looking in the peephole

* What was it?

* Excuse me?

* You just figured something out; what was it?

* Excuse me?

* You’ve been sitting there going through some kind of thinking process; it’s all over your face, it’s like you’ve been having an argument inside your own head since you sat down, it’s not like you even pretended to mask it; and just now, just a moment ago, you resolved it - all that anxious tension just melted right out of you - something clicked, inside, and it finally made sense, and you almost laughed out loud, it was like someone just turned on a lightbulb over your head; but even with that, I can’t tell what you’re thinking - how this realization fits into the bigger picture, whatever that is; so I guess I’m just asking, what was it?  What’s your sudden insight?  Your answer?  Your fix?  Or are you gonna keep it all to yourself?

* Excuse me, but, do I, like, even know you?
