City Commissioner Bryan Partee and his wife Karen are sitting in their living room on Houston Street talking about their first date; a 1996 New Year's Eve dance in Ruidosa, N.M.
"And at midnight, Karen jumped me and gave me a kiss," Partee said.
"Jump is a strong word. I gave him a hug and he went in for the kill," Karen retorted.
"She's making that up. She totally kissed me," Partee said, obviously pleased with his version of the event.
"Well, Bryan," Karen said, "this makes us look totally cheap."
"She's a floozy and I like her that way," Bryan announced, satisfied with having the last word.
That's the Partees, Marshall's version of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn.
