HIM: So. You're a hider.
HER: Excuse me? HIM: You hide. You like to hide yourself. HER: What makes you think so? HIM: Oh, please. It's written all over your face. And body. You almost fooled me for being a foot shorter. Not to mention your bangs cover about 80% of your face. And - I bet not many notice this - but your natural speaking voice is an octave lower. You are raising your pitch, and something tells me it's for a reason. HER: Hm. Lots of interesting theories you have there. HIM: Interesting as in... correct? HER: Interesting as in interesting. HIM: Someone once told me the subtext for interesting is 'boring.' HER: Well, that someone wasn't me. HIM: Huh. True. When I come to think of it, that someone was boring. HER: Someone once told me that only boring people get bored. HIM: Hm. Interesting. (Beat) Now I see why you hide. HER: Oh. And why is that? HIM: Not out of shyness, but out of smartness. That, and the fact that you're a public figure and everybody knows something about you since you were a child. HER: Hm. I guess I wasn't hiding very well after all. HIM: Oh, you were. But I know those cheek bones of yours better than my own. I had a poster of you in my bedroom as a kid. HER: Ouch. I'm sorry. HIM: I'm not! HER: Don't tell me... Revenge of the Teen Spirit? HIM: Bingo. It moved with me to four different homes. Always by the bed. HER: So you went to sleep with me every night. HIM: I... um, I. Guess you could say so. HER: Now I see how come you know so much about hiding. You are a hider yourself.
