how i imagine the conversation goes when dennis tells trinty hes dating langdon
late afternoon in the whitsantos household; they are sitting on the sofa watching some show and eating dinner.
Dennis: hey... trin?
trinity: yeah?
dennis: you know how ive been staying out more and saying im going to amy's, welll... that's not always true
Trinity: ok--i understand if want time alone, you don't have to lie to me about it
Dennis: no! I wanted to tell you im seeing someone like...dating
Trinty is expecting him to say hes moving out to live with his partner: and for how long you have been seeing this someone?
Dennis: oh um, not that long. just a few mo--well we've been talking for months but uh actually going out has only been a like 6 weeks
Trinty: ok and why are you bringing this up now?
Dennis tentatively says with something. embarrassment? fear? caution? i thought i should tell you before things got serious
Trinty: ...serious? so, should I expect someone coming to ask me for your hand in marriage?
Dennis: no no, I don't think so
Trinity: so, what is it?
Dennis: well, its someone we both know and... i don't know how you'll feel about it
Trinity: ooo...workplace relations, how scandalous! i cant believe i let such a loose moraled wrench into my home!
Dennis: please be serious...and dont freak out
Trinty: why would i freak out
Dennis: i- um, well to start off ,im gay. and second the person im with--
Trinity: i know your gay doofus, my reaction will depend on who it is huckleberry
Dennis: um, he's older than us and... works with us and... has kids and um...
Trinty: if you want me to guess you'll need to give better clues, i don't keep track of who has kids, and the only person I can rule out so far is Ogilvie everyone else is old
Dennis: ok um he has dark hair
Trinity: even better! are you counting people that had dark hair even if half of it is gray now?
Dennis: oh no
Trinty: abbot and Robby are out. this is fun, maybe we should make one of those guesses who boards
Dennis: he's tall
Trinity: not a good clue huckleberry, does he just work in the hospital or like our department?
Dennis: our department
trinity: clears a lot, is it Shen?
Dennis: no, not shen
trinity: doctor or nurse?
dennis: doctor
trinity: Henderson?
Dennis: no, its someone that's normally on day shift
trintiy: ...let me think...its not robby is it, because the gray hair thing should have elimnated him
dennis: no, its uh well, its frank
trinty: who?
dennis: frank...langdon?
trinity:--what!why!
dennis: well, he gave me his number on the first day and i already ask Robby and abbot and mel and you and literally everyone else so many questions and i felt like i was being annoying. and i hadn't asked him anything yet so i texted and things escalated from there...
Trinty: dude! you have better options, good options! you know you dont need to be with the first guy thats intreasted right?!
dennis: i know, i like him, i want to be with him
trinty: stop
