| Out There - Tuesday, October 16, 2007 | [[Chuck's living room: Miriam and Chuck standing together, James sitting on couch dribbling basketball.]]
/ Chuck: So, do you feel like going somewhere?
/ Miriam: I DID, so I WENT somewhere -- HERE.

| Out There - Wednesday, October 17, 2007 | [[Chuck's living room. James stands up with basketball under his arm.]]
/ James: Awright, red, I'm'a get outta y'all's hair.
/ Miriam: Awww, you can hang out if you WANT, James. / James: Naah, man, I can take a hint. 'sides, I'm itchin' to DO somethin'. You know if your sidekick John's around? / Miriam: I dunno, he might be.
/ James: Cool. Anything's better'n hangin' around HERE. Later.
/ [[Exit James.]] / [[Miriam puts her arms on Chuck, who's wide-eyed.]] / Miriam: What? Why are you looking like that?
/ Chuck: I'm just amazed he warmed up to you that fast. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071017.html |
| Out There - Thursday, October 18, 2007 | [[James, who is bouncing a basketball, walks up to John.]]
/ James: Dude - you workin'?
/ John: Well, sort of... I'm on my way to the store. / James: Dang! I need some exercise, man! Been sittin' around the house too much! / [[Both are in silhouette]]
/ James: And it's not like I can count on my *roommate* to get off his butt. 'Specially once *Red* shows up at our door. / John: Well, I'm sure you understand why Miriam would take priority for him now.
/ James: Yeah. 'Cause she wouldn't have it any other way. / John: That's not exactly what I meant, but now that you mention it...
/ James: Don't tell *me* I ain't a keen observer. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071018.html |
| Out There - Friday, October 19, 2007 | [[John and James walking together.]]
/ John: I think you should give Miriam a little more credit, James. She's new to this type of relationship, and she's trying hard to make it work. / James: Eehhh, she's okay, man. The problem ain't her. And it ain't really Chuck, either. / James: If I had a chick who looked like that, I'D ignore all my friends TOO.
/ John: So the problem is, you don't like sharing Chuck with Miriam. / James: Naah, man, that makes it sound WEIRD. It's more like I..., uh, like I...
/ John: ...don't like sharing Chuck with Miriam. / James: All right, but it don't MEAN nothin', and you ain't gonna SAY nothin'.
/ John: I'll cancel the press conference. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071019.html |
| Out There - Saturday, October 20, 2007 | [[John is dropping James off at the door]]
/ John: James, just tell Chuck you'd like to hang out sometime. I'm sure he'd like to, too. Anyway, I'll see you around.
/ James: Later, Man. / [[James holds his basketball, looking in on Chuck and Miriam.]] / [[James throws the basketball into the room.]] / [[The basketball hits Miriam's butt with a 'vump!']]
/ Chuck: What th-? / [[James is off-screen]]
/ James: 'ey man, I got NEEDS too!
/ Chuck: I'm gonna hurt someone. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071020.html |
| Out There - Monday, October 22, 2007 | [[ Sherry's bar. Sherry and John are talking. ]]
/ Sherry: John, I just don't know how this is going to work. I think serving food is a great idea, but I can't afford you full-time. / John: What if we limited the time we served food? I could work a couple hours a day in the kitchen, and fill in at the bar whenever you need me. / Sherry: That might work for me, but what about you? Aren't you going to need more income than that?
/ John: Ideally, yeah. / John: But my needs are meager... even if I don't have a place to stay, I can get by on very little money. / Sherry: This is great. I'm envious of a guy who's unemployed and homeless.
/ [[ John, irritated, looks at his feet. ]]
/ John: I could use a new pair of shoes, though. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071022.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, October 23, 2007 | Araceli: Hi, John.
/ John: Oh hey, Aricelli. / Araceli: I just couldn't keep myself away.
/ John: This is Sherry, she's the owner.
/ Sherry: Hi. / John: Araceli likes our, uh, atmosphere, but she isn't too impressed by our wine selection.
/ Sherry: I see. / Araceli: No offense.
/ Sherry: No, I agree. The wine is crap. But no one around here is willing to pay for decent wine. / Clayton: I'd like a '63 Bordeaux with my stale pretzels, please.
/ Sherry: And he'd probably use it for DUNKING. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071023.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, October 24, 2007 | [[At the bar]]
/ Sherry: You know, if you want to bring in a bottle of something you really like, I can keep it here for you. / Sherry: I'd charge you to store it, but it would cost you less than if we actually stocked it.
/ Araceli: That's a good idea, maybe I'll do that. / Sherry: In the meantime, can I interest you in one of our horrible boxed wines?
/ Araceli: A beer will be fine, thanks. / Clayton: Hey, Sherry, I just remembered that bottle *I* brought in. Do you still have it?
/ Sherry: I don't remember you bringing in anything. / Clayton: It's that one. Oh, and I think I brought in that one too. And that one.
/ Sherry: Cool, you owe me $775. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071024.html |
| Out There - Thursday, October 25, 2007 | [[Sherry and John behind the bar, Araceli in front. Miriam approaches behind the bar.]]
/ Miriam: Good afternoon, my talented and devoted co-workers! / [[Miriam jostles Sherry & John.]]
/ Miriam: See, THIS is what being behind a bar should BE like! A whole bunch of us getting in each other's way, bumping into each other, stuff like that. / [[Miriam hugs them.]]
/ Miriam: It's the hallmark of a successful bar.
/ Sherry: Maybe, but it looks bad when there are more people BEHIND the bar than on the other side of it. / [[Miriam jumps to the other side of the bar.]]
/ Miriam: Hey, no problem. I'm not on the clock yet, I can transform myself from bartender to patron in a heartbeat! / Miriam: What does a girl have to do to get a drink around here?
/ Sherry: She's not always like this.
/ John & Clayton together: Actually... http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071025.html |
| Out There - Friday, October 26, 2007 | [[In front of the bar, Miriam and Araceli shake hands.]]
/ Miriam: I'm Miriam.
/ Araceli: Hi, I'm Araceli. / Miriam: Oooh! That's a cool-sounding name. I like cool-sounding names.
/ Araceli: Thank you. / Miriam: I Should probably have a cooler-sounding name, to go along with how cool I am. Anyway, I'm late for work, I'll see ya later!
/ [[Miriam crawls across top of bar to other side.]] / Miriam: Hi, may I help you? / Clayton: I've found that once I reach a certain level of inebriation, this crap becomes almost tolerable.
/ Araceli: Don't be silly. She's a delight. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071026.html |
| Out There - Saturday, October 27, 2007 | [[Sherry and Miriam behind the bar, holding one another talking & smiling. Araceli and Clayton look on.]]
/ Araceli: Those two seem very close.
/ Clayton: Yeah, they're thick as thieves. / Araceli: Are they, um... TOGETHER?
/ Clayton: Only in my more interesting dreams. / Araceli: Oh, yeah, silly me. They're totally straight, I can see it now. / Araceli: I think. Actually, I can't tell. / Araceli: I can NEVER tell. You know how frustrating that is?
/ Clayton: I guess. I'm firmly ensconced in the "doesn't have a change" camp, so I don't really care. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071027.html |
| Out There - Monday, October 29, 2007 | Miriam: Really? You guys play poker? We've been DYING to find a game.
/ Guy1: Well, I mostly play online now, but we occasionally get a game together. / Guy2: But my place is too small, I can't really accommodate a crowd.
/ Guy1: And I don't really like doing it at my house, y'know, what with the kids and all. / Miriam: Maybe my roommate will let us do it at our place, she'd probably even be willing to join us. / Clayton: I have no idea what you're talking about, but I know I want in.
/ Guy1: Great I'll bring a net.
/ Miriam: I'll melt the butter. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071029.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, October 30, 2007 | [[At the bar.]]
/ Clayton: Whoa—maybe I DON'T want in. This is sounding weird even for ME.
/ Miriam: We were just kidding, Clayton. / Miriam: Poker players call novices "fish"; we were just speculating on your experience. / Clayton: Oh, poker? Count me out then; I don't gamble with my precious booze money. / Miriam: Very wise. Of course, if you WIN, that just gives you MORE money to buy booze with. / Clayton: Okay, I'm in. You make it sound like I have SOME chance.
/ Miriam: Alternatively, you could just write me a check NOW. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071030.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, October 31, 2007 | Miriam [[off panel, voice from the phone]]: Hey beautiful—how tired are you?
/ Sherry [[in bed, sleepy, seems she has just been woken up by the phone]]: What do you WANT, Miriam? / Miriam: I know how much you've been wanting to play poker, and guess what? I can get a game together tonight after we close! / Sherry [[sleepy, but sitting up]]: You want to START playing poker at 2 am on a night I have to WORK in the morning?
/ Miriam [[off panel, voice from the phone]]: Yeah, what's the problem? / [[Sherry slumps back, eyes closed, showing resignation and disbelief, arm over her forehead]] / Sherry [[off panel, voice from the phone]]: Maybe John wouldn't mind opening the bar tomorrow.
/ Miriam: That's the spirit! http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071031.html |
| Out There - Thursday, November 1, 2007 | [[Chuck on couch, talking on phone. James standing behind.]]
/ Chuck: No, Miriam. That's a little late for me. Yeah. Okay, g'night. / [[Chuck hangs up phone.]] / Chuck: Okay, I gotta admit. THAT was pretty crazy. She wanted me to come over to a poker game at 2 in the morning. What was she thinking? / [[James walks away.]] / [[James comes back, pulling on his jacket.]]
/ James: Lemme borrow some money, man. I'll pay you back tomorrow.
/ Chuck: Dude, try the blood bank. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071101.html |
| Out There - Friday, November 2, 2007 | [[Sherry and Miriam kneeling next to John, who's under a blanket on the couch.]]
/ Miriam: Hi, John.
/ John: Uh, hello... / Miriam: Sorry to wake you up, but we're gonna have a little poker game, and we don't want to keep you up...
/ Sherry: ... since I was hoping you'd open the bar tomorrow. / Miriam: You can sleep in my bed tonight, and when we're done I'll just crash on the couch.
/ John: Okay. / [[John, wrapped in his blanket, trudges through doorway.]] / Sherry: Isn't it a shame that after all this time you finally got him in your—
/ Miriam: Shut up. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071102.html |
| Out There - Saturday, November 3, 2007 | [[Sherry's table. Miriam stacking large pile of chips.]]
/ nameless guy: You're a hell of a poker player, Miriam.
/ Miriam: Thank you. / nameless guy: I think I'd better call it a night, or a morning, as it turns out. But keep me in mind for your next game, I got a score to settle with ya.
/ Miriam: Will do. G'night. / Miriam: Well we cleaned everybody out, guess it's time for bed. 'night Sherry.
/ Sherry: 'night, remember you're on the couch tonight. / [[Miriam slips off slacks, leaning on couch arm.]]
/ Miriam: Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me, that could have been awkward. / Miriam: CLAYTON! What are YOU doing here?
/ [[Clayton lying on couch.]]
/ Clayton: You sharks took my cab fare. What's for breakfast? http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071103.html |
| Out There - Monday, November 5, 2007 | [[Sherry and Miriam chatting behind the bar; Clayton looks on.]]
/ Miriam: Oooh, I LOVE that! You know what ELSE I really love? / [[They notice Clayton listening in.]] / Clayton: What were you talking about?
/ Sherry: Nothin'.
/ Miriam: Nothin'. / Clayton: No, you were talking about SOMETHING, I heard the last part. Something you really love. So what was it?
/ Sherry: I love it when men know when to mind their own business.
/ Miriam: It's IRRESISTIBLY sexy. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071105.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, November 6, 2007 | [[At the bar.]]
/ Clayton: So, why do you wear so much makeup? / Miriam: What are you talking about? I don't wear that much makeup.
/ Clayton: Seems like a lot to me. / Clayton: Makeup is for girls who aren't blessed with physical perfection. In your case, it's like putting graffiti on the Mona Lisa. / [[Miriam regards Clayton seriously.]] / Miriam: Clayton, I'm at WORK. I can't afford to keep buying you drinks.
/ Clayton: Why do you dye your hair? http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071106.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, November 7, 2007 | [[The kitchen at the bar: John tasting from pot; Miriam looks on.]]
/ Miriam: Got a question for you...
/ John: Okay. / Miriam: You really like food a lot, right?
/ John: Uh, sure. / Miriam: Well, you seem to deny yourself pleasure in most things, but you really cut loose with the food. What gives? / John: I need food to survive. Those other things I'm "denying" myself are things I don't need. / Miriam: (Then why do *I* need them so much?)
/ John: I'm really fond of air, too. Did I ever tell you how much I like air? http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071107.html |
| Out There - Thursday, November 8, 2007 | [[Araceli and Miriam at the bar, both drinking from wine glasses.]]
/ Miriam: Mmm, yeah, that IS good.
/ Araceli: Are you much of a wine drinker, Miriam? / Miriam: I used to be. I've worked in places that actually have a decent selection, so I've had a lot of good wines. / Miriam: But I can't afford to buy good wine these days, and we don't have any in HERE, so I guess I'm out of luck. / Araceli: Well, it's probably just as well. I'm sure Sherry would rather not have you drinking TOO much at work. / Miriam: Oh no, she's great. She doesn't mind at all.
/ Sherry: Actually, she does, but she also knows which battles aren't worth fighting. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071108.html |
| Out There - Friday, November 9, 2007 | [[At the bar; Miriam talking to unknown guy; Chuck looks on.]]
/ Miriam: Ah, no thanks. That's very flattering, but I'm kind of seeing someone right now. / [[Guy walks off.]]
/ Chuck: "Kind of?"
/ Miriam: Oh, don't worry about it. / Miriam: I'm just trying to help Sherry out. It's good for business if the patrons think they have SOME chance with the hot barmaid. / Chuck: But if they DON'T, don't you feel bad for deceiving them?
/ Miriam: Hmmm... I never thought of that... / Miriam: Before, there was always a pretty good chance they WOULD get what they—
/ Chuck: —how nice for them. I'll have a beer. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071109.html |
| Out There - Saturday, November 10, 2007 | [[At the bar; Miriam watching TV; John reading book.]]
/ TV announcer: ...third drunk driving arrest, having just completed rehab a week ago... / Miriam: Wouldn't it suck if the worst mistakes you made always ended up on the news? / John: I guess. / [[Miriam looks sideways at John, who's still reading.]] / Miriam: Okay, wouldn't it suck if you were ME, and the worst mistakes you—
/ John: —oh, definitely. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071110.html |
| Out There - Monday, November 12, 2007 | [[At the bar. Sherry with pencil in mouth staring at a paper, Miriam draped over her. James looks on.]]
/ James: Y'know, the way y'all carry on, people might get the wrong idea. Or maybe it's the RIGHT idea. / Sherry: What do you mean, James?
/ James: It looks like y'all LIKE each other.
/ Miriam: Oh, God FORBID! / Miriam: James, Sherry and I are best friends. This is NORMAL for us.
/ James: Just tellin' ya how it looks, man. / Miriam: I think you're just jealous. You wish you could be as uninhibited with YOUR best friend.
/ [[James runs off with his hands over his ears.]]
/ James: Oh, MAN! Why do I even TALK to you? / Sherry: Did you have to make him leave BEFORE he paid for his drink?
/ [[Miriam leans on Sherry flirtatiously.]]
/ Miriam: Ah, but this way we get to spend more time alone together. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071112.html |
| Out There - Tuesday, November 13, 2007 | [[Chuck's apartment; James enters.]]
/ James: Man, it ain' that I ain't open-minded, but...
/ Chuck: Huh? / James: Man, are you SURE ol' Red ain't as into chicks as she is into dudes? 'cause if you ask ME--
/ Chuck: --which I DIDN'T. / Chuck: Dude, all I care about is who she's into at the moment, and she assures me it's ME.
/ [[Miriam enters.]] / James: A moment can pass quickly, man--WHAT TH--?
/ [[Miriam hugs James.]]
/ Miriam: How true that is, James, and now it's YOU I want! / James: Man, why is it so hard for me to get away from you?
/ Miriam: I'm the moth to your flame, luv. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071113.html |
| Out There - Wednesday, November 14, 2007 | [[Chuck sits on a couch while Miriam and James stand nearby, talking]]
/ Miriam: You just don't get it, James. Yes, Sherry and I are very close... that doesn't mean we want to *marry* each other. / Miriam: *You two* are close too, but being men, you're afraid to show it. Women don't have that fear. / James: Man, *fear's* got nothin' to *do* with it.
/ Chuck: I have to agree. We could show it if we wanted to. / [[James and Chuck look at each other.]] / [[Both James and Chuck look back at Miriam.]]
/ James & Chuck (in unison): But why would we *want* to? http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071114.html |
| Out There - Thursday, November 15, 2007 | [[At the bar.]]
/ Sherry: Hey James, now that Mir's gone, I'll let you in on a secret. You were right. We WERE in love... / Sherry: But our love did not end happily. I wanted to please her so much, so I had this operation... I'm sure you know what KIND... / Sherry: Anyway, I wanted it to be a surprise, so I didn't tell her about it until it was over... so imagine my surprise when lo and behold... / Sherry: ...I found out SHE had had the same operation! Our frustration led to conflict, so we drifted apart. But as with all great loves, the embers remain... / James: Okay, at what point in this story did you just start making crap up?
/ Sherry: Belch! Grunt! Want a beer? http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071115.html |
| Out There - Friday, November 16, 2007 | [[At the bar.]]
/ James: 'ey, do y'all like basketball?
/ Araceli: I like WOMEN'S basketball. / James: WOMEN'S basketb--oh, right... 'cause you like LOOKIN' at 'em.
/ Araceli: No, it's because they play it right. / Araceli: It's a purer form of the game. Men are always showboating. Women play more like a team. It's more interesting to watch. / James: Aw, I ain't buyin' it, man. You just like watchin' the chicks play for--
/ Araceli: --the same reason you like watching the men? / James: What about football? Ya'll like football?
/ Araceli: No, but I like cheerleaders. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071116.html |
| Out There - Saturday, November 17, 2007 | [[ At Sherry's bar. Miriam is tending bar, Araceli is drinking. Miriam is touching Araceli's hair. ]]
/ Miriam: You have such beautiful hair, Araceli. I wish I had hair like this.
/ Araceli: Uh, Miriam... / Araceli: I don't know what you've heard about me, but I'm not interested in—I mean, you're very nice, and you're definitely quite attractive, but, um... I mean... / [[ Miriam looks shocked. ]]
/ Miriam: Oh! I wasn't—I mean I didn't even know you were—'cause I'm NOT, but... wait, are YOU?
/ Araceli: Yeah, I AM, it's just that I—I'm sorry, I— / [[ Miriam and Araceli look at each other. ]] / Miriam: Wait, then why the hell aren't you interested in ME?
/ Araceli: This is going to take more than one glass of wine. http://outtherecomic.com/d/20071117.html |
