Plenty of people do. I’m sure now more than ever.

[irishradical]

Yes, probably.

If I felt inclined to cut them any slack, I suppose I could say they haven't seen you like I have, but I don't feel inclined to do that at all.

[chauffeured]

You? Cut the aristocracy some slack? I must be rubbing off on you.

[irishradical]

You've done more than rub off on me, love. Quite a bit.

Not the whole lot. Just your family.

[chauffeured]

There’s an innuendo in there. I’m sure if it.

Still. I never thought I would hear you say it.

[irishradical]

Yes, there is.

Should I take it back?

[chauffeured]

You’re terrible. Never stop.

No. I’d rather hope someday we can all get over this, and I can you and them.

[irishradical]

I am, and you like it, so I won't.

I'll do as much as I can to make and keep that possible.

[chauffeured]

I didn’t expect any different. I think I’m more concerned about their reactions.

[irishradical]

Do you want to - rehearse, I suppose, what we're going to say? Leave less room for... uncomfortable openings, I guess.

[chauffeured]

I was just going to tell them. I want you to come to Christmas dinner. As my date.

[irishradical]

And if they just say no?

[chauffeured]

I’ll tell them I’m spending Christmas dinner with you. Either here or at your apartment. I can’t say it would be as good, but I’ve learned a few things over the years.

[irishradical]

Alright, then.

[chauffeured]

I think being direct with them would be best. And I’m not willing to bend on the subject.

[irishradical]

No, I can see that. You're glorious, you know.

[chauffeured]

I’m not trying to be. I just want more with you, and I can’t have that if we can’t even be honest about our relationship.

[irishradical]

I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

[chauffeured]

You have nothing to apologize for, Tom. This is classism and sexism at its finest, and I won’t have a part of it if they try and tell me my heart is wrong simply because you weren’t born a certain way.

[irishradical]

Less an apology, more an expression of regret. I don't want to make Christmas involve a fight for you.

[chauffeured]

I’ll have you. And it will be worth it.

[irishradical]

You have me. That's very much present tense.

[chauffeured]

Then that’s all I want for Christmas.

[irishradical]

That makes things simple, since you're what I want for Christmas.

[chauffeured]

Then it’s settled. We’re spending Christmas together.
