    I find Mary's explicit indifference to be strangely attractive, as if she's channeling all the women I've known intimately over my long life, including my current wife. If Mary and I were a couple I can see a typical conversation with her: Me: Sweetie, I was just thinking about.... Mary: (interrupting with a dismissive "go away" hand wave) Yeah, whatever.

And if Rupert could sit there sometime and he and Dave could sit and talk and roll cigarettes. I love how Mary hates being there and is so funny if she ever chooses to speak, but is also great just sitting there judging.
