Cal insists on carting this hideous thing everywhere.

Should we be expecting him anytime soon?

Not as long as the cigars and brandy hold out.

That’s nice. What is it, a sapphire?

All right.

Wearing only this!

Over on the bed… the couch. Come… lie down!
Yeah… keep that so.

And try to stay still.
