Overheard 8th Street & 5th Avenue

He (walking):  Fuck.  I"d take a triplex penthouse.  I would. I'm tellin' you. I would. I would.

He:  No shit, I'd take a duplex on the fourth floor. Damn.

He:  I just sayin'. Fuck that.  I'd take a one bedroom on the first floor.  Ya know what I'm sayin'? I would. Damn I'd take a fuckin' studio.

She:  Pull up your pants.  Give me light, would ya?

He:  Fuck.

left the house

of coming back
ten hours later
