[Katarina] I came for a minute. I'm already settled. One finger tapping while you finish the lecture. I caught the important bit somewhere in the middle. The rest would've sounded much better with a little— Space. Let it breathe. You're making a ceremony out of taking a seat. I moved a little closer; you forgot what you meant. I'll give you a second. Take a breath. I know which fork to use. I still might take a bite Before the speech is finished if the timing feels right. A delicate subject? I'm getting the gist. You keep clearing your throat. I keep taking a sip. I could sit pretty for a minute, but the minute gets expensive. You've been picking every word; I'm getting interested. You nearly said it. I nearly let you. I like that version of you. Less careful. A little further— That's about enough. I leave it hanging. You pick it up. I make it look accidental. Let it slip, let it slip. I make it look accidental. Just enough to get away with it. Accidental. Let it slip. I could've left it alone— But where's the fun in it? Your coat's on the chair. That's a change of plan. You were halfway through leaving when the record began. I noticed. Kept moving. You've got a decent excuse. You might as well use it. I missed one step, made a turn out of it. You tried to catch up; now you're learning a bit. Keep that little mistake. I prefer it. You were stiff at the start. Now there's something worth working with. I'm particular about the bits you're trying to get rid of. That ridiculous little grin you're covering with your fingers. There. That one. You had it for a second till you checked who was looking. I let the next beat pass. You came in early. I can work with that. Your coat can wait on the back of the chair. I moved mine over. There's room for a pair. You call it ah accident — I caught da way ya planned it Coat on da chair but ya ain't reachin' like you 'bout tq grab it One finga tappin', said ya only “came fo’ ah minute” Now ya sunk into da seat — go 'head and admit ya meant it’ Fork in ya hand but ya ain't touched ah thing on da plate Too busy watchin' me watch you — we could do dis all day Say you “didn't mean to” — yeah, I heard dat befo’ Eerr “accident” ya drop just got me wantin' mo’ I peep da grin you hidin' when ya think I ain't lookin' — tension under da table while da dinna get cold, we cookin' Ya cleared your throat, took ah sip, reset da scene — I caught it though, keep playin', it's clean Da lecture ova, class dismissed, da check can wait You was halfway out da door, now ya stayin' late So keep da act up — I ain't mad at da show You play it accidental, I play along, that's da flow Slide ya coat ah lil closa , make some room fo’ da pair I ain't in ah rush — night still young, and we right here Forget da fork, forget da speech, forget da plan Your eyes already told da truth your lips can't When da lights go low and da record start to fade Whateva ‘bout to happen — we both already made No accident 'bout it, you knew when you walked in Da coat, da chair, da sippin' slow — you set it up to win So take da win, I'm right here, [$lickity$ensei] You call it ah accident — I caught da way ya planned it Coat on da chair but ya ain't reachin' like you 'bout tq grab it One finga tappin', said ya only "came fo’ ah minute" Now ya sunk into da seat — go 'head and admit ya meant it’ Fork in ya hand but ya ain't touched ah thing on da plate Too busy watchin' me watch you — we could do dis all day Say you "didn't mean to" — yeah, I heard dat befo’ Eerr "accident" ya drop just got me wantin' mo’ I peep da grin you hidin' when ya think I ain't lookin' — tension under da table while da dinna get cold, we cookin' [back in pocket] Ya cleared your throat, took ah sip, reset da scene — I caught it though, keep playin', it's clean Da lecture ova, class dismissed, da check can wait You was halfway out da door, now ya stayin' late So keep da act up — I ain't mad at da show You play it accidental, I play along, that's da flow Slide ya coat ah lil closa , make some room fo’ da pair I ain't in ah rush — night still young, and we right here Forget da fork, forget da speech, forget da plan Your eyes already told da truth your lips can't When da lights go low and da record start to fade Whateva ‘bout to happen — we both already made No accident 'bout it, you knew when you walked in Da coat, da chair, da sippin' slow — you set it up to win So take da win, I'm right here, (I peep da grin you hidin' when ya think I ain't lookin' — tension under da table while da dinna get cold, we cookin' [back in pocket] Ya cleared your throat, took ah sip, reset da scene — I caught it though, keep playin', it's clean
