Percy (to Eep): Hey honey, I brought you some food. Everyone finally crashed a few hours ago. They all needed sleep. How are you? How's Mouse?
Eep (to Percy): Oh. Thanks. Worked all night, huh? Mouse is, um, she's hanging in there. She slept most of the night, so that's good. She's still asleep.
Percy (to Eep): That's good, she probably needs it. How about you? Did you get any sleep, honey?
Eep (to Percy): Yeah. I got enough. What's the story upstairs? Are we any closer to getting that--that psycho out of her head?
Percy (to Eep): Yes & no, honey. We think we have a solution, but we need to run some tests & there's a bit of a dilemma about how to go about it.
Eep (to Percy): Why do I get the impression I don't wanna hear about it?
Percy (to Eep): According to Maladori's research, if we try to remove the device, it may short out Mouse's brain. The other choice is to simply overload the device. Both don't sound very pleasant to me. So, when they wake up, they'll take another crack at it.
Eep (to Percy): Shit.
Otto (to Percy): Well tell them eggheads to get a move on, robot boy. I don't know how much longer my girl can last in these cells here.
Percy (to Eep & Otto): They are working on it. They are two of the smartest people in the world, they'll figure something out.
Eep (to Percy): Is there any place else we can put Mouse, Percy? Someplace less...um...triggering?
Percy (to Eep): I'm sorry, I don't think that's a good idea. If we put her anywhere else, Hiiri is liable to figure out a way to escape. I know it's terrible & seems cruel, but it's the best place for her.
Eep (to Percy): I know. I know. I just... She was having nightmares before this... God. I don't know. I can't think straight.
Otto (to Percy & Eep): That 's cause despite what he's saying he ain't sleeping and hasn't eaten in I'm thinking about two days.
Percy (to Otto & Eep): Really? Thank you Otto... I thought as much. And, I brought something to remedy the situation... (to Eep) I'm really sorry, Eep, but this is for your own good.
Eep (to Percy): What the... You fucking tin-plated...
Otto (to Percy): How long will he be out?
Percy (to Otto): For a few hours and he should be starving when he does, so he'll finally eat something.
Otto (to Percy): Yeah. Well, let's hope he don't avoid eating just to be contrary. I wouldn't put it past my boy. He's as bad as my girl.
Percy (to Otto): How is she doing really? I know they're both trying to keep calm & collected for the other one, but you know them better.
Otto (to Percy): Not good. She's close to her breaking point. Having her mate and her brother and friends here is helping, but she's close. Speaking of which, I been thinking. All you eggheads is supposing that the nasty version of my girl has been trying to escape this whole time. What if she ain't? Why use my girl to try to get out? Why not use someone easier to control? Someone that's already on this side, huh? My girl's too complicated to be easy. It don't make sense. Unless getting out ain't her goal. (to Mouse) And you can stop pretending to be asleep in there, girl. I need you paying attention to this bit.
Percy (to Otto): Hmmm, that is a very good point. Poppy mentioned there was someone else at Maladori's asking about the plans before you arrived.
Mouse (to Otto): How did you know?
Otto (to Mouse): Please, girl. Who taught you that trick? (to Percy & Mouse) All I'm saying, is that it'd be a nice little bit of revenge... if nasty girl made you lot think getting her out of my girl's head is just 'bout impossible. (to Mouse) Then either you crack or take yourself out, girl. She gets even with you, your boy and brother all in one swoop. (to Percy & Mouse) And she can pop up in one of her other meat suits at her leisure.
Percy (to Otto): That's seems quite nasty & logical. I'll mention your theory to the eggheads.
Mouse (to Otto): God! If that's true then getting caught might have been part of her plan.
Otto (to Mouse): That's what I figure. She had to know your friends would come after you. And she ain't been REAL keen on escaping, has she?
Mouse (to Otto): No, she's been pretty content to just sit here. I thought it was odd, but, I just figured it was because we were stuck in this cell. I don't like being in here, old man.
Several hours later:
Vincent (to Mouse): Hey, hun. Are you awake, or is it the other lass?
Mouse (to Vincent): It's me... Hiiri is being very subdued right now, we got into a fight.
Vincent (to Mouse): Dare I ask what about?
Mouse (to Vincent): About the fact that this was her plan all along.
Vincent (to Mouse): Yeah. Percy mentioned it to me. Do you think that's what she was plotting the whole time?
Mouse (to Vincent): I wouldn't put it past her, little brother... When I accused her of it, she got real quiet & then started saying really nasty things about you & Poppy... I told her to shut up & she's been quiet ever since.
Percy (to Vincent & Mouse): Sorry to interrupt you, sweeties... But I have news. The eggheads, I mean, Klaude & Tesla have figured out something, but it's risky... and we need to make sure that Hiiri doesn't know what we're planning... So, Vincent when Eep wakes up, can you both come up to the lab?
Otto (to Percy, Mouse & Vincent): It's about damn time!
Vincent (to Percy): Of course, hun.
Mouse (to Otto): It's okay, old man. They're doing their best.
Percy (to Vincent): Wonderful... I'm going to leave before he wakes up, because he's probably going to kill me.
Vincent (to Mouse): How are you doing, sweetie. Really?
Mouse (to Vincent): Just fine... Well no, not fine. But, I'll hold it together. I refuse to let Hiiri win.
Vincent (to Mouse): Good. I'm sorry Percy didn't put Eep to sleep last night. I know having the company has helped. Speaking of which, where the heck has Max gone? Max! Come on out, furryface. I keep telling you, you look ADORABLE!
Otto (to Vincent): He's lucky he's alive is what he is!
Mouse (to Vincent): Oh my god! He's got wings & scales... Can he breathe fire?
Vincent (to Mouse): Oh God, I hope not. It's bad enough he's got wings, which we're hoping never start working.
Otto (to Mouse): Tell that nasty girl in your head to shut up. Sets me on edge whenever she starts yakking.
Mouse (to Otto): You can hear her?
Otto (to Mouse): I can't make out words, but I can feel her talking. These whiskers ain't just for show, you know.
Vincent (to Mouse): Hun, what's going on?
Mouse (to Vincent): Hiiri's doing something... My head hurts... My nose feels funny... Shit...
Vincent (to Mouse): Shit! (to Percy) Percy! Do you have another tranquilizer?
Percy (to Vincent) Yes, of course... (to Mouse) Honey, your nose is bleeding!
Hiiri (to Percy): You are the master of the obvious, aren't you robot boy? And, it just dawns on me that you're the Poppy I shot, aren't you?
Vincent (to Mouse): I am so, so sorry for this, but going to have to shoot you again.
Mouse (to Vincent): She can't hear you...
Vincent (to Mouse): Just as well then. Talk to you later.
Hiiri (to Vincent): Wait... Not again.
Vincent (to Mouse): Hun, are you alright? Can you hear me?
Mouse (to Vincent): god... get her out of here, little brother...
Vincent (to Mouse): We will, hun. I swear. (to Percy) Go upstairs and tell the brainchildren I'll be up in two minutes. (to Eep) Eep. Hey, Eep! EDUARDO!
Percy (to Vincent): Alright, honey. We'll fix this, I promise.
Eep (to Vincent): Huh? Wha... What the fuck happened? Where the fuck is Percy? I'm going to... Vincent? What the fuck is wrong with your cat?
Vincent (to Eep): There's too much to explain, so let me sum up: we might have a solution for Mouse. I need to go talk to Klaude and Tesla. Hiiri's getting freaked, and she's trying new and horribly disturbing things. I need you to stay here with my sister.
Eep (to Vincent): Oh. Yeah. Right. OK. (to Mouse) Are you bleeding? What the fuck just happened?
Mouse (to Eep): yeah... I don't know... she did something... I'm kinda scared, Eep... Can you come sit with me?
Eep (to Mouse): Yeah. Of course. (to Percy) Let me in there.
Percy (to Eep): Ok, but I don't think this is a good idea, honey.
Eep (to Percy): Yeah. I know. I don't care. Gimme whatever you knocked me out with earlier, and open the damn door.
Percy (to Eep): Here, you go, honey. Holler if you need anything.
Vincent (to Percy): Thank you for letting Eep sit with my sister. She needs someone with her right now. I can fill him in later. So what's going on, hun?
Percy (to Vincent): Well, Klaude is building the apparatus, if we go to the lab, Tesla can explain everything to you.
Vincent (to Percy): Lead the way, hun.
Eep (to Mouse): Hey.
Mouse (to Eep): hey.
Eep (to Mouse): God... I've missed you. Come here.
Mouse (to Eep): I've missed you, too...
Otto (to Mouse & Eep): I don't like this.
Eep (to Otto): I know. You keep saying that.
Mouse (to Otto): I'm sorry... What is it, old man? I trust your instinct.
Otto (to Mouse): I don't trust that other version of you in there, girl. I don't like your boy being locked in there with her. Something about this whole setup stinks.
Mouse (to Otto): Well, she's knocked out right now... Just make sure he gets out of here after I go to sleep.
Eep (to Mouse & Otto): Uh, don't I get a say in this?
Otto (to Eep): No. Because, you're gonna decide something stupid.
Mouse (to Eep): I don't want her to hurt you.
Eep (to Mouse): I know. YOU won't. Don't worry. It'll be fine.
Mouse (to Eep): Of course, I won't hurt you... but Hiiri's getting stronger, I can tell.
Eep (to Mouse): It'll all be fine, OK? I've got the tranq in my pocket, and if it'll make you feel better, I'll sleep on the cot tonight.
Mouse (to Eep): I don't want you to sleep on the cot. I want US to sleep in our own bed. I want to be in our own house... and I don't want to be to be in this fucking cell, anymore.
Eep (to Mouse): I know, I know! We'll be back home before you know it. Hey, we gotta stay to see Vincent's little squirt born at least, right?
Mouse (to Eep): You don't believe that or you'd be sleeping & eating.
Eep (to Mouse): Is that what you think? I'm not sleeping or eating because I'm worried about you. I know how horrible being locked up is for you. And that whole speech you gave me about doing whatever you needed to stop Hiiri... It freaked me out, Mouse. Like a lot.
Mouse (to Eep): I'm sorry, but I am not going to be responsible for her being unleashed onto the world again... If you were in my place, how would you feel? You can't tell me you'd just let her go & hurt people.
Eep (to Mouse): And how would you feel if I said it to you? Look, I get it. I really do. I just...Jesus. What am I gonna do if I lose you, huh?
Mouse (to Eep): I know... I... (to Otto) Can you leave us alone for a little while?
Otto (to Mouse): Yeah. I can take a hint.
Mouse (to Eep): just shut up & kiss me.
Eep (to Percy): Oh. Thanks. Worked all night, huh? Mouse is, um, she's hanging in there. She slept most of the night, so that's good. She's still asleep.
