The Sketches

Some people wanted to know what SHE thought the rest of the scene was going to be, so I thought I'd put it up here for you to read:

Looking at diamonds…

Bones-Not that I CARE, but just in CASE someone DOES care, I can tell them… what kind of ring would you want?

Laura-For what?

Bones-Duh, come on…

Laura-For an egaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagement?

Bones-Yeah- but I’m just asking, I don’t care or anything. This is the first I’m thinking about it.

Laura-Well, I hadn’t really thought about it either,

Bones-Yeah….

Laura-But, since you ASKED- you DID ask, - let’s look at Macy’s.com

Bones-Ok, I mean, I’m just curious.

Laura-See, I like this one, because the stone doesn’t really jump up off the ring, and I like the white color instead of the gold.

Bones-Yeah, I figured you weren’t into a gold color.

Laura-So you HAVE been thinking about it?

Bones-Only in the abstract. You must like this one too then, huh?

Laura-No, that one is really ugly.

Bones-They’re the same ring!

Laura-No, this one has a princess cut stone.

Bones-You mean the diamond?

Laura-Yes, the “stone”. It’s princess, which is square.

Bones-Princess means square- and that is square- got it. Not that I care.

Laura-Anyway, the setting is too pointy.

Bones-These prongy-things are too pointy?

Laura-Yes, the “setting”; I don’t want it to stick out like that.

Bones-I can’t tell that it-

Laura-You can tell by the picture.

Bones-They’re the same ring!

Laura-Well, it’s all wrong. I like something CLASSIC, but a little different.

Bones-So, something like this is the traditional…

Laura-No- not traditional- CLASSIC, but a little different.

Bones-Right, this one has the “stone” too high, right?

Laura-Yes; it’s too “mainstream”.

Bones-Gotcha. So then THIS one has a low…. Stone, with a small setting, and it’s kinda-

Laura-It’s too small.

Bones-You’re a size six an a half, aren’t you?

Laura-No- the stone- the diamond- is too small.

Bones-Right, no, of course, I was just….

Laura-Something like THIS would be more like it, but different.

Bones-You mean WITHOUT the 20,000 price tag?

Laura-Yeah, well- I’m not really thinking about a ring anytime soon,

Bones-Good, because for 20,000 I’ll get you a CIRCUS ring.

Laura-YOU asked. Let’s stop this.

Bones-Good idea…..

Laura-But it IS something I’m going to have the rest of my life.

Bones-Hopefully.

Laura-Don’t talk like that.

Bones-Alright, alright.

Laura-It’s an INVESTMENT, right?

Bones-NO! I mean what kind of investment sits on your finger? It’s an INVESTMENT if we break up and you go pawn it!

Laura-I wouldn’t do that- I love you!

Bones-I love you too! This is silly, I’m not really thinking about it for a while, I mean like another year or two, and based on what I’ve learned so far, it’s gonna take that long anyway-

Laura-I wanna be surprised!

*********************************SHE DIDN'T SEE IT COMING*****************

Bones-Well, ok I hear you.

Laura-Ok.

Bones-I think we should break up. (playful flirty)

Laura-What?

Bones-Look, I figure if we break up NOW, I can save you a trip to the pawn shop, the divorce court, the are no children to bicker over-

Laura-You would fight for them?

Bones-Those brats that my mother cursed me to have? No thanks!

Laura-But they’d be cute.

Bones-‘cause they’d be as beautiful as you?

Laura-No, ‘cause they’d be as beautiful as their dead-beat daddy.

Bones-That’s right- dead-beat. I’d run away to Mexico, and not give you a dime.

Laura-And now you know why I want a 20,000 ring.

Bones-Touche’.
