SAMIRA It's always nice to see you happy. And comfortable around people. It's very deserved after all these years. You also pull off a baseball cap very well.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron It feels nice too. Why thank you. Everyone wants to be told they're pretty every once in a while.

[samira deol]

SAMIRA Good. OK beautiful guy, you're really asking for it.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Gonna have me blushin over here. Have you been told you're pretty lately? Besides at the party, people were even tellin me like I didn't already know.

[samira deol]

SAMIRA May have heard it once or twice. Just trying to stay humble about it ;) Anything new growing in that mystery little garden of yours?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron One twin got all of it, the other got none. Humility that is.    Green onions but they're so easy it shouldn't count. Got sprouts from some lettuce seeds. How about that plant you took home from the nursery, how's it doing?

[samira deol]

SAMIRA Ohh yes. Ish is not shy about his 'dashing good looks' and his perfect hair. Ummm...well...

[aaron eklund]

Aaron And this girl likes him despite that. Romantic isn't it? Come on, Sami. Say it ain't so.

[samira deol]

SAMIRA Do you think he hypnotized her? Echo ate some of it. Don't worry, I checked and it's not poisonous for dogs!

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Could be the other way around. She approached him. Must've traded manners with Ukiah, he hasn't destroyed much at all lately. Guess we'll have to go back to the nursery.

[samira deol]

SAMIRA Did she really? Oh great, the rambunctious spirit had awoken. He’s calm for now… I probably need one that’s very hard to kill. Give me some hope and grow from there.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron So he says. Don't know the details. I'll bet he has way too many toys. Put some away, then make him think you're really fond of one of them, so that's the one he'll want of course. Succulent it is.

[samira deol]

SAMIRA The mystery continues. You sure you’re not a part time dog trainer as well? He has very sad eyes sometimes, we will see how much my will breaks after he notices. Great. Maybe a cactus, even.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron You're gonna be so glad you were patient and waited to hear it all from him. I know my boy is all. I believe in you, I'll teach you yet.

[samira deol]

SAMIRA No I'm not. My patience disappears the moment I leave a surgical floor. Echo is more....dramatic. Very huffy, he sighs as if his world is so insufferable. Green thumb may not be my strong suit. Thumb stitches though? A pro, no scar. And no, I will not teach you how to do that.
