Ford:

I might have a Montgomery dinner, but I’m going to try to make it.

Me:

Dinner is at seven. Drinks begin at six. I suppose it’s my turn to host. Unless we’d like to go to The Teal Door?

Theo:

Do not ruin my restaurant with a family dinner that will surely beloud and rowdy.

James:

We are elite businessmen. We are not rowdy.

Dorian:

I’d rather go to the restaurant.

Theo:

You are not allowed to date any more of my waitresses. One quit already.

Me:

Dorian, what the hell did you do?

Dorian:

I didn’t do anything. Laura said she was moving to be near her mom because she got sick. I may like women, but I don’t fuck with them.

Hudson:

Sure, Dorian. Whatever you say.

Dorian:

I’m offended.

Theo:

You really aren’t.

James:

You really, really aren’t.

Me:

We’ll pick the place soon. But Theo, is it okay if we use your place instead? I’d rather not have to deal with a caterer. I could cook, but I don’t have time.

Theo:

Fine. However, just know I’m going to charge you out the ass.

Me:

Charge the company.
