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.

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.

Rehab is for people who want to get sober.

You'd probably be a lot healthier if you didn't drink so much.

My health is just fine, thanks.

If you say so.

[pause]

You know, I've never met a drunk who was actually happy.

How many drunks does a goody-two-shoes like you meet?

That's so not relevant.

If you're going to be making broad generalizations about a vast group of people, then yes, how many you know is relevant.

I don't know, okay? Not to reinforce stereotypes, but there're more than a couple hanging out in L.A.'s homeless shelters.

Of course they're unhappy! They're homeless!

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.

No, I don't imagine it is. Though, I'm sure it would be much less difficult on both of you if you didn't try to provoke her quite as much as you seem to be.

I'm just being me.
