Eric: Did you hear about Vanessa Carlton?

Luke: What, did she run over someone with her piano?

Eric: Heh.

Luke: Heh heh.

Eric: No, she's going goth!

Luke: What the fuck?

Eric: "I'm singing about suicide, insomnia and paranoia. There's nothing piano recital-y about it. It's goth."

Luke: YOU ARE MAKING THAT UP.

Eric: It gets worse: she's into Wicca!

Luke: NO FUCKING WAY!

Eric: "Do you know what Wicca is? I believe in like spells and stuff like that. The Wicca in me has come out."

Luke: There is nobody on the planet less goth than Vanessa fucking Carlton.

Eric: Marlo Thomas is more goth than Vanessa Carlton.

Luke: Oh, I know.

Eric: They're making a documentary about the recording of the album. It's going to be called, Pleased to Meet You: Vanessa Carlton, the New American Goth.

Luke: Okay, you HAVE to be making that part up.

Eric: I'm being completely serious.

Luke: Vanessa Carlton looks like a moose.

Eric: That's true.
