Morrigan
There’s my precious little sugar thief, Bellisma …
Ms Sandra at Nightcare said you were on your best behavior while we were working last night.
You really need to stop that, or you are just going to ruin the Hemlock reputation around here.
I know the sun has come up, but we’ll give your father a few more minutes to catch up.
There’s no telling what kind of mischief he has been up to,
and I have a few places in need to go this morning.

Wogan;
Well how fortuitous is this …
Both of my favorite young ladies in the world, right here before me.
How did Sandra say things went at Night care last night …
No more biting incidents I take it?
Sorry about the time … I know you were working too, but Beau and I needed more time
to get back from Grimm’s Ferry.
These nights are starting to wear on me.

Morrigan:
Well talk to Elvira … You didn’t hire on with the outfit as a truckdriver.
I know she has been grumpy lately, but suck it up, and put on your man pants.
I don’t know what has gotten into her anyways.
I work at the warehouse too,
and I was under the impression things would be running a little smoother by now.

Wogan:
To tell you the truth, it’s not really a ‘What’ that is giving us problems …
It’s a ‘Who’ at the core of Elvira’s current troubles.
Paul … Paul Stansbury, that’s the man, more than anyone else.
He outbid her on the Cannery property, totally unreasonable bid on his part …
a good 30 percent over market value.
The old Cannery would have been perfect for Elvira.
It would have been an excellent cover for her Import Business.
Now … Beau and I are driving to Grimm’s Ferry every night instead.

Morrigan:
Still … those are Elvira’s problems.
Even though we are all in this together,
it seems as though our current misery, is simply a consequence of her failures.
We didn't move to Bridgeport to keep back-seating to the whims of others.
There were times when a nice little visit to folks like Mr Stansbury, would clear things up.
If he couldn’t figure out how to get along with our kind,
there would be a U-Haul in his driveway, or even worse.

Wogan:
Look … My rear end has been glued to seat of a big truck for the last 4 hours.
You don’t need to convince me that maybe we should be investigating other options.
Beau is fed up with things as well.
We have had time to talk while on the road,
and thought we had come up with what could be a better answer for us.
There was a fire at the Stutter place down by the base of the bridge, on the Metro side ...
Ruined the living quarters, but the structure is still sound.
We have some money, and were thinking about buying the property.
Turn it into a Rave Club, and you could work it with us.
More quality time for us, and a chance to get out from under the Old World politics.
Elvira wouldn’t be pleased, but she has little to bargain with right now.
There is enough of our kind here now, and other young folks who just want to irritate their parents.

Morrigan:
So yeah, great idea … What’s the hold-up on that Daddy Warbucks?
Do you need me to break the cookie jar, and scrape my egg money out, to start the ball rolling?
If I had a dime for every plan you and Beau have come up with over the years,
we wouldn’t have to work.

Wogan:
Things aren’t that easy Morrigan …
If we didn’t want to work at making things better, and more reliable here in Bridgeport,
We could do the same as our kind did in Darkhollow.
We could treat the townsfolk as cattle, milk them dry, and move on in two to three years.
Of course there are risks associated with that as well …
Most clearly, the angry mob of peasants with pitchforks scenario.
We have little Bel now … I don’t want to keep moving around.
Beau and I are already getting some pushback on the club idea.
Some soccer mom on the hill across the bridge ...
I think her name is Gloria, filed an injunction with the zoning committee.
Some garbage about a Community Center instead …
She’s just busting our chops.

Morrigan:
You know the old saying about when push comes to shove …
Well, I think we are well past the pushing part, and heading full steam into the shoving part.
What … With Hans, Marcella and their two kids, moving in from out West …
picking up that apartment on the North Side …
And Jessica’s family coming in … Maybe folks should get a clue.
We are doing what we can to stay out of each other’s way here ...
We can make things work.
Oh, please … I am wasting my breath.
Give me that umbrella, I have things I need to do this morning.
It’s your turn to watch Bel anyway, and you won’t be needing that.
