DEANNA: …I mean, he and I have known each other since we were kids!

DEANNA: We never could’ve imagined that one day we’d become…[[DEANNA and GLINDA fade into the distance.]]

TODD: Become what? Partners in a whaling boat? Rival spoon collectors? Veterinary urologists?

TODD: At long last, the only remaining survivors of the ’96 Plague Class? Accidental astronauts? Deaf in the same ear? Child abusers? Each other’s dentist?

[[TODD turns around.]]
TODD: Cold war reenactors? Dressing up in old Soviet uniforms, photographic documents with tiny cameras…using phrases like “Checkpoint Charlie” in bed

[[TODD rides past the ladies again.]]
DEANNA: So we found some old TV antennas, spray-painted a basketball, and BAM! SPUTNIK.
TODD: YESSS
