Hey, guys. Back to normal again, it seems like.

[Filtered to Ramona]

Can you call me today? I have a favour to ask.

[Filtered to Young Neil]

Are you doing anything tonight, man? I kinda thought... we could eat dinner maybe?

[rollerblading]

Hey, what's up?

[totallyinaband]

Hey, Ramona. I have a favour. Would you go on a date with someone for me?

[rollerblading]

Um.. what? What about-- [Okay, so it HAS been a while..]

How would that be a favor to you?

[totallyinaband]

Well, it's my friend Hanna. He's pretty lonely. And when I was his brother last weekend - curse, don't ask - I kinda told him I'd set him up with someone.

Just one date, though. No obligation or anything.

[Said in the most cautious what-is-this-about voice:]

Uh... yeah man, that'd be cool. I mean, no, I'm not doing anything.

[totallyinaband]

Awesome. I'll see you tonight, man.

[illgrowoutofit]

...Right. [Still all with the something-is-up-here-what-the-hell-is-it.]

[mghtbconcussed]

And I bet you didn't even get a chance to have a pedicure.

[totallyinaband]

Thanks god. I had to put up enough of those with my sisters growing up.

[mghtbconcussed]

Awww! Stephen, did they paint your toenails?

[totallyinaband]

Yes. Frequently. It was the best way to stop them from trashing the house every time our parents left.

I'm still in therapy.

[specifics]

[ Wryly, ]

Congratulations.

[ Pause. ]

Getting used to it yet?

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, just fine. It was being the other way that took getting used to.

[withloadedguns]

Seems like.

[If it ain't one curse, it's another.]

[totallyinaband]

You doing any better, too?

[withloadedguns]

Yeah.

And I don't think I'd like to put up with that again.

[totallyinaband]

I hear ya, dude. I'd be more than happy not to get hit with that one again.
