In the Ulysses Airship, Dante wakes up and walks to the dining table, where Kyle, Sarah, Ashley, Billy, Nathan, Nora, James are sitting at the table. Walter is making breakfast.
Dante: Morning guys.
Sarah, Ashley, Kyle, James, Nora, Billy, Walter, Nathan: Morning, Dante....Hey, Dante...
Billy: I'm a little hung over...so who just walked in the room?
Sarah: it's Dante, Billy....
Billy: Okay....
Dante sits down between Sarah and Nathan. Walter turns around to everybody.
Walter: Eggs and Bacon. Organic, but trust they're good coming from me! And seeing as how you are, James, I think your ass could use this.
James is sitting at the table with his hands on his head, moaning. Nora comforts him. Dante looks at the bottles of pills.
Dante: How'd you get this?
Kyle: Dr. Fenix. He thought we could use this....or some of us.
Kyle laughs at James.
James: Fuck you, dude. uh....why is the room spinning? Inside voices in my head....... Don't ever...ever...ever let me drink again. Kill me if I ever suggest drinking....The voices.....make them stop...make them stop!
Ashley: I like James when he's drunk....he's amusing....
Colin: You should see him high....
Ashley: Holy shit. You got high back in Cratersville and didn't tell me?
Sarah: Ash!
Nathan: What the fuck?! Ashley!
Ashley: Sally had a bong and offered! It was one time! It wasn't that good anyway!
Nora laughs as Killen arrives.
Kyle: Morning, Stonequest.
Killen: Morning, Kyle.
Kyle: I see you're not drunk.
Killen: No...but I am tired as hell.
Dante notices a cut on Killen's hand.
Dante: What happened to your hand?
Killen: What? Oh, yeah, must have done it in my sleep.
Kyle: How'd you cut your hand in your sleep?
Killen laughs.
Killen: No idea.
Colin arrives with Burton.
Kyle: Hey, Colin. General.
Colin: Morning, guys.
Burton: Someone rented porn on the TV last night.....
Colin: What it you, James?
James: I was drunk, Uncle Colin. I don't know....maybe it was....it was just....knacking on TV....busty beauties.....
Billy: "was drunk" or "recovering from being drunk", son?
Sarah: See now this is why people under twenty-one should not drink....
Ashley: I'm not that crazy though, Sarah.
Ashley laughs.
Killen: James, that reminds me....thanks for the favor....does your ass still hurt?
Killen mooches and kisses at James.
James: Oh, dude, don't even fuck with me like that.
Kyle, Walter and Colin laugh.
