You sure about that?

[rhine]

... no idea.

But saying it enough might make it real. And enough of you are over there, then the other two may need the extra hands.

[residentmerc]

... Yeah.

[ he puts a hand on her shoulder briefly... ]

We'll do what we can. Just make sure to hold them together long enough and then you can probably make those other three do whatever you want for a while.

[ THEY OWE HER SO MUCH ]

[rhine]

Aha, with my luck, something will happen right before they do it!

[ everything keeps happening on days ]

... but I'll look after them. Maybe we can play on the Wii.

[residentmerc]

[ .......? ]

The... we?

[rhine]

Oh, the boys have one. Satoru and Suguru. They did a fancy presentation for it.

[ they didn't have to do a presentation ]

[residentmerc]

... Wait, I think someone talked about it. The videogame thing?

[ knows what a videogame is. does not know what a wii is. tragedy ]

[rhine]

Yeah! The controller is like, a remote? And it's really easy to accidentally throw it and hit someone if they're in the way.

[ things that have happened ]

[residentmerc]

... Did you do it?

[rhine]

Essek just moved in the way.

[residentmerc]

[ if it wasn't two hours after it happened he would truly say that is a bad habit of his but instead he just. stares ]

Of you throwing your remote.

[rhine]

I'm sure you would have also done it...

[residentmerc]

... Hit Essek on the head with a game remote?

[rhine]

Well, play games, but you can do that as well.

[residentmerc]

... Do you want me to?

[ play games or hit essek? yes ]

[rhine]

[ a pause ]

Yeah.

[residentmerc]

... I'll think about it.

[ WHICH ONE? ]

[rhine]

Good.

[ she won't question which ]

Sorry for all the work you guys are going to have to do.

[residentmerc]

Well... It's about time we pulled our weight.

[ and decided on what some rocks would do ]

[rhine]

I feel like you have been already, considering how many times you've all been maimed...

[residentmerc]

... I guess it counts.

[ being maimed does not feel like normal work. ]

[rhine]

[ it is in this economy ]

Well, you all knew how dangerous those little break-ins were, but you still kept doing it anyway.

[residentmerc]

You've seen how stubborn this bunch is.

[ he is just as stubborn, ]

[rhine]

It is one of your better traits.

[ pauses ]

... except when it's not...

[residentmerc]

...

Half and half?
