"In which Nillan and Cinn sit outside the post office." [Cinn] It's NICE sitting here under the night sky. / [Nillan] Oh yes. I'm grateful to have escaped that loud, noisy gathering. / [Cinn] Oh, likewise. / [Nillan] I don't even know why I went to Scott's party tonight. I just sort of figured that I deserved it after working so hard all summer, you know? / [Cinn]...
"In which Cinn provides Nillan with some applause." [Nillan] Whoa! We've been sitting here for almost an hour. Maybe we should get back to the party. / [Cinn] It could be over by now... for all we know. People could be leaving, wondering where we are... 'The party wasn't the same since Nillan left,' they're all saying. / [Nillan] I always think that...
"In which Nillan and Leyla are reunited in unusual fashion." [Scott] Nillan! Where have you been? / [Nillan] I went on a walk with Cinn. / [Cinn] Why are you so panicky? / [Nillan] Why is your hand on my neck? / [Scott] Didn't you notice us trying to call you? / [Nillan] My phone was "off". / [Cinn] We were so very heavily and deeply involved, you know, in conversation. / [Scott]...
"In which Nillan is surprised." [Nillan] I wish you would have told me that you'd be here. I almost didn't come to this party tonight! / [Leyla] I wanted it to be a surprise! / [Nillan] Why didn't you tell me that you were back in town? / [Leyla] I wanted it to be a surprise! / [Nillan] I haven't seen you for four months and the most...
"In which Nillan is both teased and terrified." [Leyla] What's wrong? / [Nillan] It's just... you've never misread me quite so thoroughly before... / [Nillan] I would have come and picked you up from the airport, had I known you were back in town. Now, I don't even know where you're living. I don't know your phone number, for goodness' sake. How...

Now, I don't even know where you're living. I don't know your phone number, for goodness' sake. How...
"In which Scott points out why Cinn may have spent time with Nillan." [Jessica] So Cinn, did you have a good time tonight? / [Cinn] Why didn't you tell me that Leyla would be here? / [Scott] What's wrong? / [Cinn] I just spent the whole night out on a walk with Nillan, only to find that his girlfriend -- Leyla -- was waiting here the whole time to SURPRISE him after she...
"In which Cinn spills her heart to Bruno." [Cinn] Sniffle Sniffle. / [Bruno] Hey homegirl, what's wrong? / [Cinn] Oh... Hi Bruno. / [Cinn] I made a fool of myself tonight... getting lovelorn over a boy who already has a girlfriend. / [Bruno] It's alright. I blow it all the time with girls... Heh... I used to be so taken by your friend, Jessica,...
"In which Nillan cannot look Leyla in the eyes as he speaks with her." [Leyla] You seem seriously upset. / [Nillan] I am! I haven't seen you in FOUR MONTHS and you arrived in the city and didn't even tell me that you were here! / [Leyla] I just arrived this afternoon, Nillan. I dropped my bags off at my new place, and came here to see you as soon as I could! / [Nillan]...
"In which Cinn is compared to a 2,000 pound man." [Cinn] So, Bruno... you think I'll be out of love forever? / [Bruno] No one is out-of-love forever. / [Bruno] I saw on T.V. -- this 2,000 pound Mexican guy... even HE had a girlfriend. She rubbed oil on his fat rolls and they read the Bible together. / [Cinn] She rubs him with OIL? / [Bruno] Oh yeah....
 
"In which Nillan and Leyla are reaquainted." [Leyla] Oh, come on... this is ridiculous, Nillan. / [Nillan] What is? / [Leyla] We haven't seen each other for FOUR months. And we're spending our first moments back together FIGHTING, for goodness´sake. / [Leyla] I'm cold and I'm tired and I just really want a hug. / [Nillan] I'm pretty sure that...
"In which Nillan and Leyla drive home." [Nillan] Bye Scott. Bye Jess! / [Scott] Bye, you two! / [Leyla] Thanks for a fun party! / [Leyla] Thanks for offering me the ride to my brand-new home, Nillan. / [Nillan] Um... first of all, you're my girlfriend, so obviously I'm going to give you a ride. And, secondly, we can't have you navigating Vancouver's...
"In which Scott and Jessica ponder cleaning up an unexpected houseguest." [Jessica] That was an awesome end-of-summer party, 'hon. / [Scott] Thanks. Still the party king! / [Jessica] I guess we've got to clean up a lot of stuff now... / [Scott] No prob! I'll get it in the morning. / [Jessica] What about HIM? / [Scott] I'll take care of him in the morning, too. / [Scott]...
"In which Nillan kerplunks." [Nillan] Pssst.... Leyla are you actually sleeping? / [Leyla] Zzzz. / [Nillan] Psst... Leyla? Hello? / [Leyla] Zzzz. / [Nillan] I think she's actually sleeping. / [Nillan] I guess I could get some actual studying done, then... / [Nillan] Too bad sleep is contagious.
"In which there is much shivering, and talk about shivering." [Leyla] It's really foggy out tonight, huh? / [Nillan] Yeah. Really cold too. / [Leyla] You should've dressed warmer. / [Nillan] It shouldn't be this cold in September. This is an October sort of cold. / [Leyla] How do you measure that. / [Nillan] Vibrations per minute of my teeth chattering.
 
"In which thermometers are in cahoots with others." [Leyla] You know, my parents tell me that it's still sunny in Montréal. / [Nillan] How come it feels colder and colder the longer we wait for the bus? / [Leyla] I've actually always believed that thermometers and bus schedules have a secret deal worked out. An evil deal.
"In which Leyla finds that her personal belongings have gone astray." [Leyla] Ever since you started talking about ebing cold, I started to get cold as well. / [Nillan] You're sure the rain that's started to trickle down has nothing to do with the coldness? / [Leyla] Really, you should put your arm around me like a gentleman. / [Nillan] You should put your scarf on. / [Leyla]...
"In which Nillan and Leyla go to a baby shower." [Nillan] Ready to go? / [Leyla] Yeah. Do I look okay? / [Nillan] Of course you do. You look beautiful. / [Leyla] I'm not sure how to dress for a baby shower. How does a person dress for a baby shower? / [Nillan] You look wonderful. / [Leyla] You're dressed all fancy. / [Leyla] I suppose the baby is...
"In which Nillan is conservative about his conservativeness." [Leyla] It's been so long since I even saw a baby... You know -- Up close, so I could touch it. / [Leyla] I hope Madeline doesn't ask me to hold him. I don't want to be responsible for dropping their newborn. / [Nillan] I just want to get this whole uncomfortable episode out of the way. / [Leyla] Don't...
"In which Leyla is thankful." [Leyla] Well, I think it's wonderful that Sam and Madeline had this baby. / [Leyla] They're a great couple... and they obviously love children. / [Nillan] Look... / [Nillan] I Love children! Loving children and HAVING children are two entirely different things. / [Leyla] I'm just thankful they LOVE...
 
"In which Leyla and Nillan discuss their present." [Nillan] What do you think of our present? I wrapped it up real nice-like. / [Leyla] Hey, good work! It looks great. / [Nillan] Betcha didn't think I could be that neat! / [Leyla] You even have a little gift-tag! / [Leyla, reading] "To: Miles." / [Leyla] Shouldn't the tag read: "To Sam and Madeline?" / [Nillan]...
"In which Nillan and Leyla arrive at the babyshower." [Jessica] Hello people! Welcome to the baby shower! / [Nillan] Hi Jessica. / [Leyla] Don't YOU look stunning! / [Jessica] Thanks. Presents go over there, jackets go over there. / [Leyla] It looks like Jessica isn't wearing her ridiculous BLUE contact lenses today. She looks so much better without...
"In which Nillan is creeped out by an unseasonal tree." [Leyla] Can you put the present away? / [Nillan] No problem... it goes over there, right? / [Leyla] Right. I'll put our jackets away, in the meanwhile. / [Nillan] ! / [Nillan, standing in front of a Christmas tree] (What is coming over the world?) / [Nillan] It was creeping me out over there. / [Leyla]...
"In which Sam displays an unmistakable mark of fatherhood." [Nillan] So... this being a baby shower and whatnot... where is the baby? / [Leyla] According to Jessica, he's in the other room -- sleeping. / [Nillan] How about Sam? Where is he? / [Leyla] Sam is over there. / [Nillan] Fatherhood must be tiring. / [Leyla] It's his party. He can lie if he wants to. / [Sam]...
"In which Jessica can't understand herself." [Jessica] Hey Bruno! / [Bruno] Hi Jessica. This is Anahi. / [Anahi] Hi. / [Bruno] Where's Scott tonight? / [Jessica] How should I know? / [Bruno] Uh... isn't he your boyfriend. / [Jessica] Not anymore. We broke up. AGAIN. / [Bruno] Keeping track of the two of you is confusing. / [Jessica] Ha! Try LIVING...
 
"In which Jessica squishes her cheeks like those fish in the sea." [Bruno] Isn't this about the 1000th time that you and Scott have broken up? / [Jessica] Living with him was beginning to feel like living in a fish bowl! No Freedom! / [Bruno] You MOVED IN with him? / [Jessica] Yeah. / [Bruno] DESPITE all of the previous times that you two have dated and broken up! / [Jessica]...
"In which Miles is introduced to Nillan and Leyla." [Sam] Oh hello! Welcome to our humble home! / [Nillan] Hi! / [Leyla] Hey Sam! -- We've actually been here for a while... but you were sleeping. / [Nillan] It's the baby! / [Sam] Yes, it is. This is Miles. / [Leyla] Aw! Hi Miles! / [Sam] Say "Hi," Little guy! This is Leyla! / [Nillan] I'm Nillan, Sam's...
"In which Miles yawns." [Leyla] I don't understand! Babies cannot speak, or even chew, but they have advanced knowledge of hair-pulling. / [Sam] They're pretty good at ear-ring tugging too. And ear-lobes! / [Nillan] No doubt! / [Sam] Little Miles here likes to tug on things... Don't you little guy? Oh yes you do! / [Miles]...
"In which little Miles sleeps more than he cries, while others don't sleep." [Nillan] He's a pretty quiet baby, huh? / [Sam] Good thing, too. If he is making noise, it's usually to cry. / [Nillan] Does he cry a lot? / [Sam] Surprisingly little. He picks his moments though. Like, usually when I'm sleeping. / [Leyla] The dark is a scary place. / [Sam] You'd think he'd be used to...
"In which Jessica doesn't really like babies." [Bruno] The baby is pretty cute, huh? / [Anahi] I think so! / [Jessica] I guess. I've never been a real fan of babies. / [Anahi] Oh why not? They're so cute! / [Bruno] Jessica's lifestyle doesn't really work with babies. / [Jessica] My lifestyle doesn't really work with ME.
