Reclusion Page #2

---

He probably doesn't even like

me, so it'll make two of us.

All right, nervous Nelly, what did

you do with my girlfriend this time?

I am not nervous Nelly.

Okay, you're not.

He's been living

an anchoritic lifestyle,

and I don't want to be the

reason he regrets his decision.

Is that even a word?

Reclusive.

Okay.

The food's perfect,

you're perfect,

and he's gonna wish

he did this six months ago.

You think so?

Absolutely.

All right, what do you

want me to do?

Tupperware?

Yeah.

How you doing over there?

Good, just sauteing the garlic.

You're not gonna

eat that, are you?

Mmm, nice!

Is that the stuff with the

sesame, the, uh, the Bernero?

Cavolo Nero, also called Kale.

Oh, this looks really good.

Thanks.

You don't like it, do you?

My wife used to make Kale.

Oh, uh, I hope I didn't...

No, they're just,

um, something th...

I'm her... uh, I'm sure

hers was much better.

Couple episodes of top chef

doesn't make me erudite.

Okay, that's not a word.

I'm just saying.

Really, now?

It's a word.

Yeah, I don't think so.

What do you think?

Means, um, having

great knowledge.

Thank you.

Okay, Merriam Webster,

I'd like you to meet

encyclopedia Britannica.

I knew that one.

Yeah, right.

What?

Nothing.

So, that animus earlier

about the food situation.

Seems like wasted energy.

Did you just use

"animus" in a sentence?

I did, and correctly,

and I kinda think you want to

make out with me right now.

You think three syllables

is all it takes?

I think it's

a pretty good start.

I'm not that easy.

You're gonna have to come

up with something bigger.

Oh, you don't think I can?

I'd like to see you try.

A star?

Batman.

Oh!

Yeah, you're not gonna

get this one either.

That was a terrible Batman.

That was the Batman.

Mmm...

Peace sign?

Whoa, look at you,

one for two, huh?

It's so sad.

Are you still

thinking about that?

He was married, had a family.

Now he's all alone.

Not if we can help it.

Can we?

Yeah.

Look what we just did.

Go to sleep, all right?

Okay.

Nick?

Nick?

Oh, my god! Nick, Nick!

What's going on?

Something's grabbed my arm!

What do you mean?

Something's grabbed my arm!

What?

Whoa!

Is there... is there

somebody in there?

I don't know.

Get back, get back, get back.

You gotta be kidding me.

What?

It's the luggage.

You just had a bad dream,

and you were sleepwalking.

We both know that's

nothing new for you.

This was real.

No, it wasn't.

It seemed like

it was real, but it wasn't.

You thought someone

was in there.

That's because you did!

Look, we just had an earthquake,

all that stuff got tossed

around and it fell.

That's it.

Can I have some wine, please?
