Restart: Season 2

Re-Restart

===The House===
===Chase===
I came home from the worst movie production ever. Cancelled in 2 months, crappy co-stars, horrible studio...
Oh! You're calling me a diva? You weren't there! You wouldn't know!

Oh my God. It is so good to be walking back into the house I've called home for the last year, and see Conner, Justin, the kids... And some woman on the couch.
I can only see the back of her head, but I am pretty sure I do not know her.
Me: "Excuse me, ma'am?"
Justin: "Geez, you skip a few hair cuts, and suddenly you're 'ma'am!'"
Conner walked in from the kitchen
Connor: "Hey, look who's back! Sorry 'bout the movie."
Me: "Yeah, the direc- okay, seriously, the hair, explain."
Conner: "His barber retired, and he is too stubborn to try a new one."
Justin: "Hey, Quinten always got it right."
Chase: "I can cut your hair if you want. I had to do a wardrobe unit at acting school, and I'm pretty good."
Conner: "Come on, honey."
Justin: "(Sigh) Fine. Saturday after breakfast. But please, don't let the kids in the room. They will scream, and make you shave down to my scalp."

===Danny===
Chase: "I can't believe production was cancelled! It was a good movie!"
Chase was back. I don't know him very well, but he seems kind of crabby. He has been complaining to the group since he came back.
Chase: "Why do you think it was cancelled?"
Me: "Well..."
Angie: "DON'T DO IT!"
Conner: "IT'S A TRAP!"
Chase: "Whoa, guys! I'm not a diva! I can handle costructive critisism."
Danny: "Well, I don't think it's your fault at all. Maybe it was the movie. What exactly was the plot?"
Chase: "Here, take a look at the script. The summary is on the first page."
I read the summary.
Me: "Wow. That's..."
Angie: "...awful."
Justin: "Why did you accept this job?"
Chase: "Because I'm tired of hearing people call me a wash-up!"
Me: "Who's calling you a wash-up?"
Chase: "Magazines, newspapers, tabloids, the internet..."
Me: "I opened the floodgates, haven't I?"
Kate walked in.
Angie: "Kate! You're finally back! How was..."
Kate: "[Bleep] my life. My team had to work in a local law firm, which shares a building with an experimental restaurant, a roller rink, and what I assume was a fart factory. We had to stay in a BnB next door to a potato farm..."
Conner: "That doesn't seem that bad."
Kate: "They also raise roosters."
Conner: "Ah."
Kate: "...and even though my legal team was smarter, and our client had professional reasoning, that yokel of a plaintiff won the case!"
She looked at Chase.
Kate: "Hello, wash-up. Sorry about your B Movie."
Chase: "Welcome home, ambulance chaser."
Wow. It's nice to be back in the group.

===Saturday Morning, 10 AM===
===The House===
===Justin===
The haircut is finished.
Chase: "Well, what do you think?"
Me: "Holy crap! I'm hot!"
Chase: "Here, if you want, I can find some... Oh my God."
I turned my head. Oh God, no!
Chase: "Justin? Explain."
Me: "All right. Fine. That is my... Secret... Cigarette stash."
Chase: "Oh my God! What hell is the matter with you? You're a [CENSORED] doctor! You know better!"
Me: "I know, I know! But I started a year ago when I was delirious from the flu, and I got hooked!"
Chase: "Smoking?! SMOKING?!"
Conner: "Hey, what's going... JUSTIN! You said you quit!"
Justin: "I'm trying, but it's so hard!"
Conner: "Then I have an idea. If you quit smoking, I will quit... Drinking."
Justin: "Really?"
Conner: "I may have the occasional wine or champange, but only like twice a year, and no more. But I will only do that if you quit smoking."
Chase: "...and I'll quit dirty magazines."
Justin: "Really?"
Chase: "Hey, we live together. We should quit our addictions together."
Conner: "I think we have an agreement."
Justin: "Starting right now, we will never look back at our filthy addictions."
