Bill Gates: San Diego Int’l to General Manuel Marquez De Leon Int'l on his Cessna Citation Excel
[Earlier that evening, at the Gates manse…]
Bill: Ten hour-long phone calls last month alone to Mount Kisco. Who do we know in Mount Kisco?
Melinda: What?
Bill: I said ‘who do we know it Mount Kisco?’
Melinda: My Aunt Fannie’s daughter-in-law, Rachel.
Bill: Oh, right. Rachel, yes. How is Rachel?
Melinda: Good, she just had her baby.
Bill: Yes, right. Well I’m just thinking that it wouldn’t hurt any of us to really hunker down and try to keep the long distance calls to a min—
Melinda: Hey, Bill? Do you want to do something crazy tonight?
Bill: -imum. Money doesn't grow on trees and--
Melinda: Bill, listen to me, I’m being serious. Do you want to do something crazy?
Bill: Oh, um, gee, what’d you have in mind?
Melinda: I don’t know I just feel like we’re stuck in a rut. Let’s do something we’ve never done before.
Bill: You want to eat breakfast for dinner?
Melinda: No, Bill, something crazy.
Bill: You want to watch Friends with the Spanish subtitles on?
Melinda: No, Bill, something crazy.
Bill: You want stay up all night?
Melinda: NO BILL I WANT TO DO SOMETHING CRAZY!!!
Bill: I’m sorry, Melinda, I’m fresh out of ideas. I’m not some stud horse that can bring home the bacon AND come up with ‘crazy’ ways to entertain you, okay? I can’t- I can’t think of anything, okay? And I think this is a little unfair of you, you know I’ve been having a hard time with Sergey and Larry and now you want me to be the activities director of this cruise ship, too? I’m serious Melinda, what the eff? I’d say let’s go to Mexico, but you’d probably just shoot that down, too, just like you shot down my idea for email for cats and—
Melinda: Email for cats and Mexico are hardly the same Bill.
Bill: You mean Mexico isn't a brilliant moneymaking scheme? Because I still think you prematurely shot that down, you always do that to me and—
Melinda: No, I mean it would be crazy to go to Mexico. Pack the jet.
Bill: Pack it for what?
Melinda: Really, Bill?
Bill: Pack it for what?
Melinda: MEXICO!
Bill: Mexico? That's crazy!
