Subject: Getting Smart

The 6^th Floor Gang is returning from appetizers and drinks at Catalina's, and slowly walking back to the 6^th Floor.

“Why haven't we seen Get Smart yet?”

“I loved that show when I was younger, I almost went without you on Saturday.”

“It was on in the late 60s. You're older than I thought Scott.”

Scott scrunches up his face and starts hobbling down the street. “Back in my day..we had to wind up our boob tubes. And we had to walk three miles in the snow to school. Uphill!”

“They played it a lot on Nick at Night in the 80s. I assume that's what he means.”

“Oh. He still makes a good geezer.”

“No doubt about that.”

“I was all psyched to see it Friday night, but when I got home no one else was here.”

“I was there...just sleeping.”

“Sleeping! It was 9:30!”

“I had a rough day..”

“That's why they invented beer!”

“And scotch.”

“Since when did you start drinking scotch?”

“I've had it once or twice, it's pretty good.”

“Sleeping is healthier and leaves me feeling better in the morning.”

“Everyone’s always complaining they’re tired. I don’t get it.”

“Take out your coffee-iv and maybe you would.”

“I don’t use an IV, drinking it’s half the fun!”

“You know what I mean.”

The group arrives at their door.

“Not it!”

Billy and Scott put their fingers on their noses.

“I don’t have my keys.”

“Me neither.”

Frank looks around and sighs.

“Damn.” Frank fiddles for his keys and unlocks the apartment door.
