Shosanna Dreyfuss & Anders Johnson

He opened his mouth to answer her, when the bell that signified the end of the last round rang. It seemed like time was anticipating his needs. "I heard there was an after party for this thing. If you were looking forward to that, I could wait for you, or I could just show you my newly decorated apartment now."
