Hey, Martha? Let's watch something funny tonight. I could use something verging on mindless.

[Private to the Admiral]

I'd like Sylar's ice powers returned to him, please. Is that possible?

[Private to Jason Bourne]

I need to talk to you, about our inmates.

[Private to Sylar, added later]

We need to talk.

Verging on mindless, huh?

...

No, forget it. It's just too easy.

[peektuttut]

No, no, go ahead. Let's hear it.

[gotgreenmagic]

Face it, it's kind of a case of 'insert your own punchline'. What's got you so stressed out, anyway?

[peektuttut]

Yeah, and I'm sure there are plenty of them. Nothing, really. Just some stuff I've been thinking about. What's been up with you?

[thegooddrjones]

I believe I could definitely do that. Really mindless or only mostly mindless?

[peektuttut]

Mostly mindless. I should probably think a little through it.

[thegooddrjones]

How's Caddyshack?

[peektuttut]

Sounds perfect.

What is it?

[After a pause] I didn't know about any deal he made. Thank you for telling me, sir.

[peektuttut]

Your eyes'll burn.

[peektuttut]

I've got a copy here, if you want to com pick it up. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Private

[brokenweapon]

Oh God. What'd they do.

Private

[peektuttut]

Nothing. It's a request of mine, actually. Sylar has this need to get new abilities - superpowers, basically - but he feels he has to kill in order to do it. It's possible for him to learn a better way. I don't have any special powers, and the Admiral won't give me any; I can't be the one to work with him.

But I know your inmate from back home. He has abilities that Sylar can take. It needs to be done without killing him, and I've talked to Wilson about this - but he'll want something in return, first and foremost the abilities that have been limited here.

Is this okay with you?

Private

[brokenweapon]

Oh.

[Give him a minute.]

If Sylar takes abilities, would Wilson no longer have the abilities that had been restored to him?

Re: Private

[peektuttut]

No - I guess 'take' isn't really the right word. Sylar learns how to use it on his own, like he copies it. They'd both have those abilities.
