late morning of poker day

[rehandle]

I hear you're going to House's poker game.

[verbol]

Is that gonna be an issue?

[rehandle]

Not for me.

[verbol]

You thought it would be an issue for me?

[rehandle]

I thought it could be.

[verbol]

Didn’t realise I was a fourteen year old girl you dumped at prom.

[rehandle]

[ You're a special one, Jim Hopper. ]

I bound you to a building by the throat.

[verbol]

And then you sat with me at my lowest.

We’re fine, Stephen.

[rehandle]

Ok.

[ Good. He almost leaves it there - should, probably - ]

How are you?

[ It's not exactly poker table talk, but he wants to know. So. ]

[verbol]

[oh, well,]

I still have some of my dignity left.

I’m fine. You still leaking black ooze?

[rehandle]

[ Ah yes, 'I'm fine', the staple catch phrase of everyone who is of course completely okay. ]

A little. I'm getting to it.

[ And the less said about that the better. ]

See you in a couple hours, then.

[verbol]

You better not ooze on the cards, is all I’m saying.

[rehandle]

No promises.
