In the south, Flame has just finished his bubble bath complete with rubber duckies.
Bakeitor: Okay Flame, are you ready to talk now?
Flame: First I must dine! I can't remember things on an empty stomach.
Bakeitor: What would you like to eat?
Flame: Sirloin steak. Fried potatoes. Watermelon. Corn. And a side of french fries.
Bakeitor (losing patience): Does this look like a restaurant to you?
Flame: SWEATS. I don't know, its been so long since I've been in one!
Dice: Don't worry Bakeitor, I have all that stuff on hand.
Dice starts making the meal.
Flame: Don't forget about the barbecue sauce and the ketchup!
In GNZ, Zes has taken off for Arda with Eonwe. Eonwe desires to meet Pythas. Zes desires to leave GNZ and never return. He is tired of being a servant for Manwe and Little.
Eonwe: Zes, have you ever met Pythas before?
Zes: No, I haven't.
Eonwe: Do you think he will like me?
Zes: Uh... Sure! Of course he will!
Eonwe: Its so kind of you to take me to Arda to meet him. Manwe and Varda would never do this for me.
Zes: Varda is a beautiful woman!
Eonwe: Don't let Manwe hear you say that, he'll think you have a crush on her!
Zes: I think she could do better! Find a better husband than that rude old man!
Eonwe: Sounds like you're jealous, but I know how you feel. Pythas could find a much better wife than Snowfalls. He could marry me instead and we could live happily ever after.
Zes: Uh... sure bro.
Meanwhile Zes's entire conversation can be heard by everyone in the other space shuttle which is being piloted by Manwe. Everyone except Manwe is rather amused by it. No one dares to make a noise as Manwe's anger can be felt in the air.
Khamul: I think he wants to steal your wife.
Little bursts out laughing.
Manwe: Quiet! All of you!
Varda: Its okay dear, many men have found themselves smitten after meeting me.
Manwe (quietly yet angrily): Zes will pay for this...
On Das, Amir has headed back to Loki's room in the infirmary. He's happy to see that she has stopped arguing with Silence, though now she has several new complaints about the doctor.
Loki: This man is a terrible doctor!
Amir: You shouldn't have thrown those pills at him.
Loki: Whatever, that's not even the worst part! I asked for steroids so I could lave this place sooner right. And he says 'steroids would be bad for the baby.'
Amir: What baby?
Loki: That's what I said but he just left.
Amir: Did it occur to you that maybe he was calling you a baby?
Loki (glaring at Amir): No, he is just bad at his job.
Amir: I'll go talk to him for you.
Amir leaves the room to talk to Silence. He finds him looking at some x-rays for an uruk.
Amir (jokingly): Looks like that Uruk has had a bad break.
Silence: Pain and suffering isn't a joke!
Amir: Oh really? Then why did you leave my wife in the state she's in?
Silence: Which one is your wife?
Amir: You know very well which one is my wife. You can't play dumb with me.
Silence: I had given her the medications she needed and she chose to throw them at me. That's her fault, not mine.
Amir: Between you and me, we both know she is a little unstable.
Silence: A little unstable? Shes more unstable than an earthquake!
Amir: That's not for me to judge.
Silence: Fine I'll be back there in a few minutes. I suggest you keep your wife under control next time.
Outside, Miro has just informed Tasha about Pythas looking for her.
Tasha: What do you mean he wants to be my father?
Miro: I mean he wants to replace your current parents.
Tasha: Why would he want to do that?
Miro: Apparently he pulled you out of the lava in Pyramidon when you were just a baby.
Miro looks over his shoulder and sees Pythas approaching rapidly.
Miro (fearfully): Run Tasha! Run!
Miro runs off to delay Pythas. Tasha runs to Baraddur.
Pic is still talking to Romain, the psychiatrist.
Romain: Come on now Pic, there has to be something about you that you can define as being part of your personal identity! Just say the first thing that comes to mind.
Pic: Well... uh...
Romain: Say it!
Pic: Welllll....
Romain: Tell me!
Pic: I... uh....
Romain: Trust me! I'm a psychiatrist!
Pic: I have feelings for Orlock!
Romain: We have made good progress today. That'll be 200 gold.
Pic: What!?
Romain: Your session is up. It has been 66 minutes and 6 seconds. Wait outside while I discuss my findings with Lord Law.
Pic leaves the room and Lord Law enters it.
Lord Law: Well, doctor, is she crazy?
Romain: She would benefit from weekly therapy. She seems to have a crush on a man named Orlock?
Lord Law: Ah, the former Cardinal. Too bad Pythas had him banished to Dorval this week.
Romain: I must forbid Pic from visiting any patient of Silence's. She has too many of her own issues to work out.
