Alex

Understatement of the century

Elliot

And you said that Franny the fanny pack comes with you everywhere, right?

Alex

She does. She’s my emotional support bag.

Elliot

So…do you wear her under your pads?

Alex

God, I wish. I tried to lobby the team to let me add her to my uniform, but no such luck. Franny brings me luck from her home in my locker during games.

Elliot

Hmm. I bet she’d like to see you play sometime. Do you think Franny could still bring you luck from the stands?

Alex

I think she could bring me luck anywhere, but I’m afraid if I get her a ticket with her own seat, someone might take her.

Elliot

You’re adorable.

I thought maybe I could bring Franny to watch you play. Maybe in a few weeks, the Hockey Cares benefit night? A bunch of guys from my team are going to be there in the crowd anyway.

Seems…serenditpitous.

Alex

Elliot

Alex

Oh? What are they?

Elliot

Watching my new friend play, duh.

Alex

Oh…
