Ringing In My Ear

New Girl: Do a u-turn here.

hb: A u-turn? Here??

NG: Not a u-turn u-turn u-turn.

hb: ?!

----------------------------

NG: Yakkity yakkity yak yak yakkity yak.

hb: Sorry, sorry, I missed that. I wasn't paying attention. I haven't been an attention payer.

NG: Oh I know, I know. I saw some attention the other day. I asked it, "Have you been paid lately?" and it said, "Yeah, but not by hazelblackberry."

“Not a U-Turn-U-TURN, u-turn”… Clearly, what I mean was: Not an ‘illegal u-turn’, but a modified one. Where we fake an intention to turn 90 degrees into a driveway to attend to some long overdue business, and then at the last second we change our minds - which as private subjects of this country we are free to do - and do a 180. This backstory, accompanied by flailing arms and other wild gesturing from inside the car makes many otherwise illegal road moves completely fine. You must owe my emphasis some attention. I’ll add it to your account.

But I can't remember whose arms were flailing and who was wildly gesturing. Somehow I think it could be important.
