Going out for a bit. Be back soon.

Maria, make yourself at home. Let me know if you need anything.

By the way, James, I had no idea you had a girlfriend; why don't you mention these sort of things?

Going where? You'll get yourself hurt aga-

She's not my girlfriend! I just know her from somewhere and you know. I ju- I mean.. She's not.

[harrynotmary]

I can take care of myself just fine, James.

You know what they say about people in denial?

[captainpillows]

Obviously you can't.

No.

[harrynotmary]

It's a minor scrape. Stop being so damned possessive.

That it's probably true. Don't be embarrassed about it.

[captainpillows]

possessive? Sorry Harry, but I'm just trying to save you from your own clumsiness.

I'm not. And she's not. I just know her, that's all.

[harrynotmary]

One injury and suddenly I'm the biggest klutz in the world? Besides, the way you cling makes me believe your attitude otherwise, in spite of what I told you.

Uh-huh.

[captainpillows]

What about the soup incident? Or the time you fell down the stairs? Hey, hey, hey. You said you wouldn't talk about that anymore.

God damn it. I said she's just some woman I know, okay?

[harrynotmary]

The soup practically jumped out of my bowl! And everyone falls down the stairs. Besides, I'm not the one who nearly drowns in his own bathwater, or tries to leap over the couch and knocks it over with his own fat feet. And what can I say, it's an easy thing to bring up since it's so damned confounding.

That's not a nice thing to say about your girlfriend.

[captainpillows]

Yeah, sure. The soup was out to get your lap, Harry. I don't fall down the stairs. Walter doesn't and neither does Odd.

Hey, I was extremely drunk! I passed out. You were chasing me! There was a threat to my well-being! Yeah for you. You seem so damned focused on it.

Well good thing she's NOT MY GIRLFRIEND.

[harrynotmary]

But you will!

You were NOT drunk! Billy was busy that night. You were home all day! And I was chasing you because you won't throw away that stupid crab leg already! And it is, because you come into my room at night to snuggle.

So. She's single, right?

[captainpillows]

Is that a threat, Mason?

I had some of the vodka I keep in the cabinet, FYI. No, you were going to hurt me. No. I do not 'snuggle', what are you, gay? It's that sleep-walking problem come on, please not this again

Hell if I know.

[harrynotmary]

Maybe.

Would you at least HIDE that from Walter? It's like you're not even trying! And yes you do, you cling to me like I'm a damned teddy bear! Do you even HAVE a reason?

So if I wanted to, in theory, ask her out, that would be okay.

[captainpillows]

You're gonna push me down the stairs?

It is hidden! He doesn't know where it is! And no, I do not. I have a SLEEPWALKING. PROBLEM. I do and it's none of your business.

What?! No!

[harrynotmary]

Maybe.

You just said it was in the cabinet! Oh come on, like anyone believes that bull. You're the one coming into MY ROOM, it IS my business.

Why not?

[captainpillows]

Right.

So? He hasn't found it. I believe that bull. Well fine, but we've had this argument many times over already. Just lay off me.

Because you're... you're just being a dick.

[harrynotmary]

Of course you do. It's YOUR bull. Put it somewhere more responsible or I'll drink it -- and I can promise my constitution is better than yours. I'm asking for an explanation, James.

She seems nice. I could just be genuinely interested.
