I'm only writing this down so I can remember it in the future. I need a place to keep these things, notebooks just get lost, scattered, and unused. Anyway, I thought of this on the walk back to my trailer, something I think I want to use in the future. A dialogue between a young couple, arguing about physical stature :
Female:
I need a man who can protect me.
Male:
and what exactly do you think you need protecting from? This isn't exactly the middle ages.
Female (realizing he's got a point):
...I dunno...murder...rape...ferocious lions...speeding cars!
Male:
Oh, I get it now, you want a man who can leap buildings in a single bound and is faster than a speeding bullet. Well I may not look it honey, but when it comes to the usual I'd die before I let anything happen to you. But if that's what you're looking for then I'm sorry, because your options are limited. Good luck finding the Fortress of Solitude.
