Are they getting back together?
Maybe were going on tour with them!
This is going to be great or terrible or something its going to be interesting.
It was up to us to decide, which is great.

Its going to have to be a radio play or something.

They were very happy with all the insults and all the banter.
That was fine I guess theyre used to it.
It was much more like, That gig feels like we dont spend enough time with it.
Lets talk more about that.
I had taken all that [background] out, because we needed to save time.
And he was like, Look, to me that feels important.
They opened up their contact books to us.

As far as Im concerned, theyre both right and theyre both wrong.
What made them work was the same thing that destroyed the relationship in the end.
