this actually happened

scene: three of us. i'm man 3, quiet, in the back seat. man 2 is driving us to dinner.

man 1: so how's the guest house coming along?

man 2: rockin', man, rockin' ... it's coming along well ... we've got the frame built, and the steel is up already.

man 1: steel? for the frame?

man 2: no. steel roof.

man 1: ah.

man 1: did you get the driveway done?

man 2: driveway?

man 1: yeah ... when i was out there, you were working on the driveway. laying tile or concrete, i think?

man 2: no, we're not doing anything in the driveway.

man 1: are you sure? i remember the driveway being all torn up.

man 2: no, dude ... nothing in the driveway. oh oh oh -- you're thinking of the floor in the guest house.

(silence for a bit)

man 2: we're looking for a gay guy, very meticulous -- well, they all are, but very meticulous, very neat. someone who can walk the dogs -- you know the kind.

man 1: yeah.

man 2: and he'll need it, like, one week a month. so we can rent it out.

man 1: how much?

man 2: $2500.

man 1: $2500?

man 2: yeah. dude, that's rent in LA. that's not too expensive. we're looking for that gay guy, or maybe we'll give it to a struggling actor or something -- you know, he can walk the dogs, take out the garbage, and stay there. it's like you'll get privacy, we'll get privacy. it'll be awesome.

man 1: yeah.
