”Uhh…yeah…sure” June replied faintly looking up from the easel which she was painting on. She’d been distracted focusing on trying to mix the perfect shade of blue for her image to match the a perfect Californian ocean which was perfect for surfing that she’d accidentally stopped listening for a second and lost track of the conversation. “Alright– I’m not going to lie. I totally spaced and have no idea what you were just talking about.” She admitted biting on her lower lip as she put the paintbrush down.

Marlon figured that she hadn’t listened to him , it was pretty normal for an artist or just creative people to be in their own head regularly. He was guilty of that more often than not. So he simply let out a small laugh and shrugged a little. “I was just wondering if you sold pieces and stuff?”

Daniel listened, nodding as the other spoke. After a brief moment of silence Daniel shrugged his shoulders. “Sure, I’ll help you out.” He started. “But first, what’s the magic word”

[marlonsflowers]

“Uh, please?” Marlon asked, not entirely sure of what was goin on. All he needed was a lighter so he could get a smoke beofre his next shift started.

“Are the main characters kids? Because that seems to be a trend with those types of movies. Wait, like via a handheld or something? It’s been a while since I’ve seen Paranormal Activity.”

[marlonsflowers]

"Yeah, it's sort of like The Goonies. A gorup of kids being forced to move out of their neighborhood and going on an adventure. And yeah, handheld, shaky and shit. But it's got a better quality, of course."

“I know.” Gigi laughed sheepishly. “I love both of them, but there’s also sentimental reasons behind those feelings. I might put Stranger Things back on my watchlist though, since it seems to be so highly recommended.”

[marlonsflowers]

“You know, it’s sci-fi and Doctor Who too, so you might end up really enjoying it. If not there are always other shows, though Stranger Things is really all about American life in the 80s.”

“I know right? I would tell you how many times I’ve watched Friends but then you’d think I’m insane.” she replied, returning the smile. “Perfect! Now you’re talking. Netflix, beers, and Doritos – the ultimate stay at home starter pack.”

[marlonsflowers]

Marlon laughed a little. "Well, Friends is Friends, I can never judge anyone that watches it even if it's repeatedly." He said playfully, nodding his head. "And pizza, of course. Are you more of a traditional beer kind of girl or are you into craft beer? I was sent some beers to try earlier in the week, this sounds like a good time to try it."

[exkianhendrix-deactivated201805]

“See, that was my problem. Everybody had already seen it and weren’t up for watching it again, or didn’t want to. But luckily I have you around.” she smiled. “I’m not hard to impress, so I have a good feeling that I’ll already enjoy this show, but either way, I hope it ends with beers.” she replied with a chuckle.

[marlonsflowers]

“Really? These type of shows, are worth watching two or three times, I’ll probably notice way more things and parallels if I do. Besides, I do have a lot of free time since I moved here, so I’m your guy.” He grinned at the girl, letting out a small chuckle. “Okay, okay, we can add beers while we watch them. After all, what is Netflix without food, right?”

[vivian-mccoy-blog]

“Echo? I don’t…. think I’ve seen it. I’ll definitely put it on the list, though. If it’s anything like the others I’m sure I’ll like it. 80s suspense seems to be making a comeback.”

[marlonsflowers]

“Yeah, Echo. I mean, it’s not set in the eighties but it has that sort of feel that you get when you’re watching a classic? The only difference is that it’s shot like Paranormal Activity but even then, it’s really worth the watch.”

[riley-marshall-13]

“Exactly. I kept waiting for Molly Ringwald to show up at any minute doing a cameo or being someone’s mother. Those kids have too much potential to become the next brat pack, and it’s so cool that they are friends outside the show. I am excited for season 2, pretty sure they will look for something very interesting to explore on it, but it sucks that we have to wait that long for getting a new episodes. Really, Winona can win the Oscar with whichever new movie she does, but her best phase will always be the 80′s movies. “Heathers” is such high class movie, it’s the original “Mean Girls”

[marlonsflowers]

"Hey, never say never. I heard for the next season, they're doing a time jump, so new characters which means new cast members and possibilities. Now that we're talking about this though, I think there should be some Drew Barrymore up in there. If it's not an Oscar, she sitll has the Emmys next year too. Heathers, Girl Interrupted. If we didn't have Slater on Mr. Robot, I'd formally request him to be a part of this too. He did it all back then and Judd Nelson."

[adriennedomke-deactivated201702]

Adrienne shrugged her shoulders, not at all surprised by his surprise. “I don’t watch a lot of television,” she said as an excuse, a lot translating to any. “Where would I find it then? Is it a cable show?”

[marlonsflowers]

“No, it makes sense because the show it’s not really on TV.” Marlon admitted wiht a small shrug. “It’s on Netflix. So you can basically just inge watch it whenever you want.”

[missgigiwilliams-blog]

“Oh, at the risk of sounding very stereotypical, I was a fan of Downton Abbey - and Doctor Who, but I don’t tell anyone that. I honestly haven’t watched very much lately though.”

[marlonsflowers]

“Whoa, okay, very British.” Marlon chuckled, finding it amusing more than anything. “I will shamely admit, I’ve never watched either of those which is kind of sad.”

[cal-adams-blog]

“I mean, whenever I do watch a show that has a lot of hype, most of the time I’ve liked it. I liked House of Cards and Arrow and Daredevil. But I didn’t really like that Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt show, and I couldn’t get into How I Met Your Mother, either.”

[marlonsflowers]

"You do realize, that the two shows you didn't enjoy are comedies, right? Maybe it's the genre that you can't bring yourself to enjoy. Or at least it sounds like it."

[valerie-beaumont]

“Yeah, I saw all of those,” she recalled. “The Goonies is actually one of my favorite childhood movies. And… Have you ever thought that if it were to be made today, maybe it wouldn’t have ever happened?” she inquired. So many things had changed regarding what could and couldn’t be portrayed on the big screen from then to now that she was certain that many movies of her youth might never happen today. “Yes, that one!” she pointed out with a nod. “Funny thing is how Beetlejuice is the character from it I actually remember the least…”

[marlonsflowers]

Marlon smiled, definitely glad that was the case. "Well, did you like them?" He asked curiously and then nodded his head eagerly. "Oh for sure. If they made it now, it would probably be a flop, I think. I don't know, I don't feel like like children's movies now come close to what I had growing up. It's a blessing that they haven't tried to remake it like they've been doing lately in my opinion." He admitted, trying to think of any movie that he'd seen lately that could barely even resemble The Goonies, or anything like it but nothing could come to mind. He laughed a little at her next admission, nodding his head. "That is pretty funny. But Winona does show up more often than him. He was kind of the villain, in a way."

“Pretty damn indecisive, it would seem.” 

“Sounds like it if it took them weeks...”

[edmeefadxms]

“I’ve heard that too. Or read it in one of the turtle manuals they were handing out. You seem to know what you’re talking about. Do you work here?”.

[marlonsflowers]

“I like animals. Inoffensive ones, but no I’m here because I want to get a puppy. But I remember my mom used to tell me that turtles got stuck if they ever bit anything, it was like, a horror story or something.” 

[vivian-mccoy-blog]

“Same! I totally binged it the other night and then watched Super 8. They’re the same feel and I dig the hell outta it. You know there’s gonna be a season two, right? I’m so excited.”

[marlonsflowers]

"Do I know it? That's basically why I started talking about it! And wow, I love Super 8. Have you ever watched Echo? Because it's on the same route and I really loved it too."

“A rookie mistake,” Alma chewed. “But they learn.” It was so nostalgic being in at Burger Royal. She remembered working at a place similar to this before it closed a while back, it was her first job as a short order cook. She too had to work her way up. Marlon, however, was probably Alma’s most relatable confidant. He was a chef that loved what he didn’t. He didn’t complain, just took a lot of pride in it. Both of them shared the same lifestyle and somehow learn from each other along the way. “So when are you going to make the Alma burger? In ode to your dear friend.” She joked with a softened smile. 

[marlonsflowers]

Marlon nodded lightly, defintiely agreeing with her. He wasn't exactly big onn the dessert part fo the food, had never had a sweet tooth that made him want to learn a lot but he had learned in his cooking classes back in Puerto Rico. And while most people thought that Marlon wasn't doing good and had more potential, he loved his job. Street food was one of his favorite things in the world, honestly. He was beyond happy with where he was regarding his job, at least. "The Alma Burger? Well, once I come up wth one that reminds me of you, of course. Naming something after you and not being you, ain't good enough, for you."
