(Ben sighs realizing he doesn't have a chance of getting through to Y/n so he moved on to Klaus.) 

Ben: All right, all right, Klaus. Come on, Klaus. My brother, it's not too lare for you to get in on this action. 

Klaus: I told you. It's not gonna happen. 

Five: Why not? Maybe with your powers back,  you won't have to keep living life like a human sippy cup. 

(Y/n nudged him in the side. And like all the other times she did it, it had the same message. Shut up and be nice. It was more of a warning than a message. Y/n loved Five, more than anything but she was also very protective of her siblings and was not afraid to call Five out when he was psuhing it or being a dick.) 

Klaus: It's a slippery slope. All right? 

Five: Into what? 

Klaus: Powers, ghosts, drugs, sex, oblivion. It's one big spicy gumbo of bad

Y/n: Never heard it explained that way, but it makes sense. 

Klaus: I'm not going back to that old Klaus. I like this Klaus. Hey, he collects coupons. He's frugal, respectable, reliable and most importantly he's a Klaus that Claire likes and trusts and looks up to. 

(Ben clunches his stomach.) 

Lila: Guys, Ben doesn't look so hot. 

(He leans over quickly and throws up on the floor. Luther goes to help him up.) 

Luther: Come on. 

Ben: It's okay. I just need to lie down.

(Diego drags bim by his hair to the couch and Klaus walks behind them, holding up his tentacles.)

Klaus: Get him on this. Lay him down. 

(Ben starts seizing and his mouth starts foaming and everyone takes a step back as Y/n stands up, stepping towards the rest.) 

Luther: Whoa! What do we do? Call 911? 

(Ben stops seizing and roles over.)

Ben: No,no,no! No cops!

Y/n: Geez Ben, How much Marigold did you take?

Ben: Just a shot! 

Y/n: Did you take more then everyone? 

Ben: Maybe... 

Y/n: Shit Ben. 

Klaus: What? Is he like over dosing on marigold? 

Y/n: He probably took more than his body was used to or can handle. 

Ben: Does that mean it could kill me?

Y/n: No, but it does mean you are a dumbass.
