Jail Love Birds

     "All the other couples here hugging and kissing....why don't you?"

     "Maybe they're not sitting with their mother-in-laws."

     "If that's the case, then I'll take a walk."

     "Mah, sit down! I wanted to see the both of you."

     "I can go for a stroll around the yard with the baby."

     "You mean the patch of dirt near the picnic tables? Mah, just stay here......"

     "Please mom, stop fidgeting.  I'm pregnant and visiting your son upstate. I didn't wake up at 5 am to come all the way here to stick my tongue down his throat."

     "Love is lost......I was so afraid of this happening."

     "Mah.....Zee and I are fine. Not your problem..... Tell me, what are the lawyers saying? Did they file for the appeal yet?"

     "He said we have to wait it out."

     "Fuck'in idiots. There are people out there who've done way worse than me...left the scene of the accident and got no jail time. It's the repeat offenders that get all the perks."

     "maybe they also didn't have 2 dead pedestrians."

     "Jay-walking between double-parked cars at midnight!!! I DIDN'T SEE THEM!!!"

     "Ahhh, conversations well worth a flight from JFK to Buffalo, and then the hour drive to this facility, and let's not forget we had to wait another hour till after the count."

     "I'm sorry....but I'm dying in here Zee."

     "You've got it wrong. You're killing us in here. Please, don't talk about all the headaches...we talk about them every day.  I'm fine just to sit here and hold your hand."

    "Doesn't she look beautiful Joe?"

     "Yeah mah, she does."

     "So then tell her."

     "You just did!....  Mah, give us a few minutes?"

     "She's insane.....are you listening to her?"

     "I'm trying hard not to.  I don't need to hear my mother in law give tips to her son on foreplay."

     "Ert, stop it, I'm nauseous......how are we going to do this Zee?"

     "Wait it out I guess.  Try not to be a bigger pain in the ass than when you're at home?  Don't piss anyone here off."

     "I love you."

     "I know."
