No.

Thank you, sir.

Hi!

Hey. What're you having?

How about a "Bully Wheat. "

There you go.

Thanks.

You know I'm good for it.

Yeah.

That's just wrong.

...no, this is not "new age,"

this is older than time.

No, it's not "new age," but...

oh, Kirsten!

It's my friend Kirsten!

Kirsten, hey! Twice in one day,

huh?

The odds.

So I want you to meet my

friends Doug and Charity.

- What's up?

- Hi.

They're in town from Boulder.

Of course they are.

So anyway, it's kind of lucky we ran

into you like this, because uh...

Doug and Charity need a place

to crash tonight...

Yeah, maybe load up on a

"twelve-r" of Stag and hang out?

Sorry guys, couch is taken.

Oh, no. Um...

Seriously, Katie's cousin's up from Lamar,

she's going to theater camp at Stephens.

They're doing "Pippin. "

That's... that's actually

not what I was going to say,

I was just going to

say that... um, maybe...

I'm just saying that maybe we

can think outside the box here,

maybe if you had a backyard

where we could lay down a tarp,

or pitch a tent?

No f***ing way.

Maybe you know about any affordable

camping spots around here?

At least something with public showers and

hopefully not crawling with rapists, but...

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Um, sorry?

Hey, is that Kirsten?

Kirsten! Hey you'ze!

Yes. Hi!

I don't know if I've properly

introduced you to Beth.

Beth, this is my esteemed chum

Kirsten.

"Esteemed. "

Nice to meet you.

Totally.

You just moved here from

Baltimore?

Yes. My aunt works at MU,

so I had an opportunity...

...to join up at the journalism school...

...so, yeah.

That's cool. I mean, it's a

good program and, uh...

...it's a great time to be in

journalism with all the...

...stuff that's going on and

everything, so that sounds like a...

...really choice opportunity!

Cool, thanks!

File under "ironic coincidences," but my

aunt Barb lives in Columbia, Maryland.

Get out!

There's a Columbia, Maryland?

Have you been to visit her?

No, but I thought about it.

She teaches sign language to deaf and

hearing kids in integrated classrooms.

Wow. That's great!

We were just going to go

home because we couldn't...

...figure out anything

else to do tonight...

Tell me about it.

Did you want to go get a drink

at Eastside?

No!

No, I don't. I, uh...

Come to think of it, though...

...Beth here is new in town and

maybe we should just take her

to one of Columbia's more "off the

beaten path" kind of destinations?

Like what?

I'm talking McNally's!

McNally's?

Yes! Oh, my God. McNally's has quickly

endeared itself to me in so many ways.

Really.

I'm game!

I could have sworn it was right

here...

That's Tony's!

I have to pee.
