A noise escapes his throat that can't honestly be described as a laugh.
"I'm going to say 'No,'" he says. "And you're going to make some sympathetic noises and try to convince me that it's for my own good. And I'll continue to say no, and you'll continue to push, and we will be here for fucking hours before going home fucking miserable."
He downs the rest of his drink. "So allow me to propose an alternative. You get us another round of drinks, forget this whole thing ever happened, and I will go on stage and sing Katy Perry or whatever fucking awful pop shit would make you laugh. Everybody goes home happy!"
