I wish we could have the town be this fragrant every week. We'd need quite a bit more flowers, though." With only the tiniest wince as she tries not to consider what will happen to all of these flowers tomorrow, Carolina shakes off the thought. "I didn't have any time if you can believe it, but I'm determined to do better next year. You must show me your arch ! "

location: flower festival @ofenigmas

Mylene might have put in an entry for the contest, but she was feeling zero pressure as she glided around through all the floral arrangements, just taking in the beauty and how wonderful she thought it was that so many had taken part. She spotted Cara and immediately rushed over with a smile across her face. “Cara! Did you enter anything into the contest this year? I’ve spent the whole day just walking around all these flowers, the town has never smelled so wonderful,” she laughed.

PARKS AND RECREATION (2009-2015) 5.19 — Article Two

Lana raises one eyebrow in the direction of the one who 'doesn't matter', but shrugs without hesitation. Jackpot. "Whatever you found interesting enough to want to tell someone else." She clicks her pen back into a writing position, barely suppressing a grin. "I may not be friendly, but I am very well acquainted with weird. You might just be my new favorite person at the station," she teases. "You're right, though, I don't really give a damn about affairs, but it doesn't matter if it's something unacceptable for the paper. You can tell me and I can water it down. I'm all ears for anything, on either side of the dispatch, too. Officer versus cat stuck in a tree and the cat won ? I'd listen. "

"I mean we could just ask if the acrobats wouldn't mind trading but at that point you would have to explain where half our wall went and at that point I think we're probably better off talking the mayor into letting us have a cool best friends apartment together, Merc." Hex is talking under her breath to her typical companion about living arrangements over something they're pretty sure is supposed to be moonshine, and they likely would have comfortably lingered in that mundanity if Lana hadn't chimed up beside her, Mercy frowning and quirking a brow at the outburst, Hex waving him off to turn and speak with the woman instead. "You might be barking up the perfect tree for this one- They don't let me gossip on precinct time, but this is like, him time." A finger jabbed over their shoulder at their companion. "And he doesn't matter. What kind of juicy stuff are we talkin' here? What is acceptable to put in the newspaper, really? Definitely not affairs, I know that one- but I'm sure I've got something worthwhile. I'm weird but I'm friendly so people tell me things."

Emily the Criminal (2022) dir John Patton Ford

Talon lets out a long-suffering sigh and scans the crowd, as though whoever created the idea of maple bacon cupcakes has committed some sort of heinous crime worthy of being hung at dawn. "I'd like to know as well. Perhaps that one." He gestures at a grinning woman holding a tray of flower-shaped cookies. "... Fruit tarts are not the worst," he admits, almost begrudgingly. "In small doses."

Matt glanced for a second then laughed. "Okay, I wanna know who's made maple bacon cupcakes?" He looked around as if they were nearby. "I didn't think the maple bacon trend even made it to this town yet, one of the newcomers must have brought it with them." Matt then looked back at Talon. "I hear the fruit tarts are nice."

GILMORE GIRLS | 1x02, The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton

Jasper is used to her insults, and takes them in stride at this point, barely blinking. "Yeah, well, you see, I was... kind of hoping we could... fix it before Jace finds out. This seems like the sort of thing he'd not let me live down."

Minnie turned toward her brother with an absolutely withering stare - a look that went so far beyond exasperation that she wasn't even sure there was a word for it. "I'm pretty sure Jace could fix that by himself," she countered. "Are you sure you aren't asking for someone else, Person I Am Unfortunately Related To?"
