I'm turing this post into a movie---featuring Peter O'Toole as the Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper and Jodie Foster as Susan. It's called "The Nurse Patient".
Susan: Home for the night?
Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper: This is every Saturday night for me. Just tending the lamp!
Susan: Wait... why?
Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper: I'm not sure. It usually ends when I tie my bedsheets around my neck in a noose-but they always seem to come undone when I jump.
Susan: (LOL) You should take a knot making class-you know? Widen your horizons.
Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper: Yes, maybe I should. At any rate it allows me to save money.
Susan: Oh- Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper... it's too late now but you should have called me and told me you had nothing to do! You are welcome to come out with me and my friends... I mean, they are mostly all fish mongers but it passes the time.
Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper: Are you high?
Susan: No, but I'm planning on drinking tonight.
Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper: Well, thanks for the invite- but I'm a misfit... what can I say?!
Susan: That's cool but you could still come chill sometime.
Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper: I tried to chill once, I'm physically unable.
Susan: I mean I don't really think you're THAT COOL, ya know? But maybe I could get some "action" from you. Depends on how much you drink I guess.
Crumudgeonly Lighthouse Keeper: Well, I think you're cool Susan.
Susan: Ya-you know... I can be... I DO have great hair!
