I can't say I'm one of those people who believe there are no stupid questions.

But at least I'm not compelled to answer them all honestly this time.

Would you answer mine honestly?

[goodnightjulia]

That all depends on the question, Mr. Eckener.

[notapreacher]

So maybe if I made it a really good one like... how do my dry martinis measure up? Or maybe... what did you think of that last song I wrote for you?

Those can be warm-up questions.

[goodnightjulia]

Those aren't a problem.

Your dry martinis are almost as good as Frank's, but they're not the best I've had. We'd have to go to Venus for that.

And your song wasn't much of a torch song, but... I still liked it.

So you managed to sort of escape this one, Julia?

[goodnightjulia]

So far.

I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic, but I still have a few hours to go.

[hisplusone]

Well something tells me that you'll beat this one.

[goodnightjulia]

Let's hope you're right. Are your instincts good?

[heliotropic]

Why not? Some of them aren't so bad.

[goodnightjulia]

Some of them are harmless. I just like having the choice to answer or not. Don't you?

[heliotropic]

I don't think I'd mind if I had to answer most of them.

[goodnightjulia]

You have nothing to hide?
