I don't remember the exact day I got here, but I think I've been here for a year, now. I also think it's gone by really fast, at least since my friends got here.

I hope I'm here next year, too.

[Lee]

[Now, to more important matters.]

Did you get Carley a present yet?

Dictated forever

[indirectcause]

I hope you are, too, Clem.

You wanna do anything to celebrate?

Clem

[rightchoices]

For Christmas?

[ He sounds slightly perplexed. ]

[willrememberthat]

You, too. [Though that's probably obvious.]

We don't have to. Just make my Christmas present extra special.

Lee

[willrememberthat]

[And she sounds almost exasperated!]

Yes, for Christmas. It's soon!

Clem

[rightchoices]

There's nothing I could give her that she couldn't wish up for herself, Clem.

[ THIS IS THE SAME DILEMMA he ran into with the flowers... ]

Lee

[willrememberthat]

It's the thought that counts! You have to get her something.

Clem

[rightchoices]

[ Oh my god. She's right, isn't she. ]

... maybe a video camera?

Lee

[willrememberthat]

Do you think she'd really really like it?

Clem

[rightchoices]

Well, she was a reporter, right?

Lee

[willrememberthat]

Uh huh. There's not really TV here, though...

Clem

[rightchoices]

No, but... [ Weep. This is hard. ] Unless you've got any suggestions...

Lee

[willrememberthat]

[Her dad usually got her mom jewelery, so...]

I saw some pretty necklaces at a shop in the city. How's that?

Clem

[rightchoices]

You don't think it's a little soon to be getting her jewelry?

[ Maybe you should get your advice from an adult, Lee. :T ]

Lee

[willrememberthat]

It doesn't have to be expensive...

Clem

[rightchoices]

[ ... and then he sighs concedingly. ]

I'll get her something nice.

Lee

[willrememberthat]

Um, there's clothes, too! You just have to find out her size.

Clem

[rightchoices]

... huh. Think you could find that out for me?

[ Because there is literally no way that he can find out her pant size without either offending her or cluing her in. ]

Lee

[willrememberthat]

[She's thrilled at the idea of being sneaky in the name of teamwork and Christmas!]

Definitely.

Clem

[rightchoices]

Knew I could count on you.

[ And then he ... sighs. ]

Ben's gonna be a hard one to shop for.

Lee

[willrememberthat]

And Molly.

[She sighs, too.]

Clem

[rightchoices]

[ His tone is suddenly a little amused. ] And what are you getting me?

Dictated

[dog_eat_dog]

I hope we're all here next year, frankly. It's a damn good place to be.

[indirectcause]

Okay. I'm not sure how I'm gonna top a puppy, though.

[Maybe TWO puppies?]

[willrememberthat]

I know you can!

What do you want for Christmas, Ben?

Lee

[willrememberthat]

That's a secret.

[................ she doesn't know yet.]
