《 Listen Up! 》

we ran upstairs, giggling. opening the kitchen door. music loud. wine glasses in hands. jumping up and down.

a dickhead flatmate walked in. giggling stopped.

DICKHEAD
what are you listening?

POOPI
it's joy division.

DICKHEAD
(taking out a bag of frozen pre-packaged gnocchi from the fridge)
sure is loud.

POOPI
if you don't like it, we can listen to something else. what do you like? do you like indie music?

VOICE-OVER
bugger off. bugger off NOW!

DICKHEAD
oh i love indie, i love jack johnson.

we unplugged the ipod speaker. turned on the radio. then rushed out the door. started cracking up across the hall, so hard we were gasping for air.
