John blinked some more, his mouth still open, his brain caught in a paralyzing loop of 'Oh, crap. Who told? What is this going to cost me? How do I keep this quiet?'
"Oh, please! I have so much dirt on the big names in this town you're not even in the top one hundred of potential blackmail targets. If I kept a list like that. Which I don't."
It was Rodney's turn to blink.
John got as far as, "Look, buddy, I don't know who you think you…" before he was once again interrupted.
"Yes, yes, right, sorry. Rodney McKay, Psychic to the Stars. Doctor Rodney McKay, actually, not that anyone really cares once they figure out the 'astro' in 'Astrophysics' has absolutely nothing to do with astrology. Idiots. And I know you have a brain hidden under all that hair, so don't bother playing pretty-but-dumb with me."
He spun on one heel to peer eagerly towards the north end of the street, presenting his back - and his nicely shaped backside - to John.
"Ooh, Chinese! Perfect, I'm starving. Did you remember the eggrolls?"

I agree with Tashabear. There needs to be more.
Go on. I'll wait.
