*Rude walks in.*

Reno: Hey Rude, buddy! Where've ya been?

Rude: The bar.

Reeve: Why'd you leave?

*Bar*

Barflies: Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

*Tseng is chugging whatever glass of liquor that's placed in front of him. He finishes the glass he's working on & the barflies cheer raucously.*

Tseng: Aw, it wuz nuthin'…*Hic!* Keep'em cumin'…

*Back*

Rude: I'd rather not say. Who's the kid?

Reno: She stole my Lucky Charms!

*Marlene blows a raspberry at him & he blows one back.*

Reeve: She's my hostage.

Marlene: This is way too boring. I wanna do something besides sit here.

Rude: Wanna grab a taco?

Reno: Yeah. Let's go.

Reeve: Can you get me a chalupa?

Marlene: I want some nachos.

Reeve: & a nacho plate?

Reno: Why don't you come with us?

Marlene: Yay! Let's go!

Reeve: I guess it can't hurt…

*Saucer*

Cait Sith (reading aloud): "Dear Barret, I know you'll be upset when you read this, but I really regret what I've done. I'm very sorry, & I assure you, Marlene was kept safe at all times. Sincerely, Cait Sith." Geez, I sound like I'm from AA or something. Why don't I throw in, "What I did, I did because of impaired judgement & anger caused by my alcoholic tendancies" or something like that? Oh well. "Write note to Barret apologizing about Marlene." Check.
