how to woo a woman
…from Star Trek.
(Kid watches role-play.)
You are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy.
(But this might not work.)
Yes yes it would.
Or might you think I’m not sincere?
Maybe I do think it’s a lie.
You think I’m not sincere.
There’s nothing wrong with a lie. It’s like a knock at the door.
Like you’re inviting me in? That’s more than I expected.
Is that what you hope?
Hope is to recognise the possibility that I had only dream this.
Dreams can be dangerous.
Not this dream. I dream of a galaxy where your eyes are stars and the universe worships the night.
Careful. Putting me on a pedestal so high you may not be able to reach it.
Then I’ll learn how to fly.
You’re the heart of my day, the soul of my night.
(Kid interrupts.)
I don’t think this is my style.
Shut up kid.
