Out There - Tuesday, July 7, 2009 [[Miriam is addressing Steven and the members of his band in their hotel room]] / Miriam: I?m sorry I screwed up and didn?t sell any T-shirts!

I don?t know how, but I?ll think of something. / Miriam: I?m *trying* to make amends here? the *least* you guys can do is *acknowledge* me? Are you *that* pissed off? Or are you all too *stoned* to respond? / Miriam: I?m not helping matters here, am I? You guys *already* didn?t like me. / Drummer: I think only *I* didn?t like you *before.* But now *none* of us like you.

Out There - Wednesday, July 8, 2009 Araceli: Rod, if you make anything that could *possibly* be construed as a ?move? on me, I swear I?ll bust this bottle right over your head. / Rod: I know. I won?t. / Rod: I just didn?t want to go home without making sure you?re all right. And without apologizing. / Araceli: I?m fine, Rod. / Araceli: Sometimes you just have to let people get over things on their own. Just because I don?t want to talk to you *now,* it doesn?t mean I never want to talk to you *ever.* / Rod: Well, okay? I guess I?ll go then. / Araceli: Could you swing by the corner and grab me another bottle of wine first?

Out There - Thursday, July 9, 2009 Araceli [[talking into phone]]: I?m sorry for what I said, Mir? I didn?t mean it quite like it sounded? I was just upset. / Miriam [[talking into phone]]: That?s okay? I understand your being upset? I just hope you know that this *never* would have happened if I had been made aware of the situation. / Araceli: I know? and I should have realized that? but I thought you *were* aware? although since *I* was barely aware, how could I have expected *you* to be? Oh, I?m so confused right now. / Miriam: You?re so *girly,* Ari? someday you?re going to make some poor man?or woman?an infuriating complicated wife. / Araceli: I can?t?to use a phrase?help being the way I am, Mir.

Out There - Friday, July 10, 2009 Miriam [[talking to Araceli on phone]]: So, are we cool, now, babycakes? / Araceli: Nope. I?m still mad at you about one more thing . / Miriam: Really? *Now* what did I do? / Araceli: You took off without saying goodbye. Or even telling me you were going away. / Miriam: Oh, c?mon, Ari. I?m *sorry.* I can only handle so much guilt. / Araceli: I don?t care. I?m drunk and feeling sorry for myself and I don?t have to make sense. / Miriam: Babe, I gotta warn you about relying on that excuse too many times? trust me, I?ve seen the folly. / Araceli: Of that, I have little doubt. Night-night, Mir.

Out There - Saturday, July 11, 2009 [[Steven is reclining in bed, his eyes closed. Miriam is sitting up, next to him]] / Miriam: I suppose you probably overheard enough of that conversation to want to know what?s going on. / Steven: It can wait. It?s late, and I?m tired. / Miriam: I?m banking on you being as compassionate and forgiving as you are handsome and sexy. / Steven: That would be impossible. / [[The drummer appears behind Miriam]] / Steven: But since you?ve been pretty understanding yourself, I?ll try. I suppose it?s not coming as any surprise to you that we?ll be sleeping three-to-a-bed tonight. / Miriam [[looking up at the drummer, annoyed]]: (Sigh) Of course not. / Miriam: As long as Drummer Boy here isn?t surprised that it doesn?t mean I?ll be doing *him* any favors. / Drummer: I *am* surprised. I *did* hear enough of that conversation.

Out There - Monday, July 13, 2009 [[Miriam and Steven are on the balcony of their hotel room smoking]] / Miriam: So that?s basically it? coulda happened to anyone? well, *almost* anyone. / Steven: And here I thought I was the first guy you ever were interested in. / Miriam: *Somebody* has forgotten to shut up. Oh look, it?s *you.* / Miriam: Besides, you forget I know Sherry? I?ve been apprised of *your* past, y?know. / Steven: Ouch. Forgot about that. / Steven: Well, assuming I?m leanin? towards being judgmental anyway?how attractive do you find hypocrisy? / Miriam: Hmm? depends on what it?s *wearing.*

Out There - Tuesday, July 14, 2009 Araceli: Mmmm, that was yummy. I?d almost forgotten how good a cook you are, John. / John: You should join us for breakfast more often. / Araceli: Maybe I?ll do that. Is it usually this quiet? / John: Well, James is working here now, so he might be here some mornings. And Clayton usually shows up. / Araceli: Ah, my two *other* favorite bachelors. / John: You?re kidding. / Araceli: Probably. But I seem to have relaxed my standards considerably lately.

Out There - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 Steven: What bothers me about this is that *I* was operating under the impression that you and I were going to get together, but *you* obviously *weren?t.* It doesn?t seem fair. / Miriam: Well, how the %@#& was *I* supposed to know what your impression was? Wish you?d have *told* me?*I* was hoping we?d get together *too*, y?know. / Steven: Ehhh, I guess I should just forgive you. I?m sure I would have done the exact same thing in your situation. / Miriam: You and Rod would have made a *lovely* couple. / Steven: I?m reneging on the forgiveness. And now *I* want a free pass.

Out There - Thursday, July 16, 2009 Araceli: I got a hypothetical question for you? / Sherry: Shoot. / Araceli: Say you?re kind of seeing some guy but it?s kind of undefined and he hooks up with one of your friends but she didn?t know you were kind of seeing him and you don?t even think you should be seeing him anyway. Do you have a right to be mad, and if so, who should you be mad at? / [[Araceli takes a sip of her drink]] / Sherry: You know, I?m pretty sure I know all the people you?re talking about. / Araceli: Oh, well, then I guess it?s not all that hypthetical a question.

Out There - Friday, July 17, 2009 Miriam: You?re a funny guy, Steven. *Really* funny. Free pass *denied.* / Steven: I?m sorry, Mir. I?m just not used to this. / Steven: I?m much more accustomed to being in *your* position?usually *I?m* the one having to atone for some of lapse in judgment. / Miriam: Well, then you know how I feel. / Miriam: I?m guessing your past girlfriends were not always inclined to forgive you for these lapses. / Steven: You?d be surprised?often enough they *were.* / Miriam: Well, there you go?then it should be easy for you to forgive *me.* / Steven: Naah, not necessarily. I have a lot more self-esteem than they did.

Out There - Saturday, July 18, 2009 Sherry: I hope you don?t think I?m prying, Ari? but how did this thing with *Rod* happen? I thought you were only into? / Araceli: ?Girls. Yeah, I am. Or I *was.* / Araceli: I mean, I *am.* But Rod has a way of making me feel really *special,* and I guess I *really* needed to feel like that. Or I really *wanted* to, anyway. / Araceli: Except, now I don?t feel special at *all.* I feel *crappy.* / Sherry: Well, *don?t.* You *are* special. You just made a mistake. Now you just need to wait for the right one to come along. / Araceli: (Sigh) ?or at least a much righter wrong one. / Sherry: That?s the spirit! May your next mistake be a far more pleasant one!

Out There - Monday, July 20, 2009 Miriam [[on pnhone]]: Sherry! What?s up, sweetie-pie? / Sherry: I just talked to Araceli. Bit of a $#!+ storm, huh? / Miriam: Oh, cool, so this is my ?I told you so? call? / Sherry: No, babe, that comes when Steven starts running around on you. This is your ?I care about you, is there anything I can do?? call. / Steven: Who ya talkin? to? / Miriam: Your fan club.
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090720.html
Out There - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 Miriam: I have you on speaker, babe. ?Cause I know you?d hate for Steven to miss out on any of your pearls of wisdom. / Sherry [[on phone]]: Uh? I?m not sure that?s ? uh? / Miriam: It?s okay, Sher. Steven knows. I figured he may as well know sooner than later what a piece of work I am. / Sherry: Hi, Steven. / Steven: Hi, Sher. / Sherry: What?s it like going out with yourself? / Steven: It?s interesting. How are you and Solitude doing?
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090721.html

Out There - Thursday, July 23, 2009 Miriam: Am I going crazy here? First Ari and Rod, now you and Sherry? What?s the point of breaking up with someone if you?re never going to get over them? / Steven: No no no, it?s not like that with me and Sher. I think you?re just transferring your bad experience with *one* ex-couple to *another.* Sher and I are cool. / [[Miriam studies Steven, who?s tuning his guitar]] / Steven: Of course, she probably still has it bad for *me,* but? / Miriam: *AAARRGHH!*
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090723.html
Out There - Friday, July 24, 2009 Miriam: Why didn?t you *tell* me Sherry was still into you? / Steven: Well, it?s really just speculation on my part? / Steven: Look, babe, I?d love to sit here and hash this out with you, but we?ve got our sound check here in a minute? / Steven: Maybe we should concentrate on doing what we came here to do, ?kay? / Miriam [[pointing to drummer]]: Yeah, *let?s.* I didn?t sign on to sleep next to *this* guy every night. / Drummer: Speaking of which, you were awfully *grabby* last night.

Out There - Saturday, July 25, 2009 Miriam [[talking on phone]]: Sher, I think you were right this whole time. I don?t think someone should date their best friend?s ex. / Miriam: But what?s done is done, I can?t un-date Steven. Still, I think I owe you something. If there?s any way I can make this right, please let me know. / [[She rry looks upo and sees that Chuck has just stepped up tp the bar]] / Miriam: Sher? / Sherry: Sorry. I was just thinking about how swift the sword of justice can be sometimes.

Out There - Monday, July 27, 2009 James: Here for more training, boss. / Chuck: And I?m here to play the part of the demanding customer. ?Cause James *loves* a challenge. / Sherry: Well, I?ve decided James is going to try flying solo today.

Later, James. / Sherry [[to James]]: You have my cell phone number. / James [[thinking, looking at taps]]: *Far* more significantly, I have all this *beer.*

Out There - Tuesday, July 28, 2009 Sherry: I hope that wasn?t too forward. It?s just tha I haven?t been out in *forever.* / Chuck: Well, I rarely say no to lunch with a pretty lady. / [[Sherry is beaming]] / Sherry: So? um? do you think James will be all right by himself? / Chuck: He?ll be great? he?s *used* to being by himself. / Sherry: That?s good?I figured he?d be perfect for the times when there?s nobody around and nothing to do. / Chuck: Yup, he?s your man.

Out There - Wednesday, July 29, 2009 Sherry: So? I haven?t seen you that much lately? you doing okay post-Miriam? / Chuck: Yeah, I?m all right. / Chuck: I liked Miriam a lot? I *still* like her a lot?but we had no business trying to be a couple. / Sherry: Too different? / Chuck: Yeah, but ?different? can still *work*?what *won?t* work is having to pretend I?m not constantly preparing for the news that she?s gone out on me. / Sherry: But Miriam would never? well, I don?t know about *never?* / Chuck: Let?s just say I wasn?t completely sold on the dam?s structural integrity.
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090729.html
Out There - Thursday, July 30, 2009 Chuck: I have no doubt Miriam was true to me when we going out, and I commend her for that. But it was an *effort.* It didn?t come naturally for her. / Chuck: But for me, it *did.* I never even *thought* of straying. I don?t ever remember feeling tempted even *once.* / [[Sherry slumps in her chair, looking dejected]] / Chuck: Hey, how come you look so sad all of a sudden? / Sherry: Must be the lighting in here. [[whispered:]] That, or the sadness.

Out There - Friday, July 31, 2009 Sherry: So that?s what?s up with Miriam *now.* I just hope whatever ends up happening out there isn?t too devastating. / Chuck: Is this Steven guy *that* bad? / Sherry: Well? no? he?s not a bad *person,* he?s just?I dunno? it?s just hard for me to believe he?s changed. / Sherry: Anyway, it?s out of my hands now. I did everything I could do to warn her. If she wouldn?t learn from *my* mistake, maybe she?ll learn from her *own.* / Chuck: Yeah, ?cause she has a long history of doing just *that.* / Sherry: Hope springs eternal, I guess.
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090731.html
Out There - Saturday, August 1, 2009 Sherry: I just wish she knew that it?s got nothing to do with Steven being my ex-boyfriend, or whatever the hell he was. / Sherry: It?s not that I object to her going out with my ex-boyfriend? although I think that?s generally a bad idea? I mean *I?d* never do it? / Sherry: I mean, I?d never do it unless? well, I?d just never do it. Except maybe if the situation was just right. Which it would probably never be? unless? / Chuck: We can call this our first date if that would help. / Sherry: Is it *that* obvious? Please tell me I?ve been fooling at least *one* person other than *myself.*

Out There - Monday, August 3, 2009 Sherry [[talking to Chuck as a vendor hands her some cotton candy]]: Okay, fine, so you know? now what? / Chuck: Well, I?ll start by telling you *I* find *you* attractive, too. Always have, actually. / Sherry: But you said? / Chuck: ?I said I was never *tempted.* That was because I wouldn?t *let* myself be tempted. / Chuck: I never really thought about you like that before because it would have been *wrong.* But I?m not blind? of *course* I find you attractive. / Chuck: That?s the fastest I?ve ever seen anyone eat cotton candy. / Sherry: I know. Usually I stop *before* I eat the paper cone.

What do you think of the band? Aren?t they great? / Guy: They?re all right. / Miriam: Are they all right enough to make you want to buy a CD? Or a T-shirt? / Guy: Hmm? I?m not sure. / Guy: I will say, however, that I really like *your* T-shirt. / Miriam: Thank you. It?s not for sale, though. / Guy: Well, I really only want to *borrow* it. I?d give it *back.* / Miriam: I?m afraid we?d have to burn it at that point. *Next!*
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090804.html
Out There - Wednesday, August 5, 2009 Sherry: We *can?t* date, Chuck? you?re Miriam?s ex-boyfriend? it?s just not right. / Chuck: Ordinarily, I?d agree? but wouldn?t you say it?s pretty clear that it?s not going to matter to Miriam? / Chuck: She?s going out with *your* ex, right? I think that?s a pretty clear indication of where *she* stands on this sort of thing. / Sherry: But if I adopt *Miriam?s* ethics, I won?t be *better* than her! / Chuck: Sorry, in my excitement I lost sight of what was *really* important.
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090805.html
Out There - Thursday, August 6, 2009 [[The guy Miriam was trying to sell a T-shirt to earlier has returned]] / Guy: Well, I?ve thought it over for awhile, and I?ve decided I love you. Wanna get married? / Miriam: I?m flattered, but I have to decline. / Guy: Let me guess? you?re the girlfriend of one of the guys in the band. / Miriam: Hmmm? you may have something there. / Miriam: Anyway, that?s why I have to decline, because our bed is crowded enough as it is these days, what with the drummer sharing it as well. / Guy: When we get married, you?re going to have to stop doing that. / Miriam: If you *really* loved me, you?d never *want* me to change.
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090806.html
Out There - Friday, August 7, 2009 Sherry: I dunno, Chuck? attraction is one thing, but dating is another. We really don?t know each other very well. / Chuck: yeah, well? I always thought that was the whole point of dating, Sherry? to get to know someone better. / Sherry: Um? right. That *is* the whole point of dating? I forgot about that. But let?s take it slow. I *need* to take it slow. / Chuck: I won?t try to shake your hand the first month. / Sherry: Oh, let?s get it over with. Shake it now while I think of my homeland.
http://outtherecomic.com/d/20090807.html
Out There - Saturday, August 8, 2009 Steven: How?d it go, Mir? / Miriam: Okay. I sold a few items. / Miriam: I think most people that came up to the table were more interested in flirting with Miriam than in buying stuff, but I was all business. / Steven: Good job, babe. / Miriam: Anyway, I?m really tired now. I can?t wait to get back to the room and crash. / Steven: Oh, that?s too bad? I was going to ask you if you wanted to go to a party. / Miriam: Party! Woo hoo! Let?s go!
