Disclaimer: We don't own Darien and Hobbes, we just like to think we do.







Darien: Hey, Hobbesy.

Hobbes: What's going on, Fawkesy?

Darien: Ahh, nothing much. In fact, I think it's kinda quiet around here right now. Kind of unusual for the Agency, you know?

Hobbes: Yeah, I'm surprised the fat man doesn't have some case for us.

Darien: You'd think he'd at least be sending us out on one of those milkruns he's always talking about.

Hobbes: Come to think of it, I haven't even seen him around today. Maybe he's got a date.

Darien: *snorts* Come on, the Official? He's too uptight for even a casual conversation.

Hobbes: Hey, stranger things have happened, my friend.

Darien: Yeah. I'm pretty sure I saw Eberts hitting on a girl the other day.

Hobbes: Now that is strange, Fawkes.

Darien: Yeah, and she seemed interested in him, too.

Hobbes: That's getting into X-files territory.

Darien: *laughs* You're telling me.

Hobbes: You're kidding, right? A girl interested in Eberts?

Darien: Nah, I'm completely serious. She was hot, too. A busty brunette.

Hobbes: How do you like that? A loser like Eberts getting the chick.

Darien: Yeah well, it's no stranger than me getting this gland stuck in my head.

Hobbes: I beg to differ, my friend. Eberts getting a date is way stranger.

Darien: Whatever you say, Hobbesy.

Hobbes: So did they go out or what?

Darien: I dunno, maybe. I just saw 'em flirting in the Agency halls.

Hobbes: Hmm, maybe you should ask him about it.

Darien: Maybe you should ask him, since you're so interested. What, you afraid he's gonna cut in on Claire?

Hobbes: Claire and Eberts? Nah, never gonna happen, my friend. Eberts would never have a chance with a girl like Claire.

Darien: Of course not, with someone like you around.

Hobbes: That's right, Fawkes. Bobby Hobbes knows how to treat a woman.

Darien: Ah HA! I knew it! And don't tell me you don't fish off the company pier, we both know you want to.

Hobbes: What did I tell you, Fawkes? I would never fish off the company pier. Claire is a very attractive, intelligent woman. That's all I'm saying.

Darien: Bobby and Claire, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Hobbes: Fawkes, do you have any idea how childish that is?

Darien: First comes love, then comes marriage...

Hobbes: Fawkes, would you grow up.

Darien: *laughs*

Hobbes: Yeah, go ahead and laugh. At least I could get Claire if I wanted to. You, on the other hand, wouldn't stand a chance. You lack the Bobby Hobbes charm, my friend.

Darien: Whoa now, hold on a minute there! I could get her if I wanted.

Hobbes: So you want her? I knew it!

Darien: I never said that!

Hobbes: Who's in the tree kissing now, huh?

Darien: Oh, don't you start. I just said I could get her if I wanted!

Hobbes: Yeah, but I know what you meant.

Darien: Hobbes, don't get all territorial on me. I'm not gonna move in on your action.

Hobbes: Oh, I'm not worried. Like I said, I don't want Claire. But if I did, I wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Darien: Of course you wouldn't.

Hobbes: I know I wouldn't.

Darien: 'Cause you've got that Bobby Hobbes charm thing going.

Hobbes: That's right. It's all in the moves, my friend.

Darien: Of course, I have a full head of hair.

Hobbes: Hey, you'd be surprised to find out how many women find baldness to be incredibly sexy. You know Fawkes, I bet you would make a great troll salesmen.

Darien: Ha ha, very funny.

Hobbes: You could dye your hair blue or purple. You'd drive the little girls crazy. I can see it now, Darien Fawkes: The Troll Salesmen.

Darien: Bobby Hobbes: Leading advertiser for Hair Club for Men. And living proof it doesn't work.

Hobbes: Darien Fawkes: When Hair Goes a Little Too Far.

Darien: Bobby Hobbes: When Hair Doesn't Go Far Enough.

Hobbes: Darien Fawkes: The Man Who Was Consumed by His Own Hair.

Darien: You know, this is stupid. Let's go grab a burger.

Hobbes: That sounds great to me. You're buyin' though.

Darien: Whatever. Does that mean I get to drive?

Hobbes: No way Fawkes. I want to live long enough to eat that burger.

Darien: *scoffs* Oh, and your driving isn't dangerous.

Hobbes: Hey, my driving has gotten us out of a lot of tight situations, my friend.

Darien: Let's just go, okay? There's nothing going on around here anyway.

Hobbes: You're right. Let's get out of here.

Darien: So, you wanna go to Burger King or McDonalds?

Hobbes: Burger King. McDonalds isn't what it used be.

Darien: Fine. I'll let you drive, on one condition- we take my car.

Hobbes: Oh come on Fawkes.

Darien: What? Your van sucks. I'm surprised it's still running.

Hobbes: Hey, I've got memories in that van. It has has never let me down.

Darien: Except when you needed it to go faster than forty-five miles per hour.

Hobbes: Has it ever let us down, though?

Darien: Well, no... But my car hasn't, either.

Hobbes: That's right, my friend. My van has always come through. My van is better. Just admit it, Fawkes.

Darien: No way, Hosea.

Hobbes: Well then why don't we just walk if you're going to be like that?

Darien: Hey, that's actually not a bad idea. I was kind of feeling like stretching my legs anyway.

Hobbes: All right then.

Darien: Come on, I'm hungry. Let's get over there before the Official decides he needs us for something.

Hobbes: Don't say that, Darien! You're gonna jinx us!

Darien: Fine, fine, I'll knock on wood. There, you happy?

Hobbes: Yeah, and throw some salt over your shoulder when we get there.

Darien: 'K.

*Hobbes and Darien walk off into the sunset*
