The Starbucks on Chapel Street in New Haven. A man and a goose sit at a small table near the window. The goose sips a soy latte; the man, an espresso.
Goose: Oh dude! Did I tell you about my television gig?!?!?
Man: Umm, which one?
Goose: I was on that reporter chick's show!!!
Man: "Reporter chick"?
Goose: The hot one.
Man: The hot reporter chick.... I wonder if that's on her business card.
Goose (scrolling through iPhone address book): What is her name!! Oh here: Vicki Croke!
Man: Vicki Croke? I was on that show with you, man! I was sitting right next to you!!!!
Goose: OMG! I thought you must have been another guest who was on before me. Possibly someone with autism. Did you say anything?
Man: A couple things.
Goose: I couldn't hear a word you said!! You need to E-NUN-CI-ATE! Say this: "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain."
Man: It looked like you did well. Did you enjoy yourself?
Goose: Enjoy!?!? It was a celebration!!! Did you check out that green room?
Man: Green room? They had me in the employee snack room....
Goose: What a crib!! They had three-story columns carved from pink Florentine marble. The capitols were lotus blossoms and laminar fountains were shooting between the blossoms!!!
Man: I'm having trouble picturing that....
Goose: And table after table covered with authentic medieval tapestries! Rare and tasty bitter greens in solid gold bowls! Vintage French pond-water in wading pools!
Man: Well, they did have free coffee in the employee snack room.... Regular AND decaf!!
Goose: And those peacocks!! Where did they learn to dance like that? Is there a school for poultry that teaches exotic dancing??
Man: My head is spinning. Hey, did you get any pictures?
Goose: Of course not!! Photography was strictly prohibited! Oops! Now that I think of it, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about this place.... Do I need to kill you?
Man: Nope. I just erased this whole conversation from my brain.
