[sits down; takes a long swig of his beer, nearly finishing the bottle] Well, I do have something to tell you. Um...well, I, I... [shifts uncomfortably] I asked Dree to marry me, you know, to do right by her and CJ. [purses his lips before continuing] She said yes. [prepares to have a bottle thrown at him]
[eyes Garrett's change in body language] Because you haven't been doing right by them? Or El and the twins? Or Max and Trey? [shakes his head and smiles; smiles again when he hears the answer] Good for her.
[watches Garrett again then sighs] She's not mine, y'know. Never was. [raises a hand and shakes his head] At first, yes it was a little hard to keep them separate. But, Garrett... I have as much claim on her as I do Rebecca. [makes a face] And you're just lucky I can't run, 'cause I'd kidnap her away in a second. [winks]
[sighs; happy that Wyatt didn't become angry] I know, but it's not even that I had to because she got pregnant with my child, but I wanted to, for her, for CJ, and for Max. Honestly, I didn't expect to fall in love with her. [makes a face] Much like I didn't expect to fall in with El.
[nods] Yeah, I still haven't separated them and I don't think my Wyatt has either. It's all still strange to me. [laughs] El will hunt you down and then you can deal with her.
Well, I speak from experience. [glances toward the door, then smiles] Adora is very easy to love. No matter what her name is. [makes a face and waves his hand] Can't help you with the Admiral. She's nuts. [laughs]
[nods, understanding] Well, you see her every day. And, maybe she's got a little more of your Adora in her, than mine. [laughs] I'll just sic Hilary on her. [takes another drink; smiles] Your wives are safe. Beck wouldn't even run off with me if I could run. [grins] She likes your bony butt too much.
[smirks] Can't imagine why anyone would ever confuse those two for Hildy and Diz.
[leans like he's getting a look] Well, it ain't meaty. [makes a face] Yet. [shakes his head] Probably looks better than mine, though. All this sitting is doing nothing for my complexion.
[rolls his eyes, but laughs] Yes, I can. Florida sun is better for color, we've found. But, apparently, my butt is white enough that I might reflect the sun and bring down a plane or something [waves a hand] I stopped listening after a while, to be honest.
[laughs] Then keep your pants on. [downs the whiskey and then reaches for his beer. He has to admit, he does like the Other Side sun, but the Florida summer heat is nearly unbearable.]
Oh, I plan to. [nods] Wouldn't mind lyin' out by the pool. But since I can't really roll myself over, anymore, it's not as appealing. [smirks] Not that I'd mind sitting there and watching my wife in one of those tiny little bikinis. [winks]
There's got to be a way to train your upper body so you can roll over. When there's a will, there's a way - so DG likes to say. [he likes that saying because it reminds him not to give up, even when he's too tired to fight] Oh, yeah Other Side swimwear for the ladies is a wonderful thing. [grins]

[raises a brow] You're gonna sit there drinkin' a beer? Do you want a whiskey with a beer chaser? [pops open a bottle of beer]
Well, I'm sure we can get you one of those chairs for here, if you really want one.

Well, think 'bout it. It won't be any trouble at all. [he could just snap his fingers and make a chair appear]

[nods and motions to a chair] So. Sit. Talk. About whatever. Kids. Wives. Weather. Anything. [takes another swig]

She just may. Maybe that's why my Wyatt has such a connection to her. [makes a face] My butt is not bony. [pours himself another shot of whiskey]

It may not be meaty, but it's squishy and perfect for the girls to grab. [motions to the window] You can at least sit outside in the suns, right?
