– She’s a kneebuckler, I’m sure of it.
– A what?
– Kneebuckler, you know kneebuckler?
– Not personally.
– No no. A kneebuckler is a woman so beautiful in who she is she buckles your needs. Retaining the ability to stand can be an issue.
– You mean it’s more than looks.
– Can be, of course.
– So meet her sitting down.
– That’s not all though.
– All what?
– That’s not all kneebucklers do to you.
– I don’t understand.
– When you meet someone you’re supposed to talk.
– That’s what they say.
– Who says?
– I don know, it’s an expression, that’s what they say, an expression.
– You’re supposed to talk –
– When you meet someone.
– Right. But if she’s a kneebuckler that can be difficult.
– Talking?
– Apparently you think I’m a kneebuckler because you’re not having an easy time talking yourself right now.
– I don’t think you’re a kneebuckler. Nobody’s think that.
– Then try concentrating on what I’m saying here.
– Okay.
– You meet a kneebuckler, retaining the ability to speak coherently is at risk.
– So what do you do?
– Try not to stare.
– That doesn’t make any sense, you have to look at her.
– I know I have look at her, but I don’t have to stare.
– Stare meaning…?
– Your eyes glaze over, you hope to God you’re not dribbling. And you try to remember to nod when she says something.
– What if she asks you a question?
– Tell the truth, always tell the truth.
– Tell the truth and don’t dribble.
– There ya go.
– Then maybe that’s the way you approach things like this.
– Tell the truth and don’t dribble.
– There ya go.
