[Mercury runs up to Jupiter's front door]
Mercury: Jupiter! Are you home?
Jupiter: Mercury! What are you doing here?
Mercury: Remember you asked me to find out about John's book?
Jupiter: What? That makes no sense! Merc, you told me there wasn't any book...you said he had a bunch of them half done. And shouldn't you be out of breath?
Mercury: When I'm going forward I'm pretty damn fast anyway, Jove. Can I come in?
Jupiter: Sure. [holds door for Mercury]
Mercury: Thanks! [Door closes] You told me to go look at John's Erin Condren planner, and I snuck a peek the one day while he was at work. I didn't find anything there, so that was a bust.
Jupiter: [confused look] So? I question the necessity of you running all the way here just to tell me THAT, Merc. I just picked up South Park and Philosophy. So far it's pretty good...and now you're keeping me from it. So if there's nothing else...?
Mercury: Jupiter, do you really think I would come all the way down here just to tell you that? I'd have texted you.
Jupiter: Good point, fact face. So speaking of points, you do have one, right?
Mercury: My point was to tell you that if you could stop the witty repartee for a few minutes and LISTEN to me, there IS a book and I have the proof.
Jupiter: [mouth drops open] Excuse me?
Mercury: I wasn't going to put this in an email or text message. Ready to believe me now?
Jupiter: [stares at pictures] HOLY. SHIT. In Their Own Words: The Major Arcana of the Tarot. THAT SCORPIO SONOFABITCH! He never said a WORD to me!
Mercury: Me either! But now we know. John needs to stop leaving his screen unlocked. And no, I don't have any other information right now. No release date, but it's likely soon. No excerpt. Nothing. But I thought you should know.
Jupiter: Merc, I owe you BIG TIME for this one. Everyone's going to hear about this fucking book!
Mercury: You can take it from here, Mr. Expansive. Have a wonderful day!
That is so awesome! Congratulations! Can't wait to buy it and read it.
