CIA Supervisor : Jesus Fucking Christ. What did we learn, Palmer?
Palmer : I don’t know sir.
CIA Supervisor : I don’t fucking know either. I guess we learned not to do it again. I’m fucked if I know what we did.
Palmer : Yes sir, it’s hard to say.
Threads like this remind me I need to see Miller’s Crossing. (No, I’m not giving my list because I’ve not seen even close to all of their films.)
I strongly recommend that you watch Miller’s Crossing. Maybe watch it twice.
Remind me, is it a bummer? My wife has a strict “no bummers” policy, so if it’s a bummer, I’ll have to find time to watch it by myself.
It’s not really a bummer – it’s too arch to be that. It borders on black comedy. It is quite violent.

Nevermind, looked it up. Never heard the phrase before. It’s silly.

I dug the musical numbers and the setting but I felt the story was really thin. Needed a few more rewrites, I feel.
So you’re not using it as a shortened form of archetype?
No, I’m using it in the dictionary definition of “arch.” I’ve never heard of what you’re referring to.
Well aren’t my wires crossed. I think I’mma shut down for today. Clearly I can’t brain.
Have you played enough space sims today? Your blood sugar may be low.
Yeah, I’ve not touched one since TUESDAY. I’ll have to fix that as soon as I get home.
Christ, man, don’t make me call an ambulance on ya
It’s okay, I’ve got one on hot standby in the tubes and ready for launch as soon as I get home.
