"Right... So. Medicine," Bobby mumbled nasally as he and Sam started blankly at the many many cabinets in the Med Lab. "Well," He said, kneeling down to reach the bottom cupboards. "Gotta start somewhere." He motioned for Sam to come and help him. Sam stood back and watched. "Dude, aren't you gonna help me?"

Sam sighed. "Ah guess so... But you owe me now, Bobby."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. Just help me find this medicine stuff." Sam sighed again and knelt down beside his friend. "Dude!" Bobby exclaimed. "Look at these!"

"What? What?" Sam inquired.

"They're little wooden sticks in a jar! I'm sure Mr. McCoy won't mind if we 'borrowed' some of these," Bobby said, making air quotes around borrowed. He winked at Sam and put a few of the wonderful sticks in his pocket.

"Ah dunno, Bobby. Isn't that stealing?"

"Well... Yeah... But what is Mr. McCoy gonna do with all of these random little sticks, anyways? When he gets back, we'll just tell him that we took a couple for a school project or something."

"But that's lying."

"Well... Yeah... But... Uh..." Bobby struggled to come up with an excuse that would permit him to take a couple of the sticks with him.

"Face it, Bobby. We can't have any tongue depressors."

"Tongue what's? No, dude, I was talking about these little wooden sticks in a jar."

"Yeah, Bobby. They're tongue depressors."

"What? No! They're just wooden sticks in a jar. Jeez, Sam. I thought you were smarter than that. Besides, who would want to depress a tongue? That doesn't even make sense."

Sam rolled his eyes, deciding not to respond to those last few statements. He opened another cupboard and started searching for the anti biotic Mr. McCoy had been giving them. He pulled a few jars out of said cupboard and put them on the floor by Bobby.

"Duuuuude..." Bobby said, picking up one of the jars Sam had just pulled out from the cupboards. "Check these out!"

"What? What is it?" Sam asked, ducking his head out from the cupboards to face his friend.

"They're cotton balls! More importantly, they're cotton balls in a jar!" Bobby said as he proudly held the glass jar up for Sam to see.

"Yeah?" Sam asked, unimpressed. "And?"

Bobby started to giggle madly, which, of course, led to coughing. Once Bobby's coughing had passed, he held the jar up again and asked Sam, "Do you dare me to eat one?"

"Uh... No..." Sam said, giving Bobby a strange look.

"Ugh. Fine. I'll just dare myself!" Bobby said as he took one of the little fluff balls and popped it in his mouth. He chewed for a few seconds, grinning madly as he did so, and then swallowed dramatically. "Whoa... Sam, you gotta try it! It's just like cotton candy, only without the flavor!" Bobby reached for another cotton ball, but Sam pulled the jar away from him before he could grab one.

"Somethin's tellin' me that this isn't really a good idea, either." Sam said with a concerned look on his face. He put the cotton ball jar back in the cupboard and continued his search while Bobby pouted about his lack of cotton balls.

A few minutes of cabinet searching later, Bobby found something even better than cotton balls. "SUCKERS!" He exclaimed.

"What?" Sam half-asked, half-coughed, turning to face his friend.

"Dude! I found a jar of suckers!"

"Oh. Well, okay. And whaddya wanna do with those?"

"Uh, eat them! Duh! What, do you like not have candy in Kentucky?"

"I didn't say that! It's just that we're supposed to be looking for medicine, and you wanna eat stolen suckers!"

"They're not stolen! They're borrowed! And can't we eat suckers and look for medicine? Or better yet, I'll eat the suckers and you find the medicine!"

"Oh, whatever, Bobby." Sam gave up on trying to impose common sense on Bobby and ducked his head back into the cabinet. After a few long minutes of sucker eating and more cabinet searching, Sam emerged victorious. "Yes!"He pulled out the bottle of antibiotics that Hank had given them before he left.

"What? What?" Bobby asked, looking over from his pile of sucker wrappers and now empty sucker jar. "Did you find more suckers?"
