G: You're going to be alright, dude. R: You say that, but I don't want to die alone.

R: Oh, showing up, are you? Ready to get your butts beat by the champion of games?

L: Big man, all talk. Get your butt on the sofa and let's do this.

R: Gnome! You're cheating! That's gotta be cheating! L: Maybe use more than one brain cell and learn something.

G: Work again? How's that going with the new boss?

D: Have you ever swam in shark infested waters? Because that's how it feels. Every day.

G: Why don't you apply somewhere else? You're worth more than just being someone's punching bag, Deon.

D: I appreciate it, Grey, but I'm OK. I know a position will open soon at the museum and I'll transfer, hopefully far away from Tess.

T: This will only take as long as needed. 

D: [thinking] I’m not getting the promotion.

T: I think we all can agree that Deon is the best sim for the job. [others murmur in approval] T: Good then it is settled.

D: Tess, can I have a moment? T: Oh?

D: I would like to thank you. I know this past year...it’s been hard, but I’m glad we could put that behind us. I really look forward to working with you.

T: You’re not working with me. You are working under me. And you will be working hard. Every night. Long nights until everything you’ve worked for in life will fall apart and I’ll be laughing.

T: See you Monday.

D: Today is the big day. Are you going to be all right with this?

L: You know how I feel about that witch, but it has been a year and she is technically our boss now.

D: I’m not going to be alone with her. The whole board is on the vote.

L: Yeah, it’s going to go great. You have been exemplary. There’s no way they won’t promote you.

D: That’s all I needed to hear.

Happy New Year!

D: What do you think of the exhibit, Mr. Bradshaw? W: Yes, yes, excellent. Dr. Raines, the museum thanks you for your hard work. N: You’re welcome. I had a little bit of help from a...well...a boney guy.

B: Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Bradshaw, but it is time for that appointment.

[mdpthatsme]

T: Today is the day that I’m finally getting into that man’s pants or so help me...

T: Deon! Surprise! I have something to say to you. T: !!! D: !!! L: Oh no...

[mdpthatsme]

L: Yoohoo, boss man, working hard? Did you get the marketing reports? D: Yes, thank you. With Phillip and Izumi gone on their honeymoon, we need to have this exhibit ready for Professor Raines’s return.

L: Everything is ahead of schedule, Deon. Why are we continuing to work these long nights? I just feel you’ve been avoiding me--us--and the Tess subject and using work as a way to do it. D: No, that’s not true. I just...I...

[mdpthatsme]

B: Have those marketing reports been sent yet?  LC: I will check with him personally.

LB: Reports are almost finished, boss. DB: Good, send them to me when you are done. Dale, rerun those numbers...
