If you're hearing this message, I am probably not here. Or I am furiously pressing every button I can because I forgot how this thing works. One of the two! Either way, I will get back to you...eventually.

Heya, Manny! Long time, huh?

[ Be afraid, Manolo. Be very afraid. ]

[Manolo gives a lopsided grin. Normally he avoids the video function, but this is a private conversation, and he likes Bucky.]

Yeah! How have you been?

Eh, not bad! Got a new house, got a new job. [ Then he shrugs like it's no big thang. ] But I've got a question for you. Have a minute?

[Manolo settles down on his bed, getting comfortable since he's not sure how long this will be.]

I think I can spare a little time for you. [He's smiling when he speaks.] What is it?

Aww, whatta pal. So, listen, Christmas is coming up... And I wanted to do a little project, you know to give back to the community. There're these orphans, and their one dream is to take a helicopter ride around the city! Ain't that sweet?

Problem is I don't have a helicopter lying around. Hell, most don't, you know? So! We are gonna film a commercial asking for help and holiday spirit! And since you're a warm-hearted man with a penchant for guitar solos, I figured maybe you'd like to contribute to the background music?

[ He is giving you his best cow eyes right now, Manolo. ]

[Okay, Bucky, you had him at "orphans", but you also derailed Manolo's train of thought with a single world.]

...Wait, what's a helicopter?

[ Ah crap. Know thy audience, Bucky! ]

Right, uh, it's like a flying caravan. They can go above the city. It's real swell!

[ So long as you don't have to jump out of them. Bucky doesn't like that part so much. ]

Whaaaat, no way! [He laughs, clearly delighted by the idea.] Are you pulling my leg, Bucky?

[sidecars]

Of course not, my friend! Cross my heart, they have 'em. And you can fly in one with us if you want. Just gotta make a plea for funding first...

Wow, really? [Manolo didn't expect that invitation, but you've clearly made his day, Bucky.] And you said you...needed my music for that?

[He's still not completely sure how that's supposed to work, but he's always happy to volunteer his songs for a good cause!]

Yeah! Soliciting money from people goes best with sad music! Believe me, it works.

[ He's seen the Save the Animals commercials plenty of times. ]

[Manolo cocks an eyebrow.] You have done this before?

[sidecars]

Well, something like it, yeah! Back where I'm from I'm sort of a, uh, poster boy. I do a lot of selling, so to speak.

[ Sorry, Manny. Bucky's life story is just vague anecdotes and double speak. It makes him look like a shifty mother fucker. ]

[matadorable]

[Well, that all sounds pretty reasonable to Manolo.]

I see. In that case, I would love to lend you my music. Helping orphans is such a good cause!

I knew you'd understand! You're a good guy. I'll let you know when we're set up and ready, okay?

[matadorable]

Okay, great! I'll be looking forward to it.

[Oh Manny :/]
