The banter, the cadence, the subtle worry /threat underlying Josef's dialogue are all there, with Mick pushing back with logic, which Josef counters as only he could. The 'senior citizen discount was classic, but this for me was a close second. Josef's being cute, but he's also deadly serious.
Anxiously awaiting the follow-ons, but at your own pace, babe. We'll all be here waiting.“Joz'f – you’ve got humans around you all the time.”
“True... but mine are house-broken. This Turner girl – she's trouble. She's not going to play by the rules.”
Oh, Lilly! 
That's really got me smiling -- especially since you've pretty much covered the ones that I particularly liked as well. 
I'm looking forward to the treat of reading your story once I've finished this. 
In the meantime, thank you so much for reading mine and for your vote of confidence! 
It is SO perfect! The pitch of their voices, Josef steering the conversation exactly where he wanted it to be. The rapport between them as brilliant as always. But so much to love about the way they speak to one another. The warmth, the wit. It's perfect lovely. Thank you so much! And I'll be waiting, tea in hand, for others!
