Once Something Is Dry

What's that, info blurb? He meets a "free-spirited, Hollywood streetwalker"?

*skepticism* And *that* is Julia Roberts? *laughs*

So, what you're telling me is, that Julia Roberts was once, actually, briefly happy for a time.

I'm not even sure how to say it-- Julia Roberts was happy. *gestures* I can't believe it; I don't believe what my eyes are telling me-- Julia Roberts, happy! *more gestures*

Well, what's so difficult to believe about it?

Hmm. I don't know. I guess that I can believe it.... After all, that was way back.... 1990--that was what, Season 1 of Seinfeld, or something, right?

"Maybe you're right."

"Maybe I'm right? Of course I'm right."

"This is insane. You know, I don't even know where she's staying! She, she's not going to call me, this is unbelievable."

"I know, I know.... Listen, your stuff has to be done by now, why don't you just see if it's dried?"

"No no no, don't interrupt the cycle. The machine is working; it knows what it's doing; just let it finish."

"You're gonna 'overdry' it."

"You, you can't 'overdry'."

"Why not?"

"Same as you can't 'overwet'.... You see, once something is wet, it's wet. Same thing with dead: once you die you're dead, right? Let's say you drop dead and I shoot you: you're not gonna die again, you're already dead. You can't 'overdie'; you can't 'overdry'."

I couldn't agree more.

And, like I said, I knew that it wasn't going to last.

But even the idea is a touch amusing-- Julia Roberts, was happy.

" 'Edward'-- that's my favorite name in the whole world."

(a) 1990, or (b) 2005.

'Correct' answer-- (a) 1990. ;)
