What's happening in Seattle? [for Cities and Memory]

Mary-Jane:

Hey, Jim. What's happening in Seattle?

Jim:

You know very well, Mary Jane. We are here for the exchange.

Mary-Jane:

Yet another spy exchange?

Jim:

No. A railroad exchange.

Mary-Jane:

I should have anticipated so much. Believe me, Jim, this is music for my ears.

Jim:

Oh, yes, Mary Jane. A nice swing.

Mary-Jane:

Leave these the swingers aside, Jim. You know that my husband is very jealous.

Jim:

Don't worry, Mary Jane. Weeping willows never laugh.

Mary-Jane:

Stop using the code on me, Jim. You know that it makes me nervous.

Jim:

Mary Jane, but that's the truth. I'm not making anything up.

Mary-Jane:

Tell me rather, Jim, what's going on with the Wicked Fang? Is he still around?

Jim:

Sure. I remember the Wicked Fang. We met at seven.

Mary-Jane:

Seven o'clock?

Jim:

No. Seven-Eleven. But I cannot tell you what he was doing. We are teammates, yes, but I have certainly not forgotten about the Aurora Bridge.

Mary-Jane:

Jim, don't try to be smart with me. I know you are cheating. Aurora is Italian for 'dawn', but the appointment is set for sunset. Don't try to change the cards on the table.

Jim:

No one is changing the cards, Mary Jane, especially not when we are in the middle of a game of poker. And what's more, I am winning. And the Aurora Bridge is part of it.

Mary-Jane:

Water under the bridge, Jim. Water under the bridge.

Jim:

Sure. The bridge of my nose.

Mary-Jane:

Jean, what's happening in Seattle?
