You have the conversation in bed the night before.
You do their lines as well.
In there they take it well.
The right question at the right moment.
You fall asleep on that version.
You tell them in the morning.
They're looking for their keys while you say it.
They say good on you and mean it.
Something drops.
You'd been carrying a better script since midnight.
Nobody was ever going to match it.
They were working from nothing.
Which is the only honest way to do it.
