MARGARET I was with Southwest…
JIMMY Right.
MARGARET But I took some time off, because I thought I might want to do what I studied in school. Kinesiology. You know, sports science.
JIMMY Cool.
MARGARET Yeah, well, I didn’t like it. You know, I enjoy not working more than actually working. In medical school, they put us in front of these cadavers to cut up and I was like get me out of here. I dropped out and got the job with American.
JIMMY But, you went back. That’s cool.
MARGARET It wasn’t my dream. My dream was to be working for a professional men’s soccer team. Just me and 20 to 30 guys. I was a little boy crazy.
JIMMY Just a little?
MARGARET Who are you drumming for?
JIMMY Guess.
MARGARET You know I’m no good at this.
[JIMMY whistles a bar of a popular tune by a 70s or 80s band that’s still doing reunion tours.]
Really.
Huh. I like them. I like that one song they have…
JIMMY Yeah. Everyone likes that song.
MARGARET So are you in the band?
JIMMY No. They just needed some extra rhythm parts. Everyone cans everything now.
MARGARET It’s a good song. How’s the little one?
JIMMY Eight. She’s eight.
MARGARET Aw. What is that? Third grade?
JIMMY Yes, third grade. I was playing with Sheryl Crow on her last tour.
MARGARET I like her. What’s she like? Is she nice?
JIMMY Yeah, she’s nice.
