A/N: So I read a story one time on the O.C. side that was totally a conversation. There were no who said what and where. It was told in the story. I thought it was neat and always wanted to write one. So here it is. I hope you like it.

3 word prompts: octopus, diaper, Bobby Flay.... give to me by the wonderful kathiann

Pairings: Jane and Lisbon

Genre: Jane and Lisbon Banter... is that a genre? LOL

Disclaimer: I have nothing witty to say here, so I'll just say I don't own them and be done with it LOL

Enjoy :) It's short and sweet LOL

Chapter 7: The Restaurant

"I'm not eating that."

"Sure you are."

"No, I'm not."

"What? Is the mighty Lisbon scared of a little ocean dweller?"

"It's an octopus, Jane. And I wouldn't eat it even if Bobby Flay cooked it himself."

"I expected more from you."

"You expected wrong."

"So... you really aren't going to eat it?"

"I'm really not going to eat it."

"Hmm..."

"What?"

"Don't sound so ticked. I just said, 'Hmmm'."

"But you said it in that tone."

"What tone?"

"That tone. Oh stop smiling."

"I always smile. It's what I do. I wonder, why is it bothering you so much today?"

"It's not."

"Oh, me thinks you protest too much."

"Well, me thinks you smile to much."

"I could always be stoic like Cho."

"I'd pay money to see that."

"Really? You'd really rather me not smile ever again."

"Well--- maybe not ever again."

"So you like my smile."

"No--"

"You don't?"

"Oh stop faking hurt. You're just playing with me."

"Lisbon, I'm simply trying to enjoy a meal with you, but you won't eat your octopus. Why did you order it anyway?"

"I thought it was chicken."

"You don't read French? You should learn. Makes life easier when you go to a French restaurant."

"I guess so."

"Oh come on. Where is your sense of adventure? Try it."

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"For me? Don't give me that look. You know you want too."

"I know I'd rather eat a dirty diaper."

"That's disgusting. Have you ever actually seen a dirty diaper?"

"It was a figure of speech, Jane. What are you eating?"

"Hmm.. Chicken."

"You got chicken?"

"Yes."

"And you like octopus?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then why did you get chicken."

"Because-- I knew you couldn't read French. Wanna switch?"
