Would you come dancing if they played Sting?

[Don't subject Ruby City to that . . .]

[lapidarius]

I-I don't know--that really doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd do regardless of what was playing.

[silvercrusader]

Suit yourself.

[He won't push tonight. He'll try again another night, absolutely, but tonight's not the night. Instead:]

You can conspire with me to convince Bruno to come dancing instead. And-- oye, did you know he's all leery about winter? I said, oh, it'll be great, and all of a sudden it's ohh, I don't like winter, it's too cold, I don't want to go into the snow. So there, that's two things you can help me convince him to do: dancing and actually experiencing snow.

[lapidarius]

I'm not certain, but I don't think it gets very cold in that part of Italy. Maybe he's just not used to it.

[silvercrusader]

It doesn't, but that's no excuse! He's been here for a year!

[lapidarius]

Compared to how many years in a temperate climate? One winter isn't just going to magically acclimate one to a different standard.

[silvercrusader]

Yeah, so maybe shoving snow down his sweater will.

[lapidarius]

Just don't come crying 'Noriaki, I need help' when he unzips your arm from your shoulder or something.

[silvercrusader]

He would never, he loves me. The first time he unzipped me he felt so bad he made me lunch afterwards.

[That's . . . certainly an interpretation of the events.]

[lapidarius]

...I'm pretty sure he still would if you dumped snow all over him. And I think that would probably be justified.

[silvercrusader]

He definitely wouldn't. And don't take his side! You're my best friend, not his!

[lapidarius]

I'm not taking your side if you're going to antagonize people! I do just fine with that on my own!

[silvercrusader]

And I would support you in that any time.

[Is that true, Polnareff?]

[lapidarius]

Okay. Then I'm going to throw snowballs at Giorno one day when he walks out of the house and we'll see what happens.

[he's on to you.]

[silvercrusader]

[HIS SON VERSUS HIS BEST FRIEND . . . god, talk about Sophie's choice. But one's here and one isn't, so:]

And I will support you during that time of rabid animal attack.

[lapidarius]

I'll be sure to tell him you said that.

[silvercrusader]

Why are you punishing me for supporting you!

[lapidarius]

I'm proving a point, Jean. Don't make me take sides just because you want to antagonize Buccellati.

[silvercrusader]

It's not antagonizing. It's getting him used to the cold. It's practically a kindness, Kakyoin. Just be happy I'm not doing it to you.

[lapidarius]

No, you should be happy. Because if you did it to me, you'd have a broken arm.
