Lindsay reached across the table and stole on of Danny's fries.
"Hey!" He protested.
"What?" Lindsay inquired innocently.
"I asked if you wanted me to order you some fries and you said no."
"I didn't want fries, think of it this way I'm just helping you protect your waist line." Lindsay suggested.
"What about your waist line?" Danny inquired.
"I have a healthy metabolism." She shrugged.
"You mean you can eat like a truck driver and not put on an ounce."
"Like I said a healthy metabolism."
"So you're just going to steal my fries?"
"Yes." Lindsay replied. "Stealing another one."
"Okay." He paused. "So if I'd made it back to the lab on time we'd have had a couple hours before the movie."
"Actually we could have just seen the earlier showing. But since we had time this seemed like a good idea."
"Are you still going to want popcorn?" Danny inquired.
"Of course."
"Why did I even ask?" Danny asked rhetorically
"I don't know." Lindsay answered.
CSI NY CSI NY
"So what are we going to see?" Danny inquired as they walked towards the cinema which was a few blocks from where they had eaten.
"I'm not telling you. You can go to the concession stand while I buy the tickets."
"This was my idea so I'll pay." Danny said.
"I know you will which is why I alleviated you of twenty bucks earlier."
"You took twenty bucks out of my wallet without me noticing?" Danny questioned. "You know we have laws against that type of things Detective."
"There are laws against sending a bomb through the mail but that doesn't stop people doing that."
"That's a stupid thing to mention."
"Lighten up." Lindsay told him.
"Someone sent you a bomb in the mail that was intended to kill you." Danny reminded her.
"And if I take it too seriously and focus on that I'll go insane. I need to focus on something else. Let's just go and get distracted for a few hours and then we can go home and then we can go home and you can figure out another way to distract me."
"Okay." Danny agreed knowing exactly what she meant.
Lindsay stood in the queue and purchased the tickets and she then went and found Danny who had his hands full with a large popcorn, two large sodas and other assorted confectionary items.
"So can I know what we're seeing now?" He asked.
Lindsay held the tickets up so he could see them.
"Seriously."
"Why not?" Lindsay shrugged.
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show?"
"I thought you'd prefer a classic to a chick flick."
"I didn't think they even showed this in theatres any more."
"There's a town in Germany where they have shown it every week since it came out." Lindsay informed him.
"You can't say much for Germany David Hasselhoff is one of their biggest selling artists."
"It's what I wanted to see." Lindsay shrugged. "I should probably also mention that Hawkes may know that you watched Beaches and Steel Magnolias with me."
"Watching those movies with your girlfriend is kind of like a right of passage."
"Right of passage?"
"A guy won't watch those movies unless he really likes a woman, or he's trying to get some. Usually both."
"Interesting."
"And if a guy likes them, it might be a good hint that he's gay." Danny explained.
"I'll bear that in mind for future reference." Lindsay stated.
