Notes: A very short bit of nonsense I came up with after finally seeing 'Future Tense.'

"Malcolm, have you seen my…"

"They're in the drawer with the…"

"The one under the…?"

"Last time I saw them."

"Thanks."

"By the way, Trip, I got a call from what's-her-name."

"How's she doing?"

"That other guy's having a retirement party."

"The one who…"

"Every time we go over there."

"So you told her we were busy."

"You read my mind."

"Did I tell you Mark's going out to Jupiter Station?"

"You're joking."

"Really. He's working as a steward until something better comes up."

"I think you did tell me that, actually. He had a traumatic experience with coleslaw, right?"

"Yeah."

"I got a message from Madeline the other day."

"I know. She's moving back to Malaysia."

"Right. Sorry."

"How's the…"

"Fine, fine."

"Really? Cause if it's not, I can always…"

"That's not necessary, love. Thank you."

"Malcolm, do you remember that time on 'Enterprise' when we found the 31st century shuttle?"

"We had a repeating conversation about dinosaurs and the Spanish Armada, didn't we?"

"Do you ever get the feeling that we're doing that again? I mean, having the same conversations over and over, always knowing what the other person's gonna say before he says it?"

"Naturally, Trip." Malcolm smiled across the table at his partner of thirty-seven years. "It's called marriage."
