Previously: Toby argues with Doug. Sam, Josh, and CJ barge in to let Toby
know what's going on. Toby learns his apartment is on fire. Toby gets to
the site just in time for the whole building to collapse, causing a massive
about of dirt to fall on him. He remembers he left an important speech in
his apartment. Sam offers him a place to stay.
PART 2
"Here's the guest room," Sam smiled. "I can look for a suit for you to wear tomorrow."
"Sam, I can't fit in anything you own," Toby mentioned.
"Sure you can," Sam smiled. "Until then, here's some shorts to wear to sleep," Sam said, handing over a pair Batman and Robin shorts.
"You've got to be kidding me?" Toby moaned, glaring at Sam.
"Nope," Sam smiled. "Listen, I talked to Leo and he said that we can make up the speech sometime next week. If we have time tomorrow, we'll start on it."
"I can't believe this is happening."
"So, what do you want to do?" Sam asked.
"I want to take a shower," Toby mentioned, looking down at his dirt-covered clothes. "And I want out of these clothes."
"Bathroom is down the hall. First door on the left," Sam pointed out. "And you have the shorts."
"Thank you," Toby moped down the hall.
"I'll get the scrabble board laid out," Sam said, walking towards the closet.
"Can't wait," Toby moaned to himself and went into the bathroom.
"I'm gonna kick his butt," Sam smiled to himself, as he got the game out. Then he heard knocking on his front door. "Hold on."
"Open the damn door," A familiar voice warned.
"Oh," Sam rushed over and opened it. "You look nice tonight."
"No I don't. But I thought if it was just going to be the two of us, I didn't really care what I looked like," Ainsley said quickly.
"Yeah, well, something kind of came up," Sam said nervously, while looking down the hall.
"Sam," Ainsley glared and looked down the hall. "Is there someone else here?" She asked, sternly.
"Something happened today and."
"I don't believe this. I told you we shouldn't get involved. I told you that you are the type of man that loves to move around. Well not this time buddy," Ainsely warned. "So, who's the whore?"
"Sam, where's the." Toby walked out, wearing the Batman and Robin shorts Sam let his barrow. He stopped talking as soon as he saw Ainsley. "This is not good."
"Toby Ziegler," Ainsley put her hands on her hips and grinned. "I must admit, you're a lot more buff then I thought."
"Excuse me while I go stab myself," Toby started to walk back down the hall.
"Toby wait," Sam stepped in. He found himself getting jealous of the way Ainsley was looking at him. "Look, take one of my shirts and come back out. I got scrabble all laid out. We can all play."
"How fun," Ainsley smiled.
"I just want to sleep Sam," Toby moaned. "My apartment building was burnt down, I'm wearing shorts that are way to small for me, and now Ainsley gets to see me half naked!"
"Which is a pure pleasure," Ainsley nodded.
"Stop!" Sam snapped. "Look, we'll watch a movie," Sam nodded and started going through his collection, which was a bit small. "How about, Lonesome Dove?"
"Oh God," Ainsley moaned.
"I'm going to go get a shirt," Toby started walking towards the bedroom.
"Why?" Ainsley smirked. Toby hesitated for a moment, but then walked into the bedroom.
"Leave him alone," Sam ordered. "He's had a bad day."
"Sorry," Ainsley snapped and sat on the couch. "So, it's just me and the Communication boys tonight, huh?" Ainsley smiled as Sam put the tape in.
"There," Toby walked out and sat in the chair next to the couch.
"All right, movie time," Sam sat next to Ainsley and put his arm around her. Toby shook his head when he saw the two of them.
By the time the movie was over, Ainsley and Sam had fallen asleep on the couch. Ainsley's head was resting on Sam's shoulder, and Sam's head was resting against the back of the couch. Toby turned off the television and was amazed he didn't fall into a coma. He hated Westerns. He walked into the kitchen and made up a glass of water. He noticed yesterday's paper on Sam's table and sat down to look at the classifieds. He was never going to find another place to live with the money he has, he thought to himself. He pays alimony to his first wife, which takes a huge part of his check. Then he has three credit card payments, which takes up the rest of his money. His car has been breaking down all week, so he has to pay for the repairs. And he's still paying a car payment on the damn thing. He slammed his head down on the table. Why was it he has never had good luck.
Toby stood up and went over to the phone that was hanging up near the fridge. He grabbed it and sat back down. It was two in the morning. The only thing he had going for himself was he didn't have work the next day. It was Saturday and Leo promised all of them that they could have the weekend off. Toby dialed the first number that popped in his head.
"Hello?" A woman voice answered.
"Is he there?" Toby asked.
"Toby?"
"Yeah."
"What time is it?"
"Two in the morning. What, did I wake you?"
"No, of course not," Amy said sarcastically and threw the phone at Josh's head.
"Ouch!"
"It's for you," She moaned and turned back around to go to sleep.
"Hello?" Josh answered, confused.
"I can only handle so much," Toby mentioned into the phone.
"Toby?" Josh sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Damn man, do you know what time it is?"
"Yeah," Toby said simply.
"What's up?" Josh took the phone out of the bedroom so Amy could sleep and sat down on the couch.
"He made me watch a Western," Toby moaned.
"Lonesome Dove?" Josh smirked. "I told him not to buy that one."
"Ainsley came over too."
"Busy night," Josh joked.
"I can't do this," Toby mentioned.
"You sound depressed."
"I am depressed."
"Sam respects you Toby, he wants to help."
"Josh, I like Sam. He's a good friend and a good deputy, but I don't belong here."
"I thought you were going to look for a place tomorrow?"
"I am. But what are the odds I'll find a place and be moved in by tomorrow night?" Toby asked, sarcastically.
"You want to stay over here?" Josh offered.
"Your place is a mess."
"So was yours."
"That was just cruel," Toby moaned.
"Listen, come on over. It's just going to be Amy and I tomorrow."
"You sure?"
"Sure, I'll pick you up tomorrow after you look for an apartment."
"Okay," Toby nodded.
"I'll see you later," Josh smiled and hung up.
