You know how you sometimes get specifically hungry for something?

...

Anyway, I spent some time deliberating over whether to spell Max's line as "come here and come here" or "come here and cum here", but I eventually settled on the "proper" spelling because it just looked better in print, in this case.

In the "come" vs. "cum" question, I'm of the opinion that both spellings are valid for this usage, and may be used interchangeably. Of course, the choice between them isn't just a matter of spelling - the past tense of "come" is "came", while the past tense of "cum" would obviously be "cummed". I'd say usage depends on the context - the level of formality of the exchange, the possibility for puns or double entendres, readability, etc.
