"Have I ever told you how gorgeous you are?"

Gs was talking to a wax statue of herself. "Your hair, your lips, your eyes-" she takes one of its eyes out. "A little lopsided..." she puts it back in, smiling. "There."

She looks around her apartment. "And now that I've been immortalized in wax, I have conquered all artistic media!"

"Come on, my precious reflection, SMILE!" she says, making the statue smile.

She was interrupted by some thunking outside her window.

She scowls, her statue doing the same.

"Hike sam, hike!" Max says as he carries a heavy rock. Sam tries to blow pieces across a chess board as Max drops the rock on a manhole cover, causing it to split in half. "You just lost three points!" He climbs up a nearby lamppost. "One! Two! Five!" When he gets to the top, he gets a bubble wand and blows a bubble in the shape of a g7. "G7!" Max says. "G7?" Sam says, dropping the chessboard. "King me! King me!" he says, running into the post and landing on the ground. Max tosses the bubble stuff to him. He sits up, smiling "I lose!" "But it's not tuesday sam." Max says. "hot sauce!" Sam says, disappointed.

"HEY!" gs yells, sticking her head out the window. "What are you invertebrates doing!?"

Sam and Max look at each other, then back to her. "We don't know."

Gs smiles. "Hey Sam, do you know what time it is?" "oh yeah, gs, it's-" he tries to look at his watch, accidentally spilling bubble soap on his tie.

"Time to find some other game to play!" gs says, laughing and going back inside.

Inside her apartment, she puts some music on and fills up her shell shaped bathtub, getting into her bathing suit and getting in, putting her favorite ocean scented bubble bath in.

Max walks around. "Now what?" Sam gets up. "We could toss that bottle back and forth." he says, pointing to an empty beer bottle on the ground. Max nods. "Okay!" he picks it up and tosses it to Sam, who catches it, and accidentally tosses it so far that it accidentally goes into g's open window. "I got it, I got it i got it!" Max says, going inside.

It hits the wax statue in the head, which falls over with a thud.

Gs hears the thud from the bathroom, but dismisses it as nothing and goes back to her bath.

Sam and max open gs's door. "Remember sam, finder's keepers!" sam spots it. "There it is!" He kneels by it, prying it out of the statue's head. "Bonus points!" He gets up and starts to leave, but Max gets worried when he sees the statue. "Sam, wait! I think somethings wrong with gs!"

He kneels by the statue, examining it. "She looks unconscious!"

Sam kneels too. "Don't worry!" He turns the statue so it's facing upward. "I know how to do this!" He takes a deep breath and tries to give the statue CPR, but it of course doesn't work and he ends up feeling faint and falling forward onto it, crushing its head.

Max helps him up. "Get off her, sam!" Sam smiles. "What are you worried about?" they look down. "She looks better already!"

The statue's head was completely flattened due to Sam's weight.

Max feels it. "But she still feels cold!" Sam stands the thing up and moves it near a window. "Well, let's put her in the warm." Max looks worried. "You think she'll be ok?" Sam pats him. "You know max, you worry too much. The SAM is here, and I know a lot about head injuries, believe-" he spaces out for a second until max snaps his fingers. "me."

They don't notice the statue's wax melting in the sunlight behind them.

Sam looks down. "Hey what's that on your foot?" max looks too. "I dunno, but it kinda looks like-"
