“I don’t like them. They’re spindly and creepy and tendrily.”

“Tendrily, John? Really? You’re making up words now?”

“Shut up. How d’you think words come about? Someone has to make them up. Look at Shakespeare.”

“You’re not—”

“I know. Look. I never said it was rational. That’s the whole deal with phobias. They are by nature irrational. Just pick something else. Please.”

“It’s only going to be in the flat for one night.”

“I. Don’t. Care.”

“You’re the one who suggested it as a housewarming gift for Molly and Oscar.”

“I suggested a plant. I never said a spider plant!”
