Should I stop locking him up when I go to work?

No, please keep him where he is. ~~Even though I'm starting to miss the little bastard's company..~~

I was talking about the spirit traffic.

You've noticed that too, huh?

It's hard not to because I'm not bringing in any income. I mean, not that I want anyone to get possessed but...I do need to eat, sometimes.

You can come and eat anytime you want. I already told you that.

Heh, that makes me feel like a hobo. ~~Doesn't mean I don't like to.~~

Should I move all your stuff in so you'll stop complaining?

Is that your subtle way of saying you want me to come live with you, Angie?

[Blushes and bites her bottom lip.] Would you?

Do you think...that would be a good idea?

If things are slow... it might be better until you can get back on your feet again. I'd hate for something to happen to you, John.

[Slowly smiles] And I'd hate for anything bad to happen to you, Angela. Much less mooch off of you.

Not mooching when I'm offering it up willingly.

Hmm. [Considers this for a moment. John doesn't like relying on anyone, of course, but he really can't keep this up. Living on the street isn't an option and he didn't exactly want to hurt Angela's feelings. He sighs.]

Fine. If you can come up with someway I can pay you back.

You'll keep Duck company while I'm at work.

I don't just sit, you know. I actually look for trouble...but I suppose the furball can come too. If he can keep his mouth shut long enough.

And that's not what I meant, Angie.
