Spy Games

There was Spy Games the movie, and there was spy games the games played concurrently during the movie.

I believe that I may have inadvertently put a subtle move on Courtney tonight while watching Spy Games, a move so subtle that I didn't really even notice it, so subtle that it's possible that it might never happend at all.

While watching the movie, Courtney's foot touched mine a couple of times, inadvertently by both of us. She was for somereason extremely uneasy and impatient and kept shifting around and playing with her bottle and hankerchief. Then we touched very so slightly, the tip of her pinky toe and the side of my calf. I didn't move away at first because I hadn't even noticed it, then I noticed it, but didn't move away. So that was it. This went on for maybe 20 seconds before she withdrew, and a car loaded with explosives ran into a building and blew up the whole thing. Now keep in mind, the movie was very confusing.

"So, was that good or bad?" I asked, and Tyler explained the drama behind the exploding car. Then Courtney put in her 2yens.

"You see, Brad Pitt was late, in bringing the doctor, so Redford decided to go ahead and use the Lebenanese terrorists to kill the Sikh. They had bad communication and the whole mission went to shit." Was she saying something else? I was so turned on by the prospect of having this kind of double talk with Courtney. Was she daring me or something?

"But the Sikh is dead, right?"

"Yeah, but the doctor was dead." At this point, I started to think that either a) the whole thing never happend at all or b)the whole thing happened, Courtney was aware, and shot it down. Either way I scored nothing, although I would've preferred b) so that I can at least get some brownie points for subtlety.

Then the movie went on, and on a couple of instances she turned and looked at me. I didn't return the look, but from my peripheral vision those looks seemed loaded with meaning and inquiry. One such instance she turned and looked at me during this line: "Maybe you (Redford) didn't anticipate his (Pitt) feelings for her." Jesus. I just played dumb because it's probably what she expected out of a guy and because at this point it's probably better to play it safe and not acknowledge the moment.
