Man: "Replica. Ah, you're better off picking up at Navy Pier for pocket change" Ryan hears as she enters a shop "Okay? Heh, yeah, you're very welcome." he scoffs, nodding in greeting at Ryan who steps up to the counter
Ryan: "Hi. I'm Ryan Casey. I called the other day. I'm with the fire department."
Man: "Ryan Casey" he smiles, reaching down to grab hold of a box "If you don't mind me saying, this one took some shoe leather."
Ryan: "I hope it wasn't too much trouble."
Man: "Are you kidding? It's just the kind of challenge I live for." he hums, watching as Ryan opens the small box a smile coming over her face
Ryan: "It's perfect."
Man: "A gift?"
Ryan: "For my husband. Well, soon-to-be husband. Today's a big day for him. I wanna make sure it's one he'll remember."

Sitting at the kitchen counter, Kelly flips through a newspaper, perking up when hearing footsteps coming down the hall
Man: "Morning." he greets, stopping Kelly in his tracks for a moment as he takes a sip of his coffee
Kelly: "Morning" he nods, watching as the man exits the apartment, shaking his head in amusement as Arya enters the room "New friend of yours?"
Arya: "Oh, him? Nah, we go way back."
Kelly: "Hmm?"
Arya: "Oh, yeah. All the way to Molly's." she hums, giving him a teasing smirk as he chuckles
Kelly: "You know, it might be a good idea to quiet down the screaming. Makes your performance seem way more fake."
Arya: "You're one to talk" she scoffs "What with all the screaming banshees you've brought home?"
Kelly: "At least their screaming is real."
Arya: "You sure about that? Because I have heard some award-worthy performances coming out of your room."
Kelly: "Even you don't believe that." he chuckles, picking back up the newspaper as a knock at the door sounds
Arya: "You know, I might've been faking it, but he wasn't." she smirks, whispering in his ear as she moves to answer the door
Theo: "You're not dressed."
Arya: "I'm semi-dressed."
Theo: "Well could you be fully dressed. We gotta go." he snips, giving her an annoyed look
Arya: "Guess we don't have to ask which side of the bed you woke up on." she mutters, moving to pull her shirt over her tank top
Kelly: "Hey, man. Want some coffee?"
Theo: "I'm good. Just wanna get to work. Chop, chop." he grits, exiting the apartment
Arya: "You know, if you're gonna offer to give me a ride, you might wanna try doing it with a less crappy attitude." she calls after him, exchanging a look with Kelly as she shuts the door

Matt: "I didn't realize you were taking the morning off."
Ryan: "Yeah, I had to run a few errands before the promotion ceremony. I'm at the supermarket shopping for the party." she hums, biting away a smile
Matt: "What's your ETA? Ceremony's at 2:00."
Ryan: "Take it everybody's already driving you crazy."
Matt: "Like you wouldn't believe" he huffs, making her chuckle "They tend to stay at bay when my pitbull of a fiancee is around."
