Various Conversations Between Bill and Kate

Bill had just had some Japanese mixed nuts and he was putting the bag back to the kitchen..

Bill: “.... I think cashews are the hookers.”

Kate: (staring at the video production footage of 300) “Cashews are the hookers……. because they only like cash?”

Bill: (putting on his jacket) “Because of the way they look.”

Kate: “So cashews look like hookers, …..”

Bill: “Peanuts are your run-of-the-mill kids.”

Kate: “Of course….. Walnuts are the brainy kids then?”

Bill: (putting on his shoes) “Yeah, walnuts are the brainy….(chuckles) cause they look like brains.”

Kate: “You know, if cashews can look like…”

Bill: “I know……. Oh! Pistachios are the rich kids, and chestnuts are the hicks.”

Kate: “Why are chestnuts the hicks?”

Bill: (heading out the door and turning back) “cause!”

Kate left the office half an hour later than usual. She was walking down the stairs when her phone rang.

Kate: “Hello?”

Bill: “Hey, where are you?”

Kate: “I’m just now leaving the office. I got tied up a bit.”

Bill: “REALLY? (mocking) Who tied you up?”

Kate: (not taking the bait) “Jeremy and Brian.”

Bill: “Mm….that sounds…. gross.”

Kate: “You started it.”

Bill: “I know.”

We just finished dinner and were watching an episode of the West Wing.

Bill: “We should name all the rooms in the house.”

Kate: “I thought we did already. This is the TV room…..”

Bill: “Where our desks are is the Situation Room.”

Kate: “I see. This one should be the Recreation Room then?”

Bill: “This one is the recrea…..”

Kate: “’Cause ‘situation’ has four syllables. So does ‘recreation’.”

Bill: (pleased) “Okay. Then the kitchen is the Preparation Room and the bathroom…”

Kate: “….. is the Relaxation Room.”

Bill: “No, the BEDroom is the Relaxation Room. The bathroom is the ….”

Kate: “re….. (laugh) Rehabilitation Room.”

Bill: (serious) “That’s too many syllables…. The bathroom is the…… (a lightbulb moment) EVACUATION ROOM!”

But, doesn't "e.va.cu.a.tion" technically have five syllables?
Also, wouldn't the definition of an evacuation room be a room from which you evacuate...... not a room that "things" evacuate out of.
