The differences in Matt and Emily personalities makes them good partners, good friends, and good lovers. But it is also what got them here. It is why they are standing in the men's section, looking at a row of suits and not moving. It's why they've been standing here by the mirrors for 20 minutes. In 30 minutes they have to be home, showered, dressed, and ready to be picked up by the car that the bureau is sending. Matt had yet to pick a suit, or a tie, for the banquet being held in their honor.
"Matt, you've just got to pick. Seriously. We aren't gonna have enough time to get home, much less showered and dressed before the car gets there"
"Then tell me what you think. The gray suit or the blue one? "
" Matt, that suit is black, not blue. And which tie are you gonna get? Red or green?
"I dunno. Does it really matter?"
"Matt, uggh. Just pick, and then we'll go and we might be able to get to your house before Cheryl and Frank are there to pick us up"
"If you're so worried about, you pick it, hand it to me, and I'll go pay for it. Hey, I'll give you the credit card and you can pay for it. I'll meet you at the car."
"You will not. Tell you what.." Emily started to negotiate, frustrated as she was by Matt's indecision. " I'll pick the tie I like best and then you can choose the suit you want to go with it, deal?
"Yeah, Yeah. Maybe you'll see it's not that easy. "
"Matt! It's a suit, they are identical except for the color--it shouldn't be that hard of a choice. "
"Exactly, and I'd be happy to have you make that EASY choice for me. "
"No, no, we made a deal. I'm picking the green tie and you have 2 minutes to make your choice and meet me at the register or I'll call Frank and tell him you can't pick an outfit"
"It's not an outfit, it's a suit!"
"90 seconds or I'm sending in tactical"
"Emily--- I dunno"
" 60 seconds, see you there Matt"
45...30...15...10
"Okay, Okay, I've made up my mind"
"Which one?"
10...9...
"The gray, why? I thought you didn't care"
6...5..
"Really, the gray, huh? This is a fancy party, lots of nice food, important people..."
4...3...
"Emily, if you wanted to choose..."
"No, no, it's fine...your clothes, your choice"
2...1...
Thanks. I actually just bought the black, but I thought I'd keep you on your toes, find out how long you'd let me go without your input."
"I'm just glad that you made the right choice in time for us to get back and get ready. Of course, we might save time if we, uh, combined showers."
