what a nice little conversation, reminds me of something but dare i say what?
kinda like taht story about the kids going on an adventure, you know, the one that is really vague but awesome. sorry, bad memory sometimes.
but i think regardless that you have a knack for taking down conversations and making dialogue interesting and engaging, even considering the subject matter. there are a lot of elements at work in it which is good, and it is very showing and telling of the two characters, their attitudes, etc.
keep up the good work bridge!
