Out There - Monday, December 28, 2009 Sherry: You're doing quite well here, James. Maybe I should stick with you and kick Miriam to the curb. / James: Man, I don't want any part of ya'll's freaky incestuous weirdness. / Sherry: Oh, I was just kidding, James, I'm not going to fire my best friend. / Sherry [[putting her hands on James' shoulders]]: But when she gets back, I think I can still find some hours for you here if you want. / James: Swell. / Sherry: You're just not used to people--especially females--being nice to you, are you, James? / James: I'm not used to *caring*, either.

Out There - Tuesday, December 29, 2009 Sherry: I'm serious about giving you more hours, James. I think I'd like to have some more time off, and *somebody's* got to work those hours. / James: Right, I see how it works. Ya'll make sure I'm here so I don't walk in y'all. It's cool. It's like getting paid to give ya'll privacy. / Sherry: No, that's not how it works at all. How it works is, I say ?would you like some more work?? and you say ?yes, thank you, Sherry, I'd love some.? / James: Man, I don?t make nearly enough here for that kinda enthusiasm. / Sherry: It felt a little off to me, too. Sorry.

Out There - Wednesday, December 30, 2009 Sherry: James, I need to say something to somebody, and you're the only one here. / James: Lucky me. / Sherry: The thing is, I've made this bar my whole life the last few years, y'know? And in some ways that's okay, but ultimately, there's been something lacking. / Sherry: So part of this whole thing with your roommate is just an attempt to get some balance in my life. Understand? / James: No. / Sherry: Great. I thought I was losing my touch.

Out There - Thursday, December 31, 2009 James: I get it, Sherry. You played at being career girl for too long, found out there?s no "fulfill" in it, an' now you?re ready for "thrill." / James: Why you picked the straightest damn arrow in the quiver is beyon' me, but it's cool, I've got both your backs. / Sherry: Quiver? / James: It's that thing archers wear on their backs. You know, where they keep their arrows. / Sherry: That seems *way* too geeky for *you* to know. / James: Now I gotta figure out who I've been hangin' out with too much.

Out There - Friday, January 1, 2010 Sherry: There's nothing that's more important to me than my bar, James. No *thing* at least; of course certain *people* are more important. / James: Right, John, and Red, and I guess now Chuck. Maybe the lawyer chick. The rest of us can go hang. / Sherry: Is this some passive-aggressive tactic to force me to say *you're* important to me, too, James? 'Cause I *hate* that $#!+. / James: Man you don't know me at *all,* do you? / Sherry: What, you don't "do" passive-aggressive? / James: I *sure* as hell don't *admit* to it.

Out There - Saturday, January 2, 2010 James: All right, I'll admit it, Sherry. This place is all right. I'll take whatever hours I can get. / Sherry: I'm happy to hear that, James. I wasn't sure you'd be the best employee, but you've turned out to be pretty good. / [[The two sit in silence]] / James: Man, now I feel guilty. I sometimes sort of steal beer from you. / Sherry: I'm used to that. My best friend sometimes steals a lot more.

Out There - Monday, January 4, 2010 Miriam: @%#&, I keep forgetting you're famous, Walter. / Wally: So? / Miriam: Well, you probably want to sit in some dark corner so you won't be recognized and fawned over by some annoying fanboy. / Steven: Whoa! *This* is your friend? The great Wally *Green?* / Rebecca: Welcome to Humility Central.

Out There - Tuesday, January 5, 2010 Steven: So how do you two know each other? / Wally: We grew up together. Miriam was my next-door neighbor. / Steven: Wow, I can't believe you never told me that, Mir! This guy's a *legend!* / Miriam: Didn't know you were such a fan. Anyway, to *me* he's just my friend Walter. / Miriam: Besides, we never *did* do enough talking, did we, Steven? Which is why-- / Steven: --We're here now. You, me, and Wally Green. / Rebecca: Hi, I'm the wife. I don't really need a name. / Miriam: They gave her one anyway. I can look it up if you're interested.

Out There - Wednesday, January 6, 2010 Wally: Why don't we give you two some privacy for now, and we can all hang out together in a little bit. / Miriam: Okay. / Rebecca [[walking away with Wally]]: Doesn't this kind of defeat the purpose of our being here? So we could step in if needed? / Wally: We have to give her a little space, Bec. We don't want to treat her like a dependent. / [[Wally and Rebecca are seated a table across the room, watching Miriam and Steven]] / Rebecca: Why do you think she looks so sad right now? / Wally [[standing up, reaching into his pocket]]: My fault. I forgot to give her money for drinks.

Out There - Thursday, January 7, 2010 Miriam: Okay, I believe you, Steven. I believe you didn't mean to desert me, I believe you thought I wanted you to kiss someone else, I believe everything. / Miriam: I also believe we shouldn't be together. / Steven: There was one other thing I forgot to mention. I quit the band so I could look for you. / Miriam: You what? / Steven: You heard me. / Miriam [[now sitting in Steven's lap. facing him]]: I don't think I did. / Steven: Oh, *I* think you did.

Out There - Friday, January 8, 2010 Rebecca: He's cute, but I don't like him. / Wally: That's what you used to say about *her.* / Rebecca: I did not. I would have *never* admitted I thought she was cute. / Wally: True, but your spiteful tone would give it away anyway. / Rebecca: Huh, wonder where that spite came from? Couldn't have been because I was dating a cheating creep-o, could it? / Wally: At least the cheating creep-o could admit he was *wrong* occasionally. / Rebecca: That's why I love the cheating creep-o. / Wally: You *really* think he's *cute?*

Out There - Saturday, January 9, 2010 Steven: Look, what were my choices? The band is on *tour.* We had *commitments* to fulfill. If I'm *in* the band, I *have* to go on with them to the next city. / Steven: But if it's a choice between you and the band, I choose *you.* / Miriam: You don't have to explain it, Steven. I just never imagined you'd give all that up for-- / [[Miriam pauses, eyes Steven suspiciously]] / Steven: What? / Miriam: I just remembered you hate those guys. / Steven: I know, but it meant missing out on all the groupies, too, you know.

Out There - Monday, January 11, 2010 Miriam: I feel kinda bad now. / Steven: Why? / Miriam: Well, it was really nice of you to stick around for me, but the bottom line is, I still don't think we should be together. / Steve: Maybe you should think it over some more. 'Cause it you feel bad about it-- / Miriam: --Steven... / Miriam: Wait, how did I end up in your lap? I don't even remember sitting down. / Steven: See? There're issues of magnetism and delirium that need to be considered here.

Out There - Tuesday, January 12, 2010 Rebecca: Too bad Miriam never found someone to settle down with. / Wally: Maybe she's just not the settling down type. / Rebecca: In a way I kind of envy her, but I also pity her. I'm sure she has a lot of fun, but it's probably balanced out by some truly miserable patches. / Wally: *We* have fun, *too*, you know. Occasionally. / Rebecca: And we're somewhat miserable every now and then, too, I guess. / Rebecca: I'm just not sure we're as *cute* as they are. / Wally: Or if we'd even *want* to be.

Out There - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 Steven: Well, okay, Miriam. I understand how you feel. Hey, we can still be friends, though, right? / Miriam: Yeah, of course, Steven. I *always* try to remain friends. Case in point, Mr. Baseball star over there. / Steven: You've *got* to tell me all about *that* one of these days. / Miriam: Sorry, I never kiss and tell. You'll have to ask him. / Steven: Well, I think you just *admitted* to the *kissing* part. / Miriam [[looking irritated as Steven pulls her close]]: Careful, Steven. "Friends" means not having to put up with your $#!+. / Steven: Among the many *other* benefits.

Out There - Thursday, January 14, 2010 Miriam: So, what do you think you'll do now? / Steven: Go home I guess. I've rented a car. I was hoping *you'd* be riding in it too. / Miriam: Well, maybe I should. At least then I'm not relying on Walter and Rebecca to lend me air fare. / Wally: There ya go. / Miriam: I'll go ask them. / Steven: You need permission? / Miriam: I dunno. They seem so grown-up compared to me. Seems like I should consult them on important decisions. / Steven: They're looking stern and disapproving right now.

Out There - Friday, January 15, 2010 Rebecca: Do whatever you think is best, Miriam... we're behind you either way. / Wally: Wait. Don't go with him. I don't trust him. / Miriam: I think you're right, Walter. I'll go tell him goodbye. / [[Miriam walks away as Wally and Rebecca smile approvingly]] / Rebecca: This is getting weird. I felt like telling her how proud I was of her. / Wally: I think I'm ready to discuss having kids.

Out There - Saturday, January 16, 2010 Steven: Okay, Mir, if I can't change your mind, I guess I'll see you around Portstown eventually. / Miriam: Yeah... eventually. / Steven: What are you going to do now? / Miriam: Probably go back to their house, slip into my bikini, drink wine, and soak in their hot tub. / [[Miriam, perhaps unconsciously, strikes a sexy pose]] / Steven: Okay, I think we're even now for whatever I did to you. / Miriam: I'm sorry. I'd invite you, but I'm pretty sure they don't like you.

Out There - Monday, January 18, 2010 Wally [[in the hallway, closing the door to his bedroom]]: Poor Rebecca just isn't used to drinking this much. / Miriam: Well, I'll be leaving soon, and taking my evil influence with me. / Wally: You going to bed now? / Miriam: Naah, I'm going to hit your jacuzzi. Care to join me? / [[Wally stands awkwardly, nervously looking towards the bedroom door]] / Rebecca [[from the bedroom]]: It's okay, Wally. / Miriam: It's so cute how you two wrestle with your perceptions of how evil my influence really is.
