"Ok, I see what you mean," Hardison said to Eliot. "She is pretty… wound up. But hey, it's not exactly her fault."
"You're right," Eliot said. "It's yours".
Hardison sighed loudly. "For the last time, no it wasn't. It wasn't my fault! Shit happens, and I'm sure you've never lost a fight. The amazing Eliot is too good for that. Just so you know, that's sarcasm! News flash: you lost to a girl. A girl! And you're gonna sit here and blame me for this? You could have beaten your way out of there instead of calling on me to the rescue. I did the best I could!"
"Hardison, shut up! I'm not listening to this for the next four days. And I did have tobeat my way out of there. I don't see your stupid computers providing backup. Or weaponry."
"Boys, boys! Settle down," yells Sophie from upstairs. No one wanted to know what she and Nate were doing up there.
"He started it," they both said simultaneously.
"Don't make me come down there," she warned. There was a loud crash and noise resembling something like an accordion.
"What are you two doing up there," muttered Eliot.
"Probably having sex," Parker replied casually as she came into the room.
"Parker! You don't just say that."
She made a face. "I'm bored. There's nothing to do. Can I draw on your other arm?"
"Ok before you make Eliot even more mad, I'm gonna answer that for him: no", Hardison said sternly.
She frowned and walked out of the room. There was silence for a few minutes, disregarding another crash coming from upstairs.
Hardison had an idea. "Eliot," he said. "I've got an idea for Parker! She's hyper and in a confined space."
He paused. "…And?" Eliot asked.
"She's hyper and in a confined space!"
"I swear Hardison, I'm not in the mood for this."
"No, no, no. You're not getting me. Parker is hyper with no job to do. We are stuck in this apartment. She works best in confined spaces."
It finally hit Eliot. "I get it… Kind of. But Parker works best in confined spaces with laser beams all around her and a prize at the end, not an apartment."
"If we can't go to the laser beams, we'll bring them to her."
