| Out There - Monday, March 23, 2009 | Rod: I went to dinner with Miriam last night.
/ Araceli: Really? Like as in a date? / Araceli: But I thought she was into that musician guy now... heh... this is Miriam... / Araceli: Wait, this must have been before you came to *my* house.. why didn't you happen to mention it then? Is it because... / Araceli:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090323.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, March 24, 2009 | Araceli: You know, I get the feeling there’s starting to be some talk around the office... about us.
/ Rod: So what? Let ’em talk. / Araceli: That’s easy for *you* to say. You can just *fire* people if you don’t like them. *I’m* forced to *deal* with them. / Rod: And if anybody gives you any @#$%, you... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090324.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, March 25, 2009 | [[Araceli is sitting on a couch in Rod’s office; Rod is massaging her neck]] Araceli: We’ve always been really close… even through our little break-up and becoming “just friends” again.
/ Rod: Yes. Close. Close is good. / Araceli: But lately, well… we’ve been *closer,* and…
/ Rod: Yes. Closer. Closer... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090325.html |
| Out There - Thursday, March 26, 2009 | Rod: You’re upset that I went out with Miriam?
/ Araceli: I’m not upset, I just— / Rod: Ari, I’ve been *telling* you—if *you* want to be with *me,* *I* want to be with *you.* I’d make a commitment on the spot. / Araceli: But you’ve never said that *sober.* And anyway it’s not the point.
/ Rod: Seems... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090326.html |
| Out There - Friday, March 27, 2009 | Araceli: Rod, if you really *are* being sincere, then I’m sorry… but I don’t want to be your girlfriend.
/ Rod: Bummer. / Araceli: Not that I believe you for a minute anyway… if you *are* sincere, then what’s the deal with Miriam?
/ Rod: See, I *knew* you didn’t like that. / Rod: Ari, my feelings for... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090327.html |
| Out There - Saturday, March 28, 2009 | Rod: Say the word, and I’m all yours, babe. But if you *don’t* say the word, everybody’s fair game, just like usual. / Araceli: Well, I’d hate to #%@& up your modus operandi.
/ Rod: Such language! And in Latin, even! / Araceli: So… to change the subject, *sort of…* when’s your next date with Miriam?
/ Rod:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090328.html |
| Out There - Monday, March 30, 2009 | Araceli: What would you do if someone close to you was doing something that made you feel uncomfortable?
/ John: Tell them how I feel and ask them to stop. / Araceli: What if you kind of *like* what they’re doing?
/ John: I guess the *first* thing I’d do is try to figure out why I liked something that... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090330.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, March 31, 2009 | Sherry: I have no idea what you’re talking about, Araceli, but John’s advice is usually solid. I wouldn’t dismiss it out of hand. / Araceli: I’m sure you’re right. But I shouldn’t have even brought this up. It’s stuff I need to think about… a lot. That’s the only way I’ll be able to make the right decision. / [[Sheery... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090331.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, April 1, 2009 | Araceli: I should be getting back to work. But I don’t wanna. I’d rather stay *here.* / Araceli: At least *here* people understand that I’m not easily swayed by cheap emotion-manipulation techniques like sweet-talking and reverse psychology. / Sherry: Well, we’d love to have you. But I don’t want to... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090401.html |
| Out There - Thursday, April 2, 2009 | Sherry: Sorry to hear you’re having difficulties at work. I know where you’re coming from, that’s why I always wanted my own business. / Sherry: I’d rather be barely treading water as my own boss than be well paid by a boss I don’t like or respect.
/
/ Araceli: The funny thing is I *do* like and respect... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090402.html |
| Out There - Friday, April 3, 2009 | Araceli: I think you’d understand my situation if I explained it you, Sherry. Best friends, employers, other… stuff. I’m sure you could relate to it. / Araceli: But I don’t want to burden you with it. In fact, right now I don’t want to talk or even *think* about anything that frustrates me.
/ Sherry:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090403.html |
| Out There - Saturday, April 4, 2009 | [[Araceli appears inebriated]]
/ Araceli: Well, this has been fun. Thanks for putting up with me.
/ Sherry: Not at all. My pleasure. / Araceli: You even had a drink with me. I don’t usually see you doing that.
/ Sherry: I usually *don’t*. But it’s my bar, I can do what I want. / Araceli: I wish *I* could... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090404.html |
| Out There - Monday, April 6, 2009 | [[Miriam is working at the bar, Rod is having a drink]]
/ Miriam: What’s Ari doing tonight?
/ Rod: I dunno. I called her. No answer. / Miriam: Good for her. Maybe she’s got a date.
/ Rod: I doubt it. Ya never know, though. / Rod: What about *you?* Has your prospective called?
/ Miriam: Psshh… it’s only... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090406.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, April 7, 2009 | Miriam: Is there something you wanna talk about, Rod? That’s what your friendly bartendress is here for. / Rod: No, that’s okay. I’m not really here to *talk* so much as I’m here to *drink.*
/ Miriam: Well, maybe I can help you out with *that,* too. / Rod: Maybe you can help me out with one or two *other*... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090407.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, April 8, 2009 | Rod: Have you quit drinking or something, Miriam?
/ Miriam: No, not really. I’ve just toned it down a bit. / Miriam: Believe me, nobody likes having a good time more than me. But I’ve been trying to keep a clear head lately. / Rod: Was it with this clear head that you decided to throw in your lot with... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090408.html |

| Out There - Friday, April 10, 2009 | Clayton: Passed out. Damn. This one seemed so promising.
/ Miriam: Don’t be greedy, luv. You got him to buy you enough drinks as it is. / Clayton: I know, but when you’re on roll like *that,* you just don’t want it to stop.
/ Miriam: I guess that’s the kind of disappointment that builds character / Clayton:... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090410.html |
| Out There - Saturday, April 11, 2009 | Miriam: I hate to break it to you, Rod, but we’re closed. Can I call you a cab?
/ Rod: S ’okay, gorgeous. I c’n sleep in my car. / Miriam: Noooo, I’m afraid not. I can’t take the chance of you deciding you’re okay to drive.

/ Rod: So, I’d *love* to buy you breakfast. You know, in gratitude for your hospitality. / Miriam: That’s a nice thought, but I’d like to go back to sleep. In my own bed, preferably. / Rod: Cool. I could buy you *lunch* instead.... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090416.html |
| Out There - Friday, April 17, 2009 | [[Rod is sitting up in Miriam’s bed, Miriam is standing to the side of it]]

| Out There - Saturday, April 18, 2009 | [[Miriam and Rod are on her bed]]
/ Rod: You know, you really are an incredibly beautiful woman. But I’m sure you’ve heard that before. / Miriam: Somehow, it never gets old. Unfortunately, I *will,* and I’ll miss hearing it.

| Out There - Tuesday, April 21, 2009 | Miriam’s mom [[talking on phone]]: I haven’t heard from you in awhile, sweetie. What have you been up to? / Miriam: Um, nothin’ much… y’know, the usual stuff. / Miriam: I mean, *not* the *usual* stuff.

| Out There - Friday, April 24, 2009 | Miriam: I’m doing okay, mom, don’t worry about me. Actually, Sherry keeps me in line. Kind of my “mom away from mom,” so to speak. / Miriam: Of course, someone *my* age shouldn’t *need* someone to keep them in line, huh?
/ Miriam’s mom: I have to agree, hon. / Miriam’s mom: Sorry if I act too much... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090424.html |
