Out There - Monday, July 2, 2007 [[Miriam and her mother are seated at a table. Miriam is staring into a handheld mirror as she brushes her hair.]] / Mom: Miriam, I wish you wouldn't brush your hair at the table. / Miriam: Oh, come on, Mom. It's just one of the many things you're going to miss about me. / Miriam: So, how was your date,...
Out There - Tuesday, July 3, 2007 Miriam's mom: Well, goodbye, hon. Have a good trip. And remember, you're always welcome here. / Miriam: Bye Mom! Come visit us as soon as you can! / Miriam's mom: Nice seeing you again, Sherry. Thanks for keeping my little girl off the streets. / Sherry: Good to see you, too, "Mom". Take care. / Sherry:...
Out There - Wednesday, July 4, 2007 Miriam: How long do you think you can drive without a break? / Sherry: Depends on the type of break. / Sherry: There are restroom breaks, food breaks, stretch-your-legs breaks and switch-drivers breaks. / Miriam: But there's potentially a lot of overlap in those categories; in fact with proper planning,...
Out There - Thursday, July 5, 2007 Miriam: I'm surprised you're not calling the bar every five minutes. / Sherry: I'm trying not to be that way. / Sherry: If John's not calling ME, I've got to assume everything's under control. / Miriam: That's a healthy attitude to have, I think. Plus, it shows that at long last you're trusting MY judgment,...
Out There - Friday, July 6, 2007 Miriam: I just thought of something. / Miriam: Last night we were out with two guys, and it never even OCCURRED to me to do anything but tell them goodnight after the bar closed. / Sherry: Does this mean I should take you to a doctor? / Miriam: Very funny. You KNOW what it means. / Miriam: It means...
 
Out There - Saturday, July 7, 2007 Miriam: Actually, Mir, you WERE a very good girl last night, except for one thing… you were drinking a LOT. / Miriam: Yeah, so? That's nothing new. / Sherry: Well, it's one thing to drink a lot when you're unhappy about your life. But you're supposed to be happy now. Why are you still drinking so much? / Miriam:...
Out There - Monday, July 9, 2007 John: Hey, Chuck. / Chuck: Hiya, John. / Chuck: I was asked to drop by periodically to see how you were doing. / John: Ah, I see. / John: So, can I get you something? / Chuck: Sure, man, I'll have a Swirly Pink Cupcake. / Chuck: I was just kidding, man. I'll have a beer. / John: Good, I think we're all...
Out There - Tuesday, July 10, 2007 Chuck: So I hear you're a teetotaler, doesn't that make bartending a peculiar career choice for you? / John: Well, I didn't exactly plan it. / John: And it was not without some apprehension that I accepted the job. I'm not opposed to drinking in moderation, I just don't want to contribute to anyone's...
Out There - Wednesday, July 11, 2007 [[ At Sherry's bar. John is bartending, James and Chuck are sitting at the bar. ]] / James: Yo, jump shot, I'll take a beer. / John: Comin' up. / James: So now that your girlfriend's gone, you're going to spend all your time at all her old stompin' grounds, man? Kinda pathetic. / Chuck: Whatever you...
Out There - Thursday, July 12, 2007 [[Chuck and James are sitting at the bar, talking. James looks very bored.]] / Chuck: Maybe if we found you a girlfriend you'd stop being such a complete ass. / James: Ehhh. / Chuck: Problem is, it would be very hard to find someone who would go out with you. / James: Hmmph. / Chuck: [[to John, behind...
 
Out There - Friday, July 13, 2007 [[At the bar: Chuck, James, and John.]] / John: You two remind me of Miriam and Sherry. They're always sniping at each other too. / John: But when they're not being insulting, they're very close like sisters. / [[Chuck and James look at each other.]] / Chuck: Well, when WE'RE not being insulting, we...
Out There - Saturday, July 14, 2007 Chuck: Sherry strikes me as being very good people. Miriam seems to think the world of her. / John: I concur. / Chuck: I was trying to get Mr. Solo Act here to ask her out, but I think he's already managed to alienate her. / James: if so, her loss, man. / John: Sherry's a little more grounded than Miriam,...
Out There - Monday, July 16, 2007 Sherry: I wanna stop somewhere and change before we roll into town. / Miriam: Why? You look fine. / Sherry: Well, if we're going to be bar-hopping Los Vicios party girls, shouldn't we LOOK the part? / Miriam: Oh... / Miriam: Wow, I totally forgot that's what we used to do when we'd go to Los Vicios....
Out There - Tuesday, July 17, 2007 Miriam: I'm sorry, Sherry. I guess we COULD do something fun together in Los Vicios. / Sherry: Naah, forget it, we should be getting home anyway. / Miriam: No, it's just that ever since the poker bug bit me, I can't pass up a chance to play if a game is available. My mind doesn't even consider alternatives. / Sherry:...
Out There - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 Miriam: How 'bout we compromise, Sher? / Sherry: But I don't PLAY poker, Miriam. / Miriam: I'll teach you! It'll be fun! Who knows, maybe you're a natural! / Sherry: How much of my money do I have to lose before we realize I'm not a natural? / Miriam: Don't worry about it. Tell you what. I'll let you...
 
Out There - Thursday, July 19, 2007 Miriam: You know, maybe we SHOULD change before we play poker. / Sherry: How come? / Miriam: Well, pretty things like us have a distinct advantage against male players. Anything you can do to cloud your opponent's judgement is a good tactic. / Miriam: I look so good by DEFAULT that I never even THOUGHT...
Out There - Friday, July 20, 2007 Miriam: This is INGENIOUS, Sherry! You're about to find out that a little sex appeal goes a long way at a poker game. / Sherry: Uh huh. / Sherry: I wish we could assert our ingenuity somewhere OTHER than a gas station restroom. What are you doing? / Miriam: I'm making you a cheat sheet. / Miriam: It's...
Out There - Saturday, July 21, 2007 [[Miriam and Sherry are in a bathroom, at the sink. Miriam is, as usual, admiring herself in the mirror.]] / Miriam: Am I gorgeous yet? / Sherry: Well, everything is relative, dear. / Miriam: Very funny. Now remember, we'll cash in on our looks, but we'll need to play well, too. And in poker, part of...
Out There - Monday, July 23, 2007 Sherry: So are you able to look at my hand and help me? / Miriam: Um, that's sort of frowned upon, Sher. / Miriam: Just try to look like you know what you're doing. When you think you have a good hand, bet it. It's always better to be betting than calling. When in doubt, fold. / Sherry: I'll be folding...
Out There - Tuesday, July 24, 2007 [[At a poker table. Miriam stacking up chips.]] / Sherry: What did you have? / [[Miriam whispers to Sherry.]] / Sherry: REALLY!? / Miriam: SHERRY! / Sherry: Oops, sorry. / Sherry: Do you bluff like that a lot? / Miriam: I bluff like that when my analysis of the situation suggests I'll get away with it. / Sherry:...
 
Out There - Wednesday, July 25, 2007 [[At a poker table. Miriam thinking.]] / Miriam: (Uh oh, Sherry's in a hand with an experienced player who just hit the hell out of that flop!) / Miriam: (Aw, c'mon hon, FOLD! That guy's got a monster for sure! I KNOW he's got you beat! Didn't I tell you to fold when in doubt?) / Miriam: (Oooh, this...
Out There - Thursday, July 26, 2007 [[At a poker table.]] / Sherry: Miriam, this is CRAZY! Look how many chips we have in front of us! / Miriam: I know, it's great. But don't get a false impression of this game. Sometimes really nasty things can happen to you. / Sherry: Like what? / Miriam: Well, you haven't seen any REALLY bad beats yet....
Out There - Friday, July 27, 2007 [[Sherry and Miriam are at a poker table. Miriam is trying to guide Sherry away.]] / Sherry: [[to someone across the table]] You had a straight all along!? / Miriam: Let's go, Sherry. / Sherry: But he got so lucky! He's playing like crap! If we stick around we can take him down! / Miriam: Or you could...
Out There - Saturday, July 28, 2007 [[Miriam and Sherry are sitting at a table having a drink]] / Miriam: Hey, cute guy at that table. You should saunter over there, Sher. / Sherry: I can't believe that guy who kept raising me when i flopped the flush. / Miriam: If i wasn't taken I'd be totally all over that. I almost envy your single status...
Out There - Monday, July 30, 2007 [[Miriam is lying awake in bed. Sherry is sitting on the next bed, arms folded and fully dressed, staring at Miriam.]] / Miriam: Oh! You *did* make it back. How'd it go last night? / [[Miriam now looks shocked]] / Miriam: Sherry, what's wrong? Are you oka-- / Sherry: I'm *fine*. I'm just really mad at...
 
Out There - Tuesday, July 31, 2007 Miriam: So, how much did you lose? / Sherry: Oh, a bunch. Everything i had one and another two-hundred on top of that. / Miriam: Ouch. / Sherry: I thought I had figured the game out.

Out There - Wednesday, August 1, 2007 [[Miriam and Sherry are sitting in the car, as Miriam drives.]] / Miriam: I'm kinda worried about you, Sher. / Sherry: About *me*? Whatever for? / Miriam: Well, you had no interest in poker before, and now you're showing strong signs of being totally addicted. / Sherry: Is the fact that I want to go...
Out There - Thursday, August 2, 2007 [[Miriam and Sherry are both in the car. Miriam is talking on her cellphone while driving.]] / Miriam: [[on the phone]] Yeah, we survived Vicios. Actually, I did pretty good. Sherry ended up losing, but only a little. I think I've created a monster though. / Miriam: [[on the phone]] She's obsessed with...
Out There - Friday, August 3, 2007 Miriam: What the $#%@ was THAT all about? / Sherry: I would just rather you not tell Chuck how "hot" I look. / Miriam: But why not? / Sherry: Because it's WEIRD! He's YOUR boyfriend, dork! / Sherry: I don't want your boyfriend thinking about me in that way! YOU shouldn't want him to either! Can't you...
Out There - Saturday, August 4, 2007 [[Sherry and Miriam are sitting (in a car, with hair blowing?), talking]] / Sherry: You know, if your conversation with Chuck is going to get, you know, *graphic*, I'd just as soon not have to hear it. / Miriam: Oh, I was just kidding, silly. / Miriam: Although we did have some pretty interesting conversations...
