Writers Do Math

There are but 12 sitting on the table.

We spoke just minutes before
but The Senior Writer comes to me
bearing a calculator.

The Senior Writer: You know, if you really do the math, that's it. That's all of it.


So, I stop what I'm doing and we both do the math. Them plus them, plus those two, plus these guys, plus those fellas... Shit, she's right. That's it. That's all 12 of it. That. Is. It.


Pam Song: Awessum.

The Senior Writer: Blossom.

We laugh.

Although we know that
it's not quite that funny at all.
