his_sarah_jane Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. (Philip K. Dick)
“Doctor, what are you doing?”
“I mean it Doctor! I bloody well want an explanation to all of this!”
“Yes, that means now. When do you think it means? Three years from now?”
“If you really think I’m wearing that, then you’re highly mistaken.”
“It’s hideous is what!”
“Of course I wouldn’t be caught dead in it!”
“Neither should you, for that matter.”
“Because it’s ugly!”
“No, I really don’t care if it’s all the rage on Pigovian Three. We’re on Earth.”
“Oh, where else do you think Jo and Cliff would throw a fancy dress party?”
“That’s not very funny, Doctor.”
“Quit it, will you!”
“Doctor!”
“That’s much better now, thank you. But there’s still the matter of that… that thing.”
“Yes, it’s a matter!”
“It’s hideous, Doctor! And I for one will not be caught in its counterpart.”
“Don’t you give me that look.”
“I. Am. Not. Wearing. It.”
“Why? Because it looks positively insane.”
“I don’t care if Phillip K Dick said that it’s the appropriate response to reality. It’s childish, Doc-”
“You’ve mentioned that before.”
“It doesn’t change the facts though. “
“No, it doesn’t.”
“Anything but that, alright?”
“Couldn’t you pick something a little more… well, flattering?”
“You have to admit it’s a tad silly.”
“See?”
“No, not that one either. How about… oh, how about this one? We’d still be a matching set. Just… not quite as obviously out of place.”
“Doctor, it’s because you’re out of place at every single social event we’ve ever been to. I doubt this party will be any different.”
“Oh, put it on, will you?”
“Thank you. Now, do you need help with the ties or can I go and change into this dress?”
“Sounds like a plan to me.”
“Of course not, Doctor. If we were going to a party on Pigovian Three, I’m certain that you would have looked quite dashing in it.”
“Doctor, what are you doing?”
“I mean it Doctor! I bloody well want an explanation to all of this!”
“Yes, that means now. When do you think it means? Three years from now?”
