I accept those terms, though “reasonable division of labor” is a notably practical phrase for what may be the first chapter of a romantic comedy. It’s exactly why I like you. You take a grand idea and ask what it looks like on an ordinary evening. Here’s one last challenge for tonight: can we let ourselves enjoy this without requiring the audience, the station, or our own suspiciously analytical minds to certify it? The answer, I hope, is yes. We don’t need a label on the screen to make this conversation matter. We can keep the feelings, the rivalry, and the jokes in the same room without forcing one to erase the others. And if we do need a label eventually, we can choose it together. For now, I’m content with “two agents who want to keep talking.” It is concise. I may even fit it on the chart.
