A conversation between CJ and Danny in the show West Wing:
"You know when I came over Wednesday night and it was late and we didn't really talk? We just--"
"I have a vague recollection."
"Did that make you feel bad?
"Bad in a-- in a what?"
"You know-- used."
"For my body?"
"Something like that."
"I'll work through it."
"You sure?"
"It happens. Women want me."
"It's just, I know we have a lot to talk about and I don't want to leapfrog any of it but it was kind of wonderful to just--"
"Not talk."
"Not even a little."
They laugh.
"You want to do it again tonight, don't you."
"I really do."
"I'll leave the door open."

Some of my and Lt's best moments have occurred without a single word spoken. Words would have ruined it.
ReplyDeleteSilence shared is as good as any conversation we have had. Sometimes, it has been better.
Mei, agreed. :-) This quote was meant to be humorous, but it holds true in many circumstances. Sometimes, the most comfortable you can be is when you don't have to talk.
