This is what happens when you have two writers with twisted imaginations in one bed -
"Someone here to see you, Master Roger," Norman announced.
"Who?" Roger asked as he turned a page of the paper.
"The woman you refer to as 'Angel', sir."
Roger put the paper down and began straightening his clothes. "Well, send her in, Norman. Don't keep her waiting."
Norman nodded curtly, then left the room. A moment later, Angel enters, cigarette in hand.
"Well, Mr. Negotiator," Angel commented. "You certainly make a woman feel welcomed."
Roger got up, offering her a seat on the couch. "A beautiful woman is always welcomed in my house," he reminded her. He turned up his smirk another two degrees. "So, what service can I perform on - I mean, for you?"
"Always eager to help a lady," Angel remarked, taking a puff on the cigarette, her lips making a perfect O around the filter. "Even if you have to sweat a bit. I've liked that about you, Roger Smith."
Roger sat down across from her. "One of my many assets."
Angel crossed her long legs. "Yes, I'm sure - "
A door slammed, causing both to look up. Dorothy stood next to the piano, a white wedding gown draped about her body and a sheer veil softly covering her face. In one hand was a ridiculously decorated bouquet of white roses.
"Dorothy!" Roger began.
"Roger, we're going to be late to our rehearsal," Dorothy interrupted. "You haven't changed into your tuxedo yet."
"Wha-Who-Huh?" Roger stammered.
"We need this rehersal, Roger," she went on in her clinically precise tones. "We can't have you getting nervous and wetting yourself at the actual ceremony, can we?"
"WE ARE NOT GETTING MARRIED!!" he yelled, trying to be imposing.
Dorothy looked up at him wistfully. "How can you say that - after we exchanged underwear and everything?"
He looked over at Angel, a sweatdrop forming. He smiled nervously. "I have no idea what she's talking about."
"Of course," Dorothy continued, "You don't wear mine as often as I wear yours ... but I can't resist the feel of the silk. Although the lace is a bit itchy on my -"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" he yelled at her again. "Honestly, Angel, I - "
But Angel was gone.
"Angel?" he called, getting up.
"Strange," Dorothy commented. "It seems the conversation made her uncomfortable. Perhaps because she has the morals of an alley cat -"
"THAT'S IT!" he exclaimed, getting to his feet. "You, R. Dorothy Wayneright, have interferred in my quest to Get Some for the LAST TIME! Your jealousy was cute at first, and it did boost my ego - "
"Which needed it like Big O needs platform shoes."
"- but this is OVER THE LINE!" He stepped up to her, radiating menace. "So I am going to inflict upon you the most evil, most hideous, most inhuman torture that can ruin a woman's life!"
Dorothy raised an eyebrow an eighth of an inch. "What is that, Roger?"
"I REALLY *AM* GOING TO MARRY YOU!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward the elevator. "City Hall's still open - we can have a Registry Office ceremony in less than an hour!"
Dorothy remained expressionless. "Whatever you say, Roger." As they passed the kitchen, Norman poked his head out. Dorothy smiled sweetly and whispered, "I win. You owe me fifty."
Norman sighed. "Now I suppose I'll have to call her 'Mistress Dorothy' all the time now, not just when we're fixing Big O." He returned to his meal preparations. "Let's see ... for tonight, about six dozen oysters should be just perfect."
"Someone here to see you, Master Roger," Norman announced.
