All's Fair in Love and Dinner

"But Charlie Kaufman, your Charlie Kaufman, wrote his best movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, with two other people."

Please. He hashed out the bullet points over dinner with two of his pals.

"You ever been fucked by love?"

"Yup."

"Tell me more. And since we're up, who feels like calamari?"

That sounds an awful lot like like my standing Wednesday night wine night with the girls. You don't see me giving them any credit for the good stuff, do you?

Dammit. I really am going to bed now.
