(The latter half of Meg and Dia pops in)
AS: Hi Dia!
Dia: Hello!
AS: You guys are wearing dresses today? Are you wearing a dress?
Dia: Yeah.
AS: I'm pretty excited for you guys. Well, your sister, it was the first time I'd ever seen her in a dress, I was like freaked
out. This is Dia.
RJ: Hey!
AS: We're doing an interview.
Dia: An interview? Oh, sorry!
(Dia quickly exits the room!)
[...]
RJ: Yeah, so we hit movies, T.V. shows, soap operas and comics. What about tunes?
AS: Oh good call.
[At this point in time, Steven ditches us on a phone call. Cait beckons Dia to the interview to fill in]
RJ: We were talking about God knows what because we don't really prepare too well for interviews.
Dia: That's ok, neither do I.
RJ: Ok, good I'll ask the same question to you I asked with him, which is what do you want to talk about?
Dia: Umm I want to talk about ... hang on let me think about this for a second. I think I want to talk about how your family affects you when you grow up.
RJ: Ok, go. Run with that.
RC: This is a deep conversation.
D: Have you ever seen like a...
[Steven returns with friend]
RJ: She's in the interview now. The topic is how family affects your growing up.
D: Just the other day I saw like this two-year-old boy had like a tattoo already. Like on his neck.
AS: What? Two?
D: Yeah! Well, he had to be two, he was like this big. [Gestures the size with her hands] I know you can't hear how "this big" is.
AS: Was he from like New Zealand or something?
D: No it was in Utah, actually. It was like a spider, and I was just like that's so interesting because he's like two years old and he has a tattoo already and his dad was like totally like, like you know...
RJ: Metal?
D: Like full sleeves and piercings and stuff, which is totally, cool but I was just like that kid is gonna be so different than how he would be if he was raised in my family, or he'd be different if he was raised in like some like Buddhist family.
RJ: They don't have tattooed two year olds in your family?
D: No we have Pokemon obsessed people.
RJ: Are you Pokemon obsessed?
D: No, but I used to be sailor moon obsessed.
RJ: Oh yeah?
D: Yes, but anyways I was just like yeah, um, it really affects how your family is and how you grow up. I think it has so much to do with whether you are a good person or a bad person and essentially, the whole point of living is to be good or evil, says John Steinbeck.
RJ: How do you feel about that?
AS: She's got a point.
RJ: Yeah? You think there's only good or evil?
D: Yeah, that's the whole point of living.
AS: Wait a minute, what?
D: Is to find out if you want to be good or evil. And I choose to be in the middle!
RJ: But then you already broke it. You already broke the rule.
D: What do you mean?
RJ: If it's a good or evil there's no third choice.
AS: Good point. He's got you philosophically.
D: I know actually, I don't choose to be in the middle, but I don't think I can be all good.
AS: I don't think anybody can be all good.
D: That's true but I just don't exactly know what I think all good is.
AS: What's all bad?
D: Well I don't know I mean... You know...
AS: You're destroying the whole gambit.
D: Anyways, that's Anberlin and his friend.
RJ: Hey friend...
D: He showed me a picture of you on his phone.
AS: No I didn't!
D: [Cackles] He totally didn't. And he didn't say you were cute.
AS: [Turning a lovely shade of crimson] DIA!
[Dia runs out of the room]
AS: Can I just go punch her real fast?
RJ: She caught you.
RC: I'd like to take this moment to point out how red his face is.
AS: [Turns more red] I'm not, it's not.
RJ: It's very pink.
AS: Alright, Alright, so we were talking about music.
D: [Pokes her head back in the room] Steven is awesome, put that in there.
AS: Wow. Not funny. |
