Most of Chris's generally enigmatic and consistently spontaneous bursts into speech at night happen right at the point I'm falling asleep, so capturing them is nearly impossible. Sometimes I recall them magically a day or two after due to some unknown anchor, and that's how some end up here. Probably not even the best, not if you count the less wordy samples below that make an all time top three, regardless of how hard it is to place them in space in time.
Upon me entering the room, Chris goes angrily: Fuck!
Chris turns around in his sleep and taps my shoulder: Pardon?!
Chris chewing something invisible and smacking his lips with satisfaction: I have a spoon!
Then, of course, he falls back to deep sleep as if nothing happened, and I'm left to wonder what all meant, and what went unsaid.
