For crying out loud, Bee! I was kidding about Sam. Do you really think I would do that?
Were you kidding about Lochlan? Or Caleb for that matter?
Hey, don't even-I LOVE Lochlan. It isn't the same. And I thought you were always up for Caleb's invitations. It didn't seem like it was hurting anyone.
Except Lochlan. Oh, and me. Don't forget me.
Who could? It's not likely.
Oh, I can be forgotten-
Bridget! That's not what I mean. I mean you're the reason we're here. You're the nucleus of this house. When you're gone I think every single person here is lost.
You mean every lost person here is single.
No, I don't and don't do that.
Do what?
Win this with your words.
Okay. I'll use bald logic then.
I meant no harm.
But you caused some anyway. Don't you see that?
I wanted to take control back from Loch. I'll admit it. He was loving being the main focus. I needed something back.
So you tried to give me to Sam?
No. I just said that to cause shit.
And Matt agreed with you!
Matt still doesn't really understand the magnitude of Bridget as a force of human nature.
Sure he does, Ben.
Then why did he agree to it?
Because Sam is clingy. Like me. No one fucking likes that. It's nice to get a break, isn't it?
You don't miss much.
I see everything and can fix little.
You are little and can fix everything.
How?
By sticking to your guns, Bumble One.
Then stop causing trouble, Capital B. That's my job.
True.
Nice, Ben.
I'm sorry, Baby.
What would you have done if I had been all for it and then left you both to go live happily ever after down the hall with the reverend and the scientist?
I would be fucking dumbstruck and forever aghast at my own stupidity and forever missing you. Unless..
Unless what?
Unless they gave me latitude for cuddles with you.
Cuddles?
I mean x-rated fuckage, of course. That's the singular definition of cuddles.
So you did try to farm me out to Sam!
No, with him cuddles is just that. Cuddles. Cuddling. Side by each. Fully clothed.
Tucker, you're a piece of work.
I'm trying to make everyone here happy. Jesus. Sam is miserable. I'm miserable. You seem to be the only bright spot in anything. Nucleus. The center of the universe. This is what I'm trying to say. And at the end of the day I'd rather see you love everyone a little than love one with everything.
Does Loch represent that much of a threat to you?
Possibly.
Then we need to sort this out. You can't love someone wholeheartedly if you're worried about them taking everything you've got.
I can't fix this, Bridget. I told you that. Why do you think things have been so tough lately. I see you together and it hurts and I know its going to hurt worse before it gets better. Everyone says it's inevitable.
They also said Cole was a standup guy and Caleb was never a threat. What does that tell you?
That...they're blind as fuck. Oblivious.
Right. So don't listen to them because they don't know me.
That's the problem, though. They do.
Not as well as you seem to think. Why do you think they're still so surprised that you're right here, beside me? Because they are blind as fuck. Oblivious.
Oh. now I understand when you say I give you backhanded compliments. You're making me feel better by insulting me.
Is it working?
I think so, yes.
Okay, so fuck off with the lax permissions.
I'm your husband, not your keeper. I'm not going to put down rules.
That's fine but don't give me away, either.
But I'm such a lucky guy. I want the world to see.
So film it or start a webcam or something.
Really? I can do that?
NO. Jesus, Ben.
