Okay. I think he's asleep...

[Penny's speaking in a whisper, network device held close. She looks unusually high-strung and--is she wearing a purple pajama top? At this time of day? Yes, she is.]

I need someone who can pick locks.

[She turns the camera. There's a silver cuff around her wrist... attached to a silver chain...attached to another silver cuff that happens to be on the wrist of Peter Vincent. Peter appears to be in a drunken stupor. Penny directs the device back towards her face.]

Okay. This is the first time he's been quiet since I woke up--next to him in his bed! Not that--I mean, of course I wasn't there on purpose, so this has to be a curse, but he keeps saying all of these things and I can't change my clothes because I know he'll look! I'm all for giving people second and third and fourth chances, but this is crazy and I need someone to save me before he wakes up and I... I don't even know. I don't think anyone can hold me responsible for anything I might do.

[Penny glances back over at Peter to make sure he's still out. Her whisper might have risen slightly above a whisper there.]

If you reply to this, please reply quietly, okay? And not with text. My typing's awful with one hand.

[If she's not whispering, he's not going to either.]

Well, reattachment surgery has come a long way... but I really can't say I'd recommend it.

Okay. How do you feel about girls with pirate hooks for hands?

[She misses the part where this implies that his preferences are important.]

You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend!

I don't!

[Wait--what. This is still on, isn't it.]

I mean, it doesn't matter. It's none of your business.

[Totally ignoring her last sentence] Fuckbuddy?

No! What?! No! Ew!

Have you ever had sex? 'Cause you really don't seem to like the idea at all.

Okay, just because I'm not crazy about having sex with you doesn't mean I haven't had sex.

You don't seem too interested in sex with him either.

Stop. Seriously.

Just saying. You might want to think about therapy. I've heard it helps.

So does liquor, of course.

If one of us needs therapy, I think it's you. Rehab, too.

You're certainly charming, aren't you?

I'm an acquired taste.

Well, as long as you're aware of it.

[That was a standard, light, joking tone. After a pause, he proceeds more earnestly.]

Is there any particular reason you're trying to make this as unpleasant for Penny as possible?

It's no picnic for me, either.

Oh, I don't know... I mean, I think you could pull the look off, but... I do think we should try to keep you in one piece.

[He doesn't miss that part. He kind of likes that part.]

Okay. I'll keep my hands, I guess.

Are you cursed today? If you are, please say it's an okay one.

I promise you'll miss the hand a lot longer than the curse will last.

[He pauses a bit. He doesn't want to go into detail right now, over the Network and without any possibility of talking to her alone, but... there's no reason to deny he's cursed at all.]

I am. But it's all right, really. Nothing too awful here.

You're the doctor; I'll take your word for it.

[Talking right now would be bad.]

Okay. If you want to talk to it when I'm not handcuffed to anyone, I'm usually up for that kind of thing.

I think that sounds like an excellent idea. And if you need to vent a little more freely, once you're not attached to anyone? I'm sure I can help you out there, too.

[He thinks she deserves a nice night out, after this, but he'd rather not mention that and start making plans with her current company.]

You're amazing, Wilson. I'll take you up on that.

Well, I don't know about that, but... I'll look forward to it.

Just let me know when the City springs you?

I will.

You know, assuming I'm not serving time for committing a violent crime.

Ah, I'm sure they'd let you off with a slap on the wrist.
