Lavinia

Are you excited?

Roman

Nah. I don’t get excited about stuff like this.

Lavinia

You’re going to the Stanley Cup playoffs. It’s not ‘stuff like this’. You’re allowed to be excited.

Roman

But if I get excited, there’s a chance we’ll lose and then what will be the point of being excited.

Lavinia

Sigh.

Roman

Did you really send me that?

Lavinia

I did. Roman, there’s more to life than getting from point A to point B. There are a lot of little things in between point A and point B and the whole point of the journey is to enjoy those little things.

You might lose. Until then, can you please close your eyes and enjoy being on a team that’s going to the playoffs?

Are you doing it?

Roman

Yes. I’m doing it.

You’re very good at pep talks

Lavinia

I learned from the best

Roman

Wanna return the favor?

Lavinia

How?

Roman

You can teach me all the ways I can have you screaming my name.

Lavinia

That’s not something that can be taught. It involves a lot of raw, natural talent. I’m hard to please.

Roman

Bet I can do it in under five minutes

Lavinia

It takes you five whole minutes? My vibrator can do it in two.

Roman

Oh, Blossom, you never want a machine to do a man’s job.

Lavinia

I do if the men fail repeatedly.

Roman

You just haven’t found the right man. I offer my services.

Lavinia

I will take your offer under advisement for the day I run out of batteries.
