I am amused by this dialogue in today's vignette, which deals with dogs again:
“If they grow up knowing both of us, they’ll love you just as they’ll love me,” Ecks insisted. “And they will be useful to us, I can promise you that.”
“I’ve been taking your word on that,” Wye said. “And I’ll continue to. But that doesn’t mean I’ll get all chummy with them.”
“They’ll get under your skin,” Ecks said. “You’ll see.”
“Gettin’ under my skin is fine,” Wye said. “It’s takin’ away part of it that ain’t.”
And I figured out how to work tomorrow's prompt. It won't be Ecks and Wye saying goodbye at all; it will be Wye and Ginger. I'll do that idea of them having occasionally met as children and have them meet again while Ginger and Lou are on a business trip to New York.
