TM 231: Everything Passes

[iron_tony]

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live." Haruki Murakami.

I call shenanigans. I'd call it a much-less-nice word than that, but I've apparently got a family audience to please these days. That's why they cut all the three-way references from the movie.I get the point, life is precious and transitory,

You sound like Stetins.

Which is funny cause she was ranting against Stark Industries when she was like this.

[iron_tony]

Sally said that?

[skids_sally]

She is very passionate about like finding a way to make the world better.

We talked about it over coffee.
I'm showing her NYC on Sunday!
The REAL NYC, not the statue and all that crap.
Like China town and stuff!

[iron_tony]

Take her to the sculpture garden at UN.

She always loved it there. She used to go with Steve.

The world is always going to hell, there's always some freaking rift in dimensions or mouth to hell opening - there's always someone with a bigger gun than you who wants it more. The world is always going to hell - you can't make your life all about that, either, or else you'd end up left with not much life at all.

[iron_tony]

Are you suggesting that I need to learn to relax and have a good time?

[kara_marie]

You're Tony Stark and I'm just some stupid blonde, I don't think it would make sense for me to suggest anything to you.

I'm just saying - there only thing stupider than a life all about saving the world is a life all about ruling it.

[iron_tony]

Believe me, I don't want to rule the world.

[manorly_wayne]

I thought it was your kitten like heart and hi-tech tin suit?

[iron_tony]

Oh, Christ, you saw that movie.

[manorly_wayne]

Some of it.

[iron_tony]

Oh, come on, Wayne, it was for public relations.

You know what my public relations people are like.

You saw them in the movie.

[shaman_x]

That and the big metal suit!

[starspangledcap]

I agree.

By the way, should I be concerned about a former terrorist spending time with our daughter?

Re: *locked*

[iron_tony]

Who, Skids?

Pepper says she's a doll.

Re: *locked*

[starspangledcap]

Well, Pepper always has had sound judgment.

It's not that I dislike the girl, mind you - you once left me with an entire team full of former terrorists, after all, and now they're all crazy, or Clint that worked out just fine. I just don't want to see Sally dragged into anything dangerous.

Have you seen much of her?

*locked*

[iron_tony]

Around the office. I don't want to crowd her.

Skids thinks she doesn't like me, but I'm sure it's a misunderstanding.
