[Sorry, Prior. Dirk spent most of his formative years in a CIA prison. His pop culture knowledge is practically nil. He is, however, perfectly capable of responding to the tone of the utterance with a smile which, while not necessarily indicating that he's in on the joke, does indicate that he's aware that there's a joke of some sort being made in the first place.]

Yes, I've been told I'm not very good at doing things the right way.

[The Right Way. Careful enunciation and pointed emphasis: this is something he hears in all facets of his life and is generally speaking not something he's convinced is a valid concept -- though Prior does have a point here. And is taking the piss, obviously, which Dirk accepts good-naturedly. Warmly, even. The thing he's wanted most all his life is someone to poke fun at him in a friendly sort of way, and now that he's acquired a few he finds that yearning lessened but the underlying want still very much intact.]

It's a work in progress.

[He says this with an arch little smile, letting Prior in on the joke: no it absolutely isn't.]

Do you suppose that means I owe you an extra dinner, or have I just irrevocably broken the continuity?

[A beat, and then, somewhat wistfully:]

Again.
