"Yeah baby, yeah?" he replied in an Austin Powers voice.
Rita giggled.
Taylor was sitting by the door of the room where Rita was supposedly giving Isaac a saxophone lesson. But c'mon, he was so bad at it. Isaac was a perfectly good musician, and Taylor was certain the sax noises were just a front. A pretence.
It had gotten to the point where Taylor was getting rather convinced of his suspicions. He realised that if he made himself go to sleep while Rita gave Isaac a lesson, he could probably see exactly what went on.
But he was afraid of what he might see.
Unwilling to hang around any longer, he got up. Upon passing Babsie and Isaacs' bedroom, he noticed Babsie sitting at her laptop. Taylor then decided it wasn't fair on Babsie, and he should tell her.
"Hey Babsie." He said, wandering in.
"Yo Tay. What's up dude?"
He sighed.
"It's Rita and Ike."
"What about them?"
"I, I think they're having an affair."
Babsie looked at him and studied his face for a moment.
"Why's that? Been half listening to their conversations while she's giving him a sax lesson?"
"Well, if that's really what they're doing, he should be much better by now!"
Babsie laughed.
"Look, dude. Ok, you Americans like to say 'da bomb' right?"
"Yeah..."
"Right, so you go up to an Aussie and say something's 'da bomb' and they're gonna look and you and be like 'ook... whatever'." Babsie replied. "On the other hand, some Aussies I know like to say stuff is 'sick'. They mean the same thing as 'da bomb', but if one of them goes up to an American and says something is 'sick', the American is gonna say 'ook... whatever'."
"What's the point?" Taylor asked, giving her a weird look.
"Certain words mean one thing to you, but something else to someone else. In other words, you could be misinterpreting what they're saying."
There was quiet for a moment.
"Yeah, maybe. But I don't think so."
"Has she been different in bed?"
"Excuse me?"
"You know, when you're horizontal mmmbopping. Has she been different? Has it happened any less? Don't answer me aloud, I don't really need to know any details."
Taylor snickered.
"Horizontal mmmbopping." He repeated, rather amused.
"You've heard it before. Look, dude, you're over-reacting. This is my cousin and your brother we're talking about. You know, those people we're married to? And not to mention what brought you and Rita together. Tay, nothing is ever gonna come between you two."
Taylor didn't answer.
"Rita loves you, as much as you love her. Just like Ike loves me as much as I love him. They won't ever betray us."
