One Perfect Moment - Pied Piper
As requested, my personal favourite Pied Piper moment;
Wally and Hartley (Piper's real name) are chatting. Wally has been working as an IRS agent to pay off some accumulated taxes he owed (long story, long forgotten)
I was sorely tempted to break my own self-imposed 2 page limit to include the next page of Wally's complete (ahem) lack of being flustered by this news, which of COURSE he knew, and of COURSE it doesn't bother him, and goodness gracious is THAT the time, and he really HAS to be somewhere else.
Of course, since Hartley has an IQ which is above single digits, he isn't fooled for a moment, but he finds it rather amusing and somewhat adorable, since he knows Wally just needs a little time to adjust (And, of course, remember that wild weekend in Aruba with Dick, 200 feet of good quality duct tape, and a simply INSANE quantity of tequila)
