The Captive Page #2

- All right.

Okay, it's like an old stone building.

It's a church or a castle or something.

With a bridge going over a river.

There's a woman standing on

the bridge in a beige coat,

holding a red umbrella.

That's impressive.

Not really. Practice and guess work.

Could have been a red kite.

- So what's your deal, Jeff?

- Me?

I arrest people.

All right. Sounds good.

- Promise.

- I promise.

Pinkie promise.

Okay. Pinkie promise.

Cass, say bye to Albert, honey.

We gotta go.

- Bye.

- Bye, Albert!

- Bye!

- Bye, buddy.

What were you guys talking about?

I made him promise,

he'll never skate with anyone else.

- Nobody else, ever as long as he lives?

- Nobody else.

- Wow, that's a...

- That's a big promise.

- For your whole life?

- Yeah. We're a team.

- There's my girl. But we gotta go.

- Yeah. Bye.

Come here.

Okay, I'll see you at home. Love you!

Bye!

- Bye!

- Bye! I Bye!

But the fact that you

guys made that promise

to each other,

promise to always be a team,

it means you have to start thinking

about how you present yourselves, okay?

It's... it's... I'm just saying

that it's not necessary.

You guys are so good

it's actually distracting.

Albert thinks it makes us stand out.

I don't think so. I think what makes

you stand out is your talent.

Whether you got a white skate on one

foot and a black on the other it's...

What's the... what's the

word I'm thinking of?

- Irrelevant?

- Irrelevant. Right.

Irrelevant.

It's like a trick you don't need.

- A trick?

- Yeah, exactly.

- What's so funny?

- No, it's not a trick, it's a gimmick.

- A gimmick we don't need.

- It's a gimmick you don't need.

- A gimmick.

- Well, there you go.

- It's the proper word.

- Oh, that's the proper word?

- Yeah. Gimmick is the proper word.

- Thank you.

Hello.

Hi. Sarah called in sick.

I might be really late.

Ouch.

I don't know what you're

gonna do about dinner.

Well, we'll be fine. We've actually

just pulled up to the pie shop.

You gonna have pie for dinner?

No. We're not gonna have pie for dinner.

We're gonna have macaroni for dinner.

We have leftover macaroni.

We'll put that on top of the pie.

All right.

Will you get me the cherry-rhubarb?

Cherry-rhubarb, got it. No problem.

Done. Love you. Bye.

And ice cream.

- What kind of ice cream?

- Chocolate.

- On your macaroni?

- Ew! Not macaroni!

It may be the grossest

thing I've ever heard.

It's going to be an awesome dinner.

Hey, Linda, you know what? You're lucky

that a 9-year-old makes the menu

because that one in there

wants a macaroni pie.

They didn't have chocolate

ice cream. So...

Cass?

Cass!

Cass!

Cass!

Cass!

- Hey, Linda, did Cass back here?
