[ STEALING SHIT. ]

art critic.

[ close enough. ]

i dabble in wine collecting on the weekends

Oh. I don't really know much about art. Or wine, for that matter.

I'm pretty much a science nerd.

[ STEALING SHIT, SHE COULD HAVE RELATED TO. ]

not a lot of people do.

too bad i dont know shit about science.

But there's a lot of science in art, really. I mean color is all about chemical composition and light reflection, and then you have the geometry of shapes, and you've got to deal with perspective, and the portrayal of movement. You might not consciously think of it as science but it's still there, right?

dated a girl who did restoration once
she went on about that stuff

can't say it's my bag, but it's not boring.

Science is never boring.

I'm sure the same is true about art, I've just never had an actual conversation about it, so I couldn't say.

lemme introduce you to my associate
give him an inch and he'll talk your ear off about art.

But not you? I thought you were an art critic, doesn't that mean you'd talk my ear off about art too?

nah
i like to keep my work out of my personal life

I'd probably feel the same if I had a personal life.

should look into getting one of those.
i hear they're pretty cheap.

I suppose seeing as how I can't do my job here, I'm going to have to. That or sit in my room all day staring at the wall. Any suggestions?

hear there's a bar around here.

So I've been told. You don't know if this bar comes equipped with a pool table, do you?

never been, couldn't tell you.
you shoot a good game?

I'd hate to think it was just rows of miserable people drowning their sorrows.

I shoot a brilliant game.

maybe there's karaoke. to complete that mental image. nothing's more miserable than karaoke.

you'll have to show me sometime.

Especially not when it's performed by sad, drunken people. Probably singing sad, drunken songs.

Got anything worth laying a wager with?

better sad, drunken songs than the shit they play on the radio.

nothing but the clothes on my back.

Honestly I mostly listen to classical music.

Well I suppose we could just make it a friendly game, then.

just classical? jesus, you really do gotta get out more.

call it a warm up. when we get stuff to barter with, we can do it for real.

There's nothing wrong with classical music! What do you think I should be listening to?

Sounds fair to me. When are you free, and where can we find a pool table?

we'll work on it.
not like i got any music on me to pass off.

always, sweetheart.
the perks of being trapped on a space station.
there's probably a table in the bar. first place we'll head.

Wonder if there's any in the media library...

I really ought to get a name if I'm going to bruising your pride over a game of pool. Some way of knowing who you are when I get there too, maybe?

matthew keller.

i'll be the guy by the pool table
