2011 I think. It was a while ago.

[pinokosthewife]

A- a while ago?

[She blinks in surprise, before making a face.] Aw, geez, Pinoko's not even from the shame millenium! Guesh it'll be a while before that hits Japan, huh...

[studmuffin]

You're from Japan? Cool.

[pinokosthewife]

Uh-huh!

Have you been there, Mishter?

[studmuffin]

Nah, never even left California.

[pinokosthewife]

You're American?

Pinoko's been to plenty of plaches with her darling! He goes to even more plaches, but he has to shneak off, 'cause if I catch him, he usually has to take Pinoko with him! Shometimes, it'sh too dangeroush, though...

[studmuffin]

Who's --?

[ A pause. ] Yeah, I'm American.

[pinokosthewife]

Dr. Black Jack! The greatesht shurgeon in the world, even though he practishes without a lichenshe! And Pinoko's the wife.

Pinoko hasn't been there in a while! Where're you from, in America? Is it anywhere near New York?

[studmuffin]

You have a husband? [ He'd kind of assumed he was talking to a child, but there you go. ]

No, not really. I like in a small town.
