Off the wall, goofy conversations...

[Eumenides]

So, PV (and others), why in the world is it called off the wall? And can you have an on the wall conversation?

 

[Private Vasquez]

Are you propositioning me?

 

[The Squid King]

Are you propositioning me?

I am, what are you looking for?

 

[Eumenides]

Are you propositioning me?

When don't I?

Answer the question, plastic woman!

 

[Private Vasquez]

Unless you're hangin' with Humpty, your conversations will most-likely not be on the wall.

 

[Private Vasquez]

I am, what are you looking for?

But wait, if you're propositioning me, shouldn't you tell me?

Off the wall has its origins in squash, handball or raquetball where a ball coming off the wall can call for some nimble and unplanned maneuvers, just as an off the wall conversation is unplanned and a little different from the norm.

I have a dictionary of cliches that included that .......and way too much time on my hands this evening.

I down for whatever, what do you want?

 

[Private Vasquez]

Something Off The Wall and goofy, I suppose.

So, do you think that alfredo sauce was invented by a guy named alfred?

 

[Private Vasquez]

I think his name was Alfredo.

He's nothing to me now. He's not a brother, he's not a friend. I don't want to know him or what he does. I don't want to see him at the hotels. I don't want him near my house. When he sees his mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there.

My ex-lover loved the movie Ants, so when the movie Ants came out on DVD, I bought it, then I rented an Ant costume and hand delivered it to her. Is that sorta what you had in mind.

 

[Eumenides]

Alfredo did you wrong, huh?

 

[Private Vasquez]

I know it was him. He broke my heart...he broke my heart.
