HELLO. I HAVE FINALLY MADE A THING.
2017 is the twentieth anniversary of Men in Black’s release, and also this movie made me have a million feelings. Here, therefore, is my love letter to these movies. (Possibly the first of several to Tommy Lee Jones's face.)
Kay takes a sip of the coffee Jay hands him, closes his eyes for a moment in appreciation, and then is instantly all business. "Okay, what d'you got for me, Tiger?"
Jay blinks. "Hey, you just gonna pretend that never happened? You were snuggling, man! Snuggling!"
"I don't know what you're talkin' bout," Kay says. "I do not understand that word."
"Sure, man," says Jay, and again, does not mention the alien teddy bear sitting beside his partner on the couch. "I get it. You're a mean tough guy who doesn't cuddle."
"Don't get ahead of yourself, I only said I don't know what it means."
Jay lets himself smirk a little, but refills Kay's cup without his asking. "So, we got a skimmer at 38-45, a brawl over some Cancrian diamond candies way uptown, and a guy who puts alien modifications on muscle cars. Or, you know, we could go to the diner on the corner and get some pie first."
