I guess I never realized this before, but I rarely have a conversation with King when we’re both sober. Here’s one from this morning.

KING
What you got going today, Benny Boy?

BENNY
Laundry.

KING
Got a little laundry on the agenda, huh?

BENNY
Yeah, but I’m out of dryer sheets, and I hate static cling. I guess I could use some fabric softener spray.

KING
You’re going to need the dryer sheets for static cling. You could use the fabric softener, but all it’s going to do is make your clothes smell nice.

BENNY
What are you – Martha Stewart?

KING
(Laughs) Nope. Just sober.

BENNY
Let’s talk later.

KING
Agreed.

At a red light in the sunshine. On a Sunday. Nothin’ to say. Don’t even try.
