Incoming call from Chris

Becca
Hi there

Chris
Hey

Becca
Are you at the airport?

Chris
Yeah

Becca
When's your flight?

Chris
Thirty minutes

His voice was clipped and he sounded tense.

Becca
So how are you doing?

Chris
Feeling a bit antsy, to be honest

He sounds really stressed, poor thing.

Becca
Because of the flying?

Chris
Yeah

Becca
I thought you had some stuff that you take...

Chris
Yeah, but it knocks me out, so I can't take it until I'm on the plane

Becca
Ah, I see.

Maybe I can distract him a little.

Becca
So, what are you doing right now?

Chris
Just wandering round the stores

Becca
Found anything good?

Chris
Not really

Becca
Are you just stumbling around under the weight of all the Lindt chocolates you're buying?

Chris
<Laughing> Yes, of course. Don't worry, I hadn't forgotten

Becca
Excellent!

Chris
They had so many different types of Lindt chocolates in the store! I didn't know they made so much - do you have a favourite?

Becca
Not really, I like anything that Lindt make

Chris
How about those little balls with the melty middles?

Becca
You mean the Lindor ones? Oh yeah, they're so good!

Chris
They gave me a couple to try in the Lindt store

Becca
They gave you free chocolate? They've never done that for me! The perks of being famous, eh? What did you think of them?

Chris
They're really nice. I don't think I've ever had Lindt chocolate before, but I like it

Becca
Hey - don't you get any ideas about eating my chocolates!

Chris
<Laughing> I'm not making any promises.

Chris
So what are you doing?

Becca
I'm sitting down with a hot chocolate and watching one of my favourite films

Chris
Disney or Marvel?

Becca
<Laughing> Ha, neither! You don't know me as well as you think you do!

Chris
So what is it?

Becca
Addams Family Values. It's really funny

Chris
Is that the first one or the second?

Becca
The second. Have you seen it?

Chris
Err..I think so - what happens in it?

Becca
It's the one where Uncle Fester marries the psycho nanny and Wednesday and Pugsley get sent to summer camp.

Chris
Oh yeah, I've seen it

Becca
I absolutely love it. The humour is so dark and Wednesday is just so savage
