And if you don't want to be alone, you can come stay with us, me and V.

[perfectible]

You're my friend, Alina. I want to look after you, that's what friends are for.

[sunmon]

you're reggie's friend.

[perfectible]

[ ouch. ]

I'd like to think we are friends. And were friends before you and Reggie got together.

[sunmon]

i'm sorry
i just don't expect you to still feel that way

[perfectible]

Why wouldn't I?

[sunmon]

[perfectible]

Like I said, we were friends before that.

[sunmon]

[perfectible]

Okay, if I'm not there, you can leave him with one of the bouncers or bartenders. But if I am there, I'd love to give you a hug or something.

[perfectible]

He might come back, Alina. People come back all the time.

[sunmon]

yeah.
i know.
you're right.

[perfectible]

It's okay for you to fall apart too.

[sunmon]

i'll try to remember that.

[ betty wouldn't say it, if she knew. what's more, alina's not sure she remembers how. she's too used to so many things riding on her that she can't simply set it all down. ]
