There are a few lyrics used sparingly throughout the story, and I wanted to give them credit here:

Thief by Belly

"Seriously, Scud? Is this really necessary? I feel like you get your jollies setting me up for the WORST possible blind dates ever. Where do you find these women? /neurotic-lesbian-criminal? I mean that drummer..."

Scud barely remembered to hide a smirk which, he was sure, would have gotten him a smack to the back of the head. "No Luce, although that would be pretty convenient. As things are, it's not easy to find women to set you up with. You know, ones that wouldn't particularly mind too much if you were interrupted by government agencies opening fire on you."

Lucy stared at Scud for a few seconds, rolled her eyes at him and snickered. "It's not like I ever see you with any women, you know. Why's it so important for you to find me one?" "Lucy, I spend all my time trying to find you women. And let me tell you, those ladies have no interest in me." He looked hurt for a moment and muttered, "But I do ok."

Lucy snorted a laugh and waved at him dismissively. "Did you ever think that I might be able to find my own dates?" Scud's eyes opened wider and twinkled with mischief. "What?" she asked. With a grin that could have made an idiot jealous, Scud looked over at Lucy and said, "How about a little wager? I'll find you 3 dates, you find yourself 3 dates and then we'll see who does a better job."

She turned her body to face Scud and set herself in a 'how dare you challenge me?' stance, arms crossed, weight on one hip, merrily shooting him her own mischievous look. "Alright, deal. But I'm not in this alone. Prepare yourself for blind dates as well."

Before she stormed out of the room, Lucy cast a quick glance at Scud, and the look on his face quickly changed from surprise to doubt to apprehensiveness as he nervously chuckled at her. "Uh, no way Luce...Lucy!" He sighed heavily into the empty room. "How did I get myself into this?"
