Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Robbie Chronicles Volume 2

Season 2 - Episode 6: Zack's so Called Life

(Today's adventure begins in Zack's bedroom one early weekday morning. All dressed and ready for school, Zack realizes he's got some extra time to kill before the bus arrives. Lacking in any close friends nearby, he pulls out an old, flimsy spiral notebook and after reading a few brief entries to himself, decides it's time for an update.)

"Dear journal,

Hey, it's the Zack-man again. I know I haven't really been keeping you up to date, but I promise that's gonna change. It's just that with midterms and being a ranger, I've been kept busy for the most part, but since we got back our career aptitude tests a couple weeks ago, all my free time has been dedicated to goodwill missions for... get this, the United Nations! That's awesome, right? Jason, Trini and I have been doing great things like holding canned food drives for third world countries and building relations between the United States and some of those countries through sponsorship programs.

I love it all, don't get me wrong, and I love spending time with my bro Jason and my home girl Trini, who lately I've been seeing less and less of, but it's really making the midterms part a heck of a lot harder.

It also doesn't help that my science partner, Tommy, has been acting all mopey since he realized his powers are going kaput. He's basically been blowing me off to spend time with Kim."

(As Zack writes from his bedroom, Kim and Tommy spend some time in her bedroom cuddling one another.)

Tommy: (sighs) I just can't believe I'm not gonna be able to enjoy spending time with you like this anymore.

Kimberly: Sweetie, you're losing your powers, not dying.

Tommy: I know, but still... and I'm sure the guys will still hang with me and all, but I just won't really feel like part of the gang anymore.

Kimberly: Just try not to think about it so much. Try to think positive thoughts. (Gasps) Like for instance, can you believe that by tomorrow, it'll be a year since we met?

Tommy: Yeah! Actually it seems like just yesterday I tried to kill you.

Kimberly: Stockholm can eat his heart out.

Tommy: Yeah, wait... who's Stockholm? Is that another guy?

Kimberly: No Tommy. Look, never mind that. I just want to do something special for our anniversary.

(Tommy reaches into his pants pocket to pull out two small tickets to Kim's bemusement.)

Tommy: I got you covered. I've got two concert tickets; front row!

(Kim gasps delightedly while reading the tickets in front of her.)

Kimberly: Oh my God, Tommy you're the best boyfriend ever. And how did you know I love Pink? Oh you know me and my tastes so well. I had no idea her last name was Floyd though.

Tommy: I just thought it'd get our mind off things.

Kimberly: Aw, thank you. This just makes me feel totally awful though for not getting you anything. It's just that, you know, with my mom still struggling and all...

Tommy: Kim, I don't care if you get me anything or not, it'd be nice just to spend time with you.

Kimberly: Even after a whole year you're still not sick of me? I guess I'll just have to try harder.

Tommy: (laughs) Maybe. What would you have gotten me if you had the chance though?

(Kim thinks for a bit while staring blankly at the tickets in her hand.)

Kimberly: ...I don't know. I mean I might still get you something. But I want it to be something special. Something you and I can both share and enjoy.

(An idea suddenly pops into her head. She turns her head to stare longingly into her boyfriend's eyes.)

Kimberly: Something I've never given you before. But something I've been thinking about for a long, long time.

Tommy: (Laughs nervously) Oh... A-are you like, thinking what I'm thinking?

Kimberly: I am.

(Kim finally breaks her glance to get up out of bed and rush to her dresser. She pulls open a drawer and excitedly sifts through it before finding what she's looking for.)

Tommy: Kim, I've got to be honest... I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Kimberly: Me too! I've been wanting to do this with you forever.

Tommy: What are you looking for? Oh I see, you wanna be smart about this, I'm totally with you.

(She grabs what she needs and turns around, still beaming.)

Kimberly: Definitely, that's why I'm gonna apply foundation before I add on blush!

Tommy: Oh... so... you're gonna give me a makeover?

Kimberly: Yeah.

Tommy: Okay...

Kimberly: Why is your shirt off?

"Still, if anyone's gonna cheer Tommy up its Kim; those two are perfect for each other. Nothing like the holy abomination that is Trini and Robbie. Those two shouldn't be in the same galaxy together much less in a relationship. Don't get me wrong, Robbie's a cool dude and all, but to be honest, she can do better."

(In an outdoor restaurant somewhere near school, Robbie and Trini appear to be enjoying breakfast together.)

"I actually might be a little harsh on Robbie. I like him, and I can see he's trying to better himself, so I can appreciate that. He's even got a part time job now in a local coffee shop so he can take her out more. He's a real working stiff now."

Robbie: I'm quitting my job.

Trini: Why? It can't be that bad, Robbie.

Robbie: I'm telling you, it's terrible. The "veteran" employees treat me like garbage, as if I offend them for being new. I constantly go home smelling like spoiled milk and the customers are rude and unappreciative of the actual work that I do.

Trini: Aren't you just pushing buttons though?

Robbie: A customer told me that last night, and I made sure I pushed the decaf button just for her.

Trini: I see. Well, just give it a chance, it'll get better.

Robbie: I don't know. One week in and my throat actually hurts from groaning so much.

(Robbie notices that Trini blankly staring away, perhaps not as interested in his self-indulgence as she usually is. This raises an internal alarm in him.)

Robbie: Trini, is something wrong?

Trini: Huh? No, nothing, I'm just tired. I've been trying to cram in midterm work while doing my global outreach work for the Swiss program. Not to mention being a ranger... I got no sleep last night.

Robbie: You didn't have breakfast with me if you didn't want to.

Trini: But you wanted to see me, and I know I've been a bit scarce lately.

Robbie: Thanks, but you really didn't need to martyr yourself. I want you rested for your birthday tomorrow, anyway.

Trini: Oh! That's right, my birthday is tomorrow. Man, I've got so much stuff to do, I won't even enjoy it.

Robbie: Trini, you gotta give yourself a break, you're killing yourself here.

Trini: I know, but this isn't something I can just walk away from. This is something that I truly want to do, and I've got to seize this opportunity.

(Robbie lets out a frustrated sigh, as if he's already had this talk with her before and gotten nowhere.)

Robbie: Well, at least let me pay for breakfast. You did force yourself up for me, it's the least I could do.

Trini: Uhm...Robbie you don't need to pay for anything.

Robbie: I insist.

Trini: No, I mean we're not seated at a restaurant. You've just placed a picnic table next to the restaurant.

(The camera pans out from their faces to confirm that they're actually seated three feet away from the guard rail separating them from the restaurant.)

Robbie: I was wondering where the waitress was.

Trini: Come on, we'll just go. You can buy me a bagel along the way.

"Still, insult to God or not, they're still miles better than anything I've ever been able to muster up. And for what it's worth, she's still nuts about him and he still worships the ground she walks on. Kim thinks it's cause they don't have pretty girls in the ghetto."

(Meanwhile in Billy's garage, he and Marge hover over a backless computer while carefully re-wiring.)

"Still the ranger life can ruin any decent relationship. Kind of like how my other friend Billy's been inexplicably drifting away from his girlfriend who looks like one of the Sex and the City girls; and not the one that looks like a horse, the pretty one!"

Margie: I must say, excellent progress thus far. Now all that remains for us to leverage the multidisciplinary convergence so we may optimize the performance of this educational device.

"If only I could ever understand a word she says."

Billy: Mhm.

Marge: You must be as excited as I for the academic potential this may bring to the world?

Billy: (shrugs) ...as long as we get an A.

Marge: "Get an A?" Those are preposterously low expectations for such a revolutionary new technology! Why with a few test runs we can reshape the industry with a brand new standard.

Billy: It's just a computer app Marge, we're not solving world hunger.

(The biting tone in Billy's reply raises an eyebrow from his girlfriend.)

Marge: ...iiis everything alright down there?

Billy: Well on my end, I just need to fuse the audio-visual output and then give it a few...

Margie: No, I mean...

Billy: (sighs) I know what you mean Marge.

Margie: Have I done something to offend you? Please, just let me know, I can fix it.

(Billy stands up and takes his goggles off that that he may face her, eye to eye.)

Billy: No Margie, you've done absolutely nothing wrong. In fact, you've been wonderful. The past few months with you have been quite fulfilling. It's just me. I don't know, I guess lately I've just been swamped with school and stuff. My heads just in another place.

Marge: Look, you don't have to give me a roundabout answer. If things aren't working out between you and you'd like to end it, just say so.

Billy: I don't think that's something I want Margie. I mean I do still really like you.

Margie: And I really like you. You and I share so much in common, I'd hate to ruin that.

Billy: Look, let me make it up to you. Tomorrow we'll have a picnic in the park. We'll have it down by the pond. Like on our first date!

Marge: You mean the first date that you stood me up on?

Billy: Precisely!

(Wanting to believe that everything is alright, Marge cracks a smile and leans in for a hug.)

Margie: That'd be really sweet of you Billy. I knew you still cared!

(Billy breathes a sigh of relief. However just outside of Jason's place, the team leader steps out onto his front yard and into his own set of girl problems.)

"I guess Jason and I are the only smart ones out of the bunch that remain single. We've both got our global outreach stuff to worry about and on top of all that, he's the leader of the Power Rangers. We don't have time to deal with crazy women."


Sammy: Hai!!!!

Jason: Oh my god!! Sammy, holy cow... you just gave me a heart attack!

Sammy: Should I give you mouth to mouth?

Jason: What, no! What are you doing here? H-how long have you been standing outside my door?

Sammy: Since your mom stopped cleaning your windows.

Jason: What's that supposed to mean?

Sammy: It's a joke silly! Lighten up! I'm just here cause I'd thought you'd like some company. Maybe a new lab partner?

Jason: We don't take the same class Sammy, you're not even in the same grade as me.

Sammy: Well I figured you'd like some help anyway. I mean, since Katie dropped you as your partner and all.

Jason: Katie didn't drop me, some jerk took photos of her in the girl's locker room and threw them off the balcony. It totally humiliated her.

Sammy: Sure taught her a lesson.

Jason: What lesson? She had to transfer schools! (Shakes his head) Never mind. Look Sammy, we can hang later. Right now and probably till the end of midterms, I'm gonna be swamped. Thanks for volunteering though, but I'm running late to school.

Sammy: But I... I go to the same school as you.

(Jason ignores Sammy's last comment and leaves her in the dust. Now in school, Zack stands infront of his locker finishing his journal entry.)

"The juggling of what I've already got is hard as it is. And Zedd's new monsters sure ain't making it easier. I'm doing great in school, but I'm stressed almost constantly. A girl just isn't a priority righ--"

(Just then, Hannah M. Tannah, the pretty, rich girl and former friend of Kimberly passes by with her friends, drawing Zack away from his pen and whatever he's writing like paper clip to a magnet.)

Zack: Hannah! Hey! Wh-what's popping?


Hannah: I'm sorry, do I know you?

Zack: It's me, Zack! You and I have English together? I sit right behind you.

(Hannah still doesn't look to have a clue as to who he is.)

Zack: I'm the one who's been passing you those notes?

Hannah: Oh yeah! "Once you go Zack, you never go back." Is that you?

Zack: (laughs) Yeah, that's me!

Hannah: What did you say your name was again?

Zack: Um, I'm Zack. But hey listen, I just wanted to see if you wanted to grab a shake after class? No pressure, just to get to know you better.

Hannah: I'm not interested Zack, so you can stop. But I'll be sure to give you a call if I ever want to make my daddy furious.

Zack: Ouch. That was vaguely racist.

Hannah: Yeah. It was.

(Hannah pushes through Zack without saying much else. Deflated, Zack returns to his journal.)

"A girl just isn't a priority right now. My grades thanks me because of it; I'm doing better than pretty much all of my friends. That in itself has cause a few problems..."

Kimberly: Yoo-hoo, Zacky!

(Zack groans at the sight of Kim and Tommy approaching him from his peripherals.)

Tommy: Hey Zack-man! What going on bro? How's the project going?

Zack: (mutters) Wouldn't you like to know...?

Tommy: Huh?

Zack: It's going fine I guess. Though it'd be a lot better if I weren't the only one doing the work.

Tommy: Don't worry man, you can count on me. You know I've been going through some stuff lately.


Zack: Everyone's going through stuff Tommy, eventually that stops being an excuse. And please tell me why you have lipstick smeared all over your face?

Tommy: Oh... Kim and I were just kissing.

Zack: She's not even wearing the same color as you.

Tommy: Uh...

Zack: Look dude, I don't care. Most of the work for the project is done anyway. I guess you're off the hook.

Tommy: Zack, man I'm sorry. Look, if you want the truth, Kim's just been cheering me up lately. You know with my powers failing me, it's... it's really gotten in my head. It's made me lose focus on things, you understand?

(Unfortunately for Zack, he does understand.)

Zack: ...fine. Whatever. Just present it in class and we're even.

Tommy: Thanks bro, I'll make it up to you some other way too. I swear on everything I love...

Zack: Take it easy. We wouldn't want your mascara to run, would we?

(Meanwhile on the moon, Lord Zedd appears to be listening in.)

Lord Zedd: So, poor Tommy's down in the dumps because he's losing his powers? Well, I can't help but feel partially responsible for that. No matter, I'll just have to make it up to him... I swear on everything I love that I shall finish him off for good, thus putting the green ranger out of his misery! It'll be a happy anniversary indeed, hahaha!!!

(The rest of the school day passes by without incident. After the final bell though, Zack locks himself in his room with a mirror and his journal in front of him.)

"I didn't mean to blow up on Tommy the way I did. I know he's going through a real rough time and I just got frustrated. But ever since Lord Zedd took Rita's spot, he's been gunning for him almost exclusively. None of his plans have actually succeeded in taking away his powers, but with each try he gets closer and closer. It's really bugging the guy, and all of us; mostly cause there's not a thing we can do about it.

Still, ranger stuff aside, he's got to handle his business, cause he's slipping pretty much everywhere else because of it. His grades have slipped and he's pretty much attached to Kim. I love the guy and all, but I'm not about to fail science for him. Anyway, Tommy telling me he'd make it up to me gave me a brilliant idea."

(Zack grabs a pair of scissors and begins inspecting the hair under his nose. He turns his head upwards, cuing a flashback to earlier this morning in English class. Zack is in his seat staring admirably at a girl entering the classroom.)

"See, I haven't been totally honest. There's this girl that I like. Her name is Hannah, Mo Tannah. She's the prettiest, most popular girl in the school and captain of the cheerleading squad."

(Hannah walks into class and in what appears to be Zack's own imagination, a mysterious breeze hits her; blowing her hair in an almost seductive fashion.)

"Flowing locks of golden hair, perfect skin and legs to die for. Normally she'd never go for a guy like me. I've tried endlessly to get her attention. But now I've got an ace up my sleeve: Kimberly. Kim used to be friends with Hannah and her crew back when she was an obnoxious mall rat too. Kim can't stand any of them anymore, but Hannah doesn't know that. If I can set up a double date between Hannah, me, Tommy and Kim. I should be solid. And like the old saying goes, once you go Zack, you never go ba--"

Zack: ...OUCH!!!!

(Zack cuts himself while trying to trim the nose under his hair and simultaneously writing. He drops the pen and continues to gussy himself up. Less than an hour later, the rangers sans Zack and Trini meet up at the Juice Bar, Hannah and her crew are conspicuously present as well.)


Hannah: I don't know where my boyfriend got off trying to control me like that. So I just told him to get bent.

Hillary: Ugh, what a jerk!

Hannah: I know. Last time I date a married man.

(Hannah's presence doesn't seem to be a concern for the others though, who appear lost in their own problems.)

Jason: That sounds tough Billy, I hope you guys can sort things out.

Billy: Me too. She does have valid concerns after all. I have been subconsciously distancing myself from her. Perhaps this picnic will help reignite the spark.

Robbie: Hey just be happy your girl wants to spend time with you. Lately scheduling time with Trini is like scheduling a doctor's appointment which sort of just, kills the fun, you know? I feel like a hindrance to her these days.

Kimberly: I'm glad you've finally caught up to the rest of the world on that.

Jason: Well have you perhaps considered that maybe she's just overwhelmed? She's got a lot going on, things she isn't easily going to give up, and you kind of have to support her on that.

Robbie: Oh so I'm the expendable one?

Tommy: Try not to think of it that way man. She clearly still cares about you, though lord knows why.

Robbie: What is that supposed to mean?

Tommy: (hesitantly) I mean, you can be a bit self-centered sometimes.

Kimberly: Yeah, I mean, I know you want to spend time with her and all, and talk about all that's going on in your life, but maybe you should do something for her. Show her you're thinking about her instead of expecting her to think of you all the time.

Robbie: Whatever, as soon as this silly global outreach thing ends we should be able to spend more time together so I shouldn't worry just yet.

Jason: And if it doesn't end?

(Robbie didn't seem to consider that possibility before just now. However, before he could say anything Zack steps in wearing a fancy black vest over a purple button up and black pants.)

Jason: Whoa! Zack-man, looking sharp!

Tommy: (Laughs) Yeah, but I think the operas on the other side of town.

(Zack completely tunes his friends out and keeps his eyes locked on Hannah's table.)

Kimberly: Uh, Zack?

(Hannah and her friends turn to face him as if they are expecting him.)

Hannah: (sharply) It's about time you showed up.

Billy: Wait, what's going on?

Hannah: Do you have any idea how long you kept me waiting in this dump? The fat waiter spits when he talks, and he doesn't stop talking!

Lindsay: And when he brought us our drinks, I felt his boob on my shoulder.

Zack: I-I'm really sorry girls; I just got caught up in some stuff. I didn't know you'd bring your friends here.

(Zack's voice seems noticeably shaky, though it only makes Hannah more vicious.)

Hannah: Some "stuff?" Is that the best you can do?

Robbie: Is he making a pass at Hannah?

Kimberly: Ugh, this is gonna be ugly.

Jason: You guys we gotta do something. She's gonna tear him apart.

Robbie: You're right. I'll go get some popcorn.

Zack: Well, I was getting you these...

(Zack reaches around his back and pulls out a modestly sized bouquet of flowers. He extends his arm out for her to accept them, but she just looks at him looking completely dumbfounded. Before it gets too awkward he lays them down in front of her.)

Hannah: Oh...

(Her hesitation alone causes her friends, Lindsay and Hillary to start giggling; they can already sense how the brazen cheerleader is going to reply and so can Zack. He decides to dive right in before she can say a word.)

Zack: (Deep breath) Hannah, I think you're really cute and I would really love it if you'd let me take you out.

(His words come out forced and rehearsed, though bold nonetheless.)

Zack: If not, then I understand. We can still be friends, and I there won't be problems in class.

Hannah: We have class together?

Zack: English. I sit right behind you.

Hannah: Oh... right.

Zack: Kimberly, my friend Kimberly over there... (He turns to point at her) She knows you and said we'd probably connect really well.

Hannah: (raises eyebrow) She did?

Kimberly: (raises eyebrow) I did?

Zack: Yeah, she and Tommy would even like to double date with us tomorrow night so you two can catch up and all. So what do you say?

Tommy: What's he doing? I never agreed to any of this.

Hannah: Let me get this straight, you make me come all the way over here from the Upper East side to this god forsaken dump, wearing a suit that looks someone died in it and bringing me flowers that still has the Sears price tag on it and you expect me to just fall all over you?

Zack: If you say yes, my dad said he's let me drive his Rolls Royce.

Hannah: It's a date!

(She leaps up from her seat and gives Zack peck on the cheek, stunning everyone in the room.)

Hannah: Let's go girls, looks like we have a date to get ready for! Pick me up no later than six tomorrow. And I expect to be fed. A lady never gets past second base on an empty stomach.

Zack: Y-you got it! I'll see you then!

Hannah: Bye, bye Jack. Bye Jack's friends. Bye Kimmy, We've got some major catching up to do!

Kimberly: Sure... It's Zack, by the way.

(But Hannah ignores Kim and continues her way out of the Juice Bar with her friends, leaving it instantly quieter in their absence.)

Kimberly: Zack, do you mind telling us what on Earth you're thinking?

Jason: Hannah's bad news bro.

Tommy: You're only asking to get your heart broken.

Zack: I know; that's why I need your help Tommy.

Tommy: You've got to be out of your mind if you think I'm gonna help you after this stunt you just pulled.

Zack: Come on man, be a friend. Remember you said you owed me one. It would be really unfortunate if Ms. Appleby were to find out just how much you contributed to the project.

Tommy: Wonderful. So you're blackmailing me now into going on a date with you and Ms. prissy pants? That'll make me really want to help you.

Kimberly: Yeah, this is not how I want to spend my anniversary Zack. I'm sorry.

Zack: Look, the only reason I want you and Kim to help me is because you two are like, the most perfect couple I've ever encountered. You guys are like PB & J, or fried chicken and gravy.

Tommy: Wow, that's vaguely racist.

Zack: I just figured that with Kim being an old friend of Hannah's she'd act like a buffer between her and I while I get to know her more. And I'd get to model what you guys are doing on her.

(Flattered, Kim and Tommy show signs of relenting.)

Kimberly: Well, I guess that plan isn't totally illogical.

Zack: I'll even pay for everything, just come out with us. I know myself. I'm just gonna get nervous and freeze up. I pretty much do nothing more than stare at the back of her head.

Robbie: So do her other boyfriends.

Tommy: Fine. I'll do it. But we're even after this. I don't wanna hear about Appleby anymore.

Zack: Even Steven!

(Zack exhales, then reaches out to slap a reluctant Tommy friend five. Watching all this unfold and thinking of a way to turn this night against them is Lord Zedd, who is still on his balcony.)


Lord Zedd: Ah, why isn't this perfect.

Squatt: Not really. This looks like a Zack episode.

Baboo: Yeah, I wonder what else is on.

Lord Zedd: Not that you imbeciles, the green ranger will be separated from most of his friends while on this double date. This will be the perfect opportunity to right Rita's biggest wrong.

Goldar: Ah yes, my lord!

(Zedd grimaces at the sound of Goldar's voice.)

Lord Zedd: Speaking of Rita's wrongs...

Goldar: ...and in the meanwhile you can send me down to distract the others. A perfect plan if I do say so myself your evilness!

Lord Zedd: Ha! To think I would entrust you with anything other than menial tasks is simply laughable. You are nothing more than a glorified house boy.

Goldar: Please my lord, I beg of you, give me a shot at them. I will not disappoint you. I am a world class warrior and worthy of destroying those little power brats. I have even been by your side since the very beginning.

Lord Zedd: You think your worthless cheerleading means a thing to me? You are hardly worthy of changing Squatt's diapers or cleaning the sacred ground I walk on.

Squatt: ...which if I do it correctly, can become the same task.

Lord Zedd: However as a show of good will, I'll give you this one shot, one shot! You are simply to keep the others distracted while I kidnap Tommy and drain his powers. Is this too complicated for you?

Goldar: Of course not master, I will not disappoint you. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

(Goldar bows loyally at his master's feet, but Zedd doesn't even give him the time of day and turns back to the balcony to face Earth.)

Lord Zedd: Yes, now all that's left is to decide on what to do with Tommy.

(Finster calmly steps in from the other room, with a wide, opportunistic grin.)

Finster: (bows) Ah, perhaps I could be of some assistance?

(The following day after class comes and goes and after class the gang separates to do two different things. Kim, Zack and Tommy go to their homes to prepare for Zack's big date while Jason and Billy set up a table at the park in preparation for Robbie and Trini's arrival.)

Trini: Robbie, where are you taking me? You do know that I have midterms to study for, right?

Robbie: It's just a bit further, and it won't take long at all. And you can trust me, it'll be worth it.

Trini: The last time you said that resulted in a false alarm and a trip to Planned Parenthood.

Robbie: Well I kept my word; nothing happened, right?

(Just a few yards down, Jason and Billy spot them and hustle to make final preparations.)

Jason: Quick here they come, grab the cake, I've got the hats.

(Jason and Billy put everything behind their backs and turn around block whatever's on the table with their bodies.)

Trini: Is that Billy and Jason; what are they doing here?

Robbie: They just decided to come down and help me make this a special day for a special woman.

Jason and Billy: Happy 17th birthday!!

(Jason and Billy step aside to reveal a table full of presents, as well as a small ice cream cake and party hats in each of their hands. Trini, looking genuinely shocked, turns around and give her boyfriend a big hug.)

Robbie: Happy birthday Trini!

Trini: Oh my goodness, this is amazing! Thank you, thank you so much!

Billy: Here, blow out your candle before it melts.

Jason: Don't forget to make a wish.

(Billy raises the cake to Trini's face. She pauses for a second to think about what to wish for before finally blowing it out.)

Jason: I don't think it came true, Robbie's still here.

Trini: Don't be silly, I would never wish away such a sweet, thoughtful man.

Robbie: (bashfully) Aw, it was nothing. I just wanted to do something just for you. I also knew you didn't have a lot of time so I tried to give you something short and quick.

(Jason leans over to whisper something in Billy's ear.)

Jason: ...I bet he gives her that a lot.

Robbie: Anyway we can stay as long as you'd like, no pressure at all.

Jason: Yeah, we've got nothing planned for tonight and our global outreach stuff isn't until tomorrow.

Billy: Though I can't help feeling like I'm forgetting something.
