You've reached the number of Dr. Henry McCoy, the by bits bludgeoning but basically benevolent Beast! I'm afraid I'm unavailable at the moment, perhaps busying myself in the lab, in the middle of an important conversation, or simply just otherwise occupied. There's also the distinct possibility that I'd gone out but forgotten to bring my phone, in which case I do apologize, but if you be so kind as to lea-- *BEEP*

You don't understand the concept of being completely drunk, do you?

[professorlionface]

In this case? No, probably not. Blackouts are for younger men, I think.

[ioudas]

Did you just call me old?

[professorlionface]

No, I called us old. [They are about the same age, he seems to remember.] Or, if anything, just not young.

[ioudas]

Argh, you called me old! (WHO CARES ABOUT HANK'S FEELINGS?) That's rude.

[professorlionface]

You're only half a week younger than I am, calm down!

[ioudas]

That's so rude, though!

[professorlionface]

What's so rude about recognizing that we're no longer as young as we used to be? It's simply remaining aware of the movement of time, that we have to move with it.

[ioudas]

(that juvenile groaning is only going to get louder.)

[professorlionface]

[Whatever man he's just going to put his attention into his bourbon instead.]

There's really no excuse for acting like such a child at your age.

[ioudas]

You're so insensitive, Henry.

[professorlionface]

Give me something to be sensitive to. This is just whining.

[ioudas]

Oh please, I'm allowed to have this one thing.

[professorlionface]

Not while I'm physically older than you are. What's the point in it?

[ioudas]

Am I the young man in the room?

[professorlionface]

If it makes you feel better to think that, then sure! By all means, claim the title.

[ioudas]

As long as I'm younger, who cares?

[professorlionface]

That's exactly what I was trying to say!

[ioudas]

Shut up, I'm drunk.

[professorlionface]

You're sensitive.

[ioudas]

A man is allowed vanity.

[professorlionface]

It's funny how much these things can be revealed for being the simple social constructs they are by how greatly they shift over time.

[ioudas]

Henry, what part of I'm drunk do you not understand?

[professorlionface]

You mean you don't ramble on about sociological oddities when you're drunk?

[ioudas]

No, I get drunk and wake up on a train to India.
