It’s symbolic

The dancing lady with the crown is you, because you seem like a princess (I mean that in a good way)
the drinks are me asking if you want to find a bar and get shitfaced
and the woman with the crossed arms and the praise hands are me saying that there will be no slapping allowed at this outing

and you don’t need to sign off text messages
i mean you can but it’s weird, 💃🏻👑

[maisel]

Oh. I was told it was like a letter. People usually sign letters.

I'm not sure there is a bar, I think it's just the inn.

How do I sign off, then?

[magnitudes]

think of it more like a conversation that might have pauses but never really ends
I mean do what feels right though, 💃🏻👑
Love your best life

*live tour best loaf

oh fuck off why is typing so fucking hard

anyway you could probably just tell someone to fuck off and it’d still sound classy

1/2

[maisel]

It's less classy if you get arrested for it twice in one month.

2/2

[maisel]

PS. Is this better?

[magnitudes]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

that’s perfect
in fact you might be perfect, tell me everything

[maisel]

Two counts. Profanity and indecent exposure.

And the judge was such an asshole!

[magnitudes]

what's indecent exposure in your day, a bit of ankle?

[maisel]

Showed an entire club my tits to prove a point.

[magnitudes]

well now I feel like a dick
I mean, definitely a strong move, really decisive
maybe a little incautious

[maisel]

Oh, it was nothing, just the worst night of my life. Point was proven, though.

Second time was just more profanity. Less showing everyone the girls.

[magnitudes]

and that's the main thing, really

look I'm kind of shit at most things, including talking, but given that "worst night of my life" came up in conversation that I initiated and then maybe could lead to you being stuck thinking of said night, like

if you want to talk, ever? about stuff? I definitely owe you one given that you have a strong "Miriam was right" lead and I'm in the "Sarissa's a fucking moron" corner
which I realise doesn't make sense and me being a dumbass doesn't necessarily fuel confidence or whatever

my point is, we're in a weird situation and we're in it together, so if you want a buddy or something

[maisel]

Thank you, Sarissa. That's very kind of you.

It's not all terrible. I think it made me stronger. Besides, I found a career because of it. Or I had a career? I'm still not fully convinced we're dead.

You're not a fucking moron, you just don't have a single shred of self-preservation. Big difference.

My thumbs hurt from typing this much. I'm almost beginning to see the appeal of those Shorthand girls.

[magnitudes]

Don't let word get around. I have a reputation to maintain.

You do seem like a strong lady. What's the career, though? If it's contract killing then don't tell me, but just nod significantly next time I see you.

I mean, why not both?

Don't worry, one day you'll be strong like me. Thumb war champion. Thenar eminences tremble when I enter a room.

[maisel]

I slay, it's just an audience. I'm a Comedian. And before you ask, I can't sing and I don't dance. It's stand up.

I'd love to be as strong as you, but I really don't want to get too many muscles. Looks great on you, but it doesn't really go with my physique.

[magnitudes]

That's heaps good. People ask about the singing and dancing a lot, I take it?

( There's a bit of a pause, as Sarissa looks down at herself, hoisting up her shirt to look at her abdomen. She's not sure if that was a backhanded compliment, or an actual compliment. )

I mean
your physique can be whatever you want it to be, so long as you're healthy and happy, right?
like if you wanted to be ripped or whatever and you're just aren't because people have told you that wouldn't suit you or whatever, they can get fucked
