[Ben]: So, Julie, you were saying?

[Julie]: Well, Ship is a pet, but when he's also a means of transportation, he can be pretty good, right?

[Ben]: Oh, I'm fine with using him!

[Julie]: Sure. You wanna go, boy?

(Ship jumps up and down in excitement.)

[Ben]: Oh, but if you're wondering if you can come too, then no.

[Julie]: Well, where are you even going?

[Ben]: Max said Plumber Academy.

[Julie]: Oh, wow!

[Ben]: Yes, and it's in the deep, uncharted trenches of space in which darkness and damnation overrule everything.

[Julie]: Nice try, it orbits Earth.

[Ben]: *(Sigh)* Look-

[Julie]: Yeah, yeah, it's unsafe. Is this a personal matter?

[Ben]: Very.

[Julie]: Fine, I believe you, but I actually do want to go to a restaurant now. Let's hope that doesn't wear off by the time you're back.

[Ben]: And if enough of it stays, I'm willing to go to multiple, too. I promise.

[Julie]: And?

[Ben]: And it won't be a burden to me.

[Julie]: Come here.

(Kevin's car pulls up in the distance.)

(Ben and Julie give each other a long hug.)

(Gwen and Kevin get out.)

[Kevin]: Well, someone's getting cuddly.

(Ben sees them make their way to the court.)

[Ben]: Oh, hey guys!

[Kevin]: You make fun of me so much for "what I do" around Gwen, yet you go give people hugs in public?

[Ben]: Hugging is not a sign of unhealthy behavior.

[Kevin]: You call my relationship with Gwen unhealthy?

[Ben]: Well, thinking of its origins makes me cringe.

[Kevin]: Yeah, because everything's centered around you. If you're this affectionate, I can only imagine-

[Ben]: AH - don't even try that. It's my thing.

[Kevin]: I'm the one who tells you not to try stupid things.

[Ben]: Oh, but who's the stupid one here?

[Kevin]: I don't want to punch you in front of your girlfriend, and mine-

[Julie]: Which is why you won't. Ship's here so you won't have to go finding your plane.

(Ship is jumping excitedly.)

[Kevin]: Oh, hi, Glob-Doggy.

[Gwen]: Don't call him that!

(Ship slides back, upset.)

[Ben]: Aw, come on, I told you that you should practice making friends, not enemies.

[Kevin]: It was a joke.

[Gwen]: Well, you should understand that some people, or pets, are more sensitive than others.

[Ben]: Then how does he live with you?

[Gwen]: Excuse me?

[Ben]: Oh, right, I know which part of him you tend to tolerate.

(Gwen looks at him confused.)

[Ben]: ...and indulge in.

(Kevin wheels around, livid.)

[Kevin]: THAT'S IT.

[Ben]: Oh, so she's not very good, is she? I thought you would try to make up for that. See, I told you this was an unhealthy relationship.

[Kevin]: I, am going to punch-

[Ben]: No wonder you cringe every time I ask if you two are having a good time. The thought of a "good time" tends to escape you.

[Julie]: Can you all just take this somewhere else?

[Ben]: You know what? She's right. We have to get going. Sorry, Julie.

[Kevin]: Oh, so you're apologizing to her?

[Ben]: Ship?

(Ship slides around in circles excitedly before his "glob" solidifies into a cube, from which parts extend out into a blocky engine piece and rooms - as his body extends into wings and guns, circuit-board stripes slide their way up his aesthetic anatomy. Flaps in his ship's wings as well as indentations and weapon functionality all activate and unfurl - his boarding ramp extends from the entryway.)

[Ben]: Man, I really love watching that.

[Julie]: You guys have fun!

[Ben]: Oh, tell them to have more fun.

(Kevin pushes Ben and he staggers up the ramp. Gwen shoves by him and walks in.)

[Ben]: Bye- WHOA!!!

(The ramp tilts up and the door closes.)
