...No, that doesn't sound... well, it sounds somewhat right.

[She doesn't need a ton of settling down.]

...My parents want me to get married and become a housewife. So, they've been trying to find men to put me in my place. Make me quit my job and stay home and raise children for the rest of my life.

[So... half points there.]

That's why this is my fourth cup of coffee, and you're the sixth guy I've met here today. So just tell me you want me to stop working and I can send you on your way.

I see...

[Cu Chulainn rubs at his chin with one hand.]

Now, here's the problem, Lass. I don't much like giving up, but what they're tryin' to make you do ain't right either. I sure ain't got any interest in some woman who just wants to sit at home. Where's the fun in that?

[He looks like he's thinking for a moment and then a smirk crosses his face.]

You're pissed about what they're doin' right? What's say we beat 'em at their own game? What would they do if you found a guy who you wanted to marry, but wouldn't make you do any of that stupid shit they want you to do? Wouldn't that be a great way to show 'em?

And frankly, I don't care much what my husband does. I mean, I expect him to help raise children. Preferably stay home until I get home at the very least.

[She takes a sip of her coffee, thinking about it carefully.]

...Well, I would have to find a man I wanted to marry. A man who respected me, cared for me, and took my job seriously. And again, didn't mind staying home all day and taking care of kids.

[She looks right at him.]

...And dresses in nice clothes.

[Cu Chulainn props his elbow on the table and drops his chin into his hand.]

You actually want kids? As much as you talk 'bout 'em, I'm not sure you really want 'em. Wouldn't you just be happier focusin' on your work an' havin' a husband who you could have fun with afterward? Not every lady needs kids, you know.

[When he notices how she's looking at his clothes, he sits back again and gestures at them.]

Hey, there's nothing wrong with this shirt! It's bright and loud and colorful. Just like me. I'd say we're a perfect pair!

[A pair of what is up for debate.]

I actually do want children.

[She drinks her coffee.]

It's hard to have fun when you're nearly forty... you, you're twentyish, right? Right now, my biological clock wants children and so do I. That's a deal breaker for me.

[She narrows her eyes.]

I expect most guys to wear a suit if they're coming to meet a potential spouse. So I guess you didn't plan to take it seriously.

[Cu Chulainn picks at his shirt, looking puzzled for a moment.]

Does it make me look that young? I'll have you know I'm not a day under 30!

[He shrugs, not really seeing how she can see him as being in his 20s.]

Look, if you want kids, that's great. I was just checkin' since your folks already were trying to push so much on you. Some just don't get it when a kid says no I ain't giving you grandkids.

For me, it don't really matter. If I'm lucky enough to have 'em, great. If not, it's a shame, but I ain't gonna cry over it. If I have 'em one things for sure. I ain't gonna be like a lot of these guys now. I won't be up and disappearing on the mom. You can count on that.

...I don't believe that for a second. Don't pull that kind of shit on me.

[There was no way.]

I do want a child... I'd like three but that would mean I'd need to be pregnant within the next two months for even the chance. [She smiled slightly.] My parents would like more. But I'd be happy with three.

[Picking up her coffee.]

...What is your job, anyways? Not that... I'd expect you to have one. I make more than enough for you to live comfortably without working.

Geez... What? Do you wanna see my driver's license as proof or something?

[Cu Chulainn reaches into one of the back pockets of his pants and fishes out his driver's license, tossing it at her. Yes, he is wearing the same shirt in the picture on it that he is now.]

See! 33 as of last month.

[He laughs.]

My brother was always sayin' I'd never make it passed 30 with my luck. Showed him.

As for work, it varies by day. I gotta group of places I go 'round to and see if they need help with anything. Fixin' stuff, making deliveries. just 'bout anything really.

...The worst thing of all is that you're the oldest suitor to come through here. The next oldest? 25.

[She groans, rubbing her face.]

You might not make it past forty with your attitude but we'll see.

...Mm. That's a job you could do with a child. You'd just need a nice car and maybe a nanny to help you out.

I've made it this far, haven't I? I sure don't have any plans of checking out anytime soon. 'Sides, you should be happy! Seems even if your folks don't much understand you, they do know you need a good young guy to keep up with your young heart.

[Is he...flirting with her? Yep. He's flirting with her...]

Right now I just walk place to place. I got a license, but I don't really drive. I'd rather just take my time and enjoy the scenery. Most my jobs don't have a timetable. Long as it is done that day, it's all good.

Cute. I don't need a young man. Because all the young men think about is furthering their careers. I need a man who doesn't care. I'll be a... 'sugar mama' as they call it.

[And she doesn't even notice.]

Right, well, if you raise kids, you might need to actually drive. Again, something I need to know before I completely dismiss you.

'Sugar Mama?'

[Cu Chulainn can't help it. He breaks out laughing.]

Nah. Just cause you're a business woman, don't mean you gotta go callin' yourself something so derogatory. Who really cares if he's younger if you're a good team when it comes to the family stuff? Age is justa number!

Now for the driving. Didn't I just show you my license? I know the pic's good and I don't blame you for maybe wanting to see it again, but the real thing's better, you know!

[He winks at her.]

'Sides haven't you been saying this whole time I'd be takin' care of the kids? If I want 'em to walk so they don't forget how like some of these kids nowadays, what's the big deal? Nature's a great thing. You should check it out sometime if you haven't recently.

...You know that's what most men say to a much younger woman. 'Age is just a number'. I never thought I'd ever hear that.

[She sighed, looking him over.]

You're pretty cheeky. Is it a wonder you're still single like me?

[Moving over to tap his nose.]

I'm just saying. You're going to want to drive occasionally. That's why you'll have a car too.

Fine. Fine.

[Cu Chulainn waves his hand dismissively.]

I know how ta pick my fights when it comes to a lady. If ya insist, I ain't gonna fight it. There will be other fights.

[He snaps playfully at her finger when she pokes him.]

Gettin' frisky with me now, Lass?

And we'll see how many of those you win.

[She leans over the table.]

If you want frisky, marriage first. I'm... saving myself for it.

Oh, are ya?

[Cu Chulainn leans forward and then very quickly, licks her on the nose before leaning back with a laugh.]

That mean we're married now?

No.

[Just such a straight answer, kicking him hard in the shins.]

If you want to get married to me, you have to get a suit and help me plan everything. Because we're married by the end of the month.

[Her reaction amuses Cu Chulainn enough that he doesn't bother trying to dodge the kick.]

I didn't think this was my choice. Ain't it you who gets ta make the final call? You gonna send me packin' like the others or do I gotta figure out how the hell I'm gonna afford a monkey suit in such a short 'mount of time?

[She sighs and leans forward.]

I can say I want to marry you but I can't make you marry me. And... yes, you will need to wear a tuxedo. Unless you're interested in being the one in the wedding dress... I wouldn't mind that at all.

[Cu Chulainn is silent for a moment before breaking out into a fit of helpless laughter. Once he finally finishes--and it takes a while--he props a leg up on the table.]

Do I look like I got the legs to pull off a dress?

...Let me rephrase that.

[She looks at his legs.]

I'm wearing a tuxedo. You can either wear a tuxedo and pay for it, or you wear a wedding dress and I'll pay for it.

[Cu Chulainn laughs, running a hand over one of his legs before dropping them back down and resting his chin in one hand to look at her.]

Do ya like 'em? Ya think your parents gonna be okay with a guy in a dress? Wouldn't be the first time for me, by the way. My friends and I gotta...unique sense of humor. Got some real amusin' stories I could tell ya. Sure to make ya smile.

They're fine. They're legs... what more do you want from me?

[She sighs and leans back.]

It's my wedding, I'm paying for it, they can deal with you being in the wedding dress. And I hope you take this seriously.

I'm gonna have to teach ya how ta take the time ta enjoy some of the finer things, ain't I? Guess that's not such a bad thing...

[He rolls his eyes and laughs at her next statement.]

I'm gonna be in a dress. Do ya really expect me ta take anything seriously while I'm dressed like that?

Yes I do.

[She moves to cross her arms.]

You are going to be in a dress and you are going to not do anything to embarrass me or make me look stupid or I guarantee that'll be the last good night you have.

ooo. yeah that's a big problem.
