the kind of streetside interaction i would like to have:

HOT FRENCH GIRL: "After riding that Vespa with you, while wearing only this tiny little belted shirt, I am re-thinking my current boyfriend."
HOT (PROBABLY ITALIAN) GUY: "Well, let's *ahem* size him up next to me... first of all, does he have James Dean hair that has not moved an inch even though we just zipped through the streets of Milan at high speed, dodging models, cute Italian grandmothers, and rich industrialists?"
HFG: "Well, non...."
HPIG: "Can he pull off a neckerchief and also (it looks like) a necklace?"
HFG: "Of course not!"
HPIG: "Are his shirts attractively unbuttoned all the time, and can he roll the bottoms of his pants and not look like a hipster?"
HFG: "Decidedly, non."
HPIG: "Does he have blue shoes?"
HFG: "Let us ride away together on your Vespa forever!"
