If you had me alone, locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you have me do?

Stern looking houseplants intimidate Ted.

I don't know, I think Ted could take a houseplant.

Even a cactus?

Ted's crafty.

Then he's got no reason to be intimidated by me. Tell him to get over it.

We'll see. Ted's not always good at getting over things.

No one's good at getting over things. We deal anyway.

We deal anyway.

And part of your dealing is apparently talking to me. So I might as well be there for the things you'll talk about anyway.

This could be pretty bad for you if I get caught. We get caught.

You think it wouldn't be already?

It's different when it's just me.

It hasn't been just you for awhile.

Twelve years is a hard habit to break.

You really want to talk to me about hard habits to break?

I think it's something we could both give long talks about.

So let's agree not to do that, and you just deal with the fact that there are people around you who want in.

I'll work on that.
