Raymond: I can't believe you told Maia's assistant about the blog.
Me: Why?
Raymond: You're not supposed to!
Me: Why?
Raymond: You're not supposed to tell people about it.
Me: Raymond, how do you think so many people know about you?
Raymond: Well...they're so close! They'll know what I'm talking about.
Me: It's not like you talk about them.
Raymond: I just want to remain mysterious. You know, keep my secret life...mysterious.

Raymond: Ok. So I have good news and bad news.
Me: Uh...
Raymond: Ok so first the good news. Wait. It's not really good.
Me: Mmm...
Raymond: Ok so first the news. Then the bad news.

< frances >

Context: I'm sorting mail and get a letter addressed to someone with the same last name as one of the professors here.

Me: Hey...so I looked this name up and there's no "Frances Forman" in Anderson. We've got the only Forman. So...do you think this person's related to her or something?
Raymond: (examines letter)
Raymond: Is "Frances" short for "Janis"?
Me: You gotta be kidding me.
Raymond: Well, it's the only way I see that this belongs here...
