Episode 64:


The day is Saturday April 15 1967.


Marvin sets up the pull out mattress and makes their beds. He stacked pillows and blankets on top of the mattress.


He lays down and pats for Calista to lay next to him.


Marvin

Line 1) My bad. Do you prefer a side?


Calista

Line 2) I told you before that it doesn’t matter to me.


Marvin

Line 3) That was different. We weren’t in a relationship back then.


Marvin

Line 4) You probably just said that not to give me a hard time. So, which part do you want to lay on?


Calista

Line 5) You’ve got the wrong idea. That was my genuine answer. I don’t have a preference.


Marvin

Line 6) Whatever, don’t nag me if you’re uncomfortable on your side.


Marvin

Line 7) Even if you do nag, I’ll still switch out with you, regardless.


Calista tries to gather herself.


Calista

Line 8) That was too much.


Calista

Line 9) Is it really that big of a deal on which side I sleep on?


Marvin

Line 10) It’s a big deal to me. I want you to be comfortable.


Calista

Line 11) Don’t worry. I’m not really a people pleaser. If I don’t think something’s right. I’ll let you know automatically.


Marvin

Line 12) You’re not a people pleaser? But, you went on that trip your boss nagged about during the holidays.


Calista

Line 13) Ah. Yeah. You’re right.


Calista

Line 14) It just depends on the situation. That was something I couldn’t get out of.


Calista lies next to Marvin.


Marvin

Line 15) So, how’re you feeling?


Calista smiles.


Calista

Line 16) I’m really really happy.


Marvin smiles.


Marvin

Line 17) So am I.


Calista

Line 18) And your dog is a bundle of joy.


Calista

Line 19) But, you should’ve caught me when he pounced.


Marvin

Line 20) I’m sorry you’re majesty, but I’m not some superhero with quick reflexes.


Marvin

Line 21) Did you get a bump on your head, sweetie?


Marvin jokingly tries to console Calista.


Marvin

Line 22) Let me see it?


He reaches over to Calista’s head but she worms herself out of the situation.


Calista

Line 23) Ugh, you’re being weird.


Calista

Line 24) There’s no bump. I’m fine. Really.


Marvin smiles.


Marvin

Line 25) Come closer to me. You wiggled far away.


Calista

Line 26) Just don’t try to pull something like that ever again.


Calista comes closer to Marvin.


Marvin

Line 27) Why not, was it really that bad?


Marvin starts to tease again.


Marvin

Line 28) What? Do you not like me anymore?


Calista

Line 29) Go to sleep.


Marvin

Line 30) What? You don’t want to talk with me?


Marvin

Line 31) Are you actually tired?


Calista

Line 32) Just close your eyes and think of unicorns and rainbows.


Marvin

Line 33) Don’t you want to hear about my plans with you?


Calista’s interest peaked.


Calista

Line 34) I’m listening.


Marvin

Line 35) Tomorrow. I’m gonna rent a boat. We'll go paddling and have a picnic with it.


Calista’s eyes spark up.


Calista

Line 36) That sounds amazing!


A question daunts Talulla.


Calista

Line 37) But, what about Talulla?


Marvin

Line 38) Does she want to come with us? Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of a date?


Calista

Line 39) No, it’s just what will she do when we’re gone?


Calista

Line 40) It’s not like she has a phone or something to keep her company. This is a completely different time.


Marvin

Line 41) That’s true.


Marvin

Line 42) I can introduce her to my friends and she can hang with them.


Marvin

Line 43) I think they’ll get along well.


Calista

Line 44) Hmm. I guess that could work.


Calista

Line 45) What if your friends want to hang out with you, though?


Marvin

Line 46) That’s too bad. Because I’ve already got plans.


Calista

Line 47) You haven’t told them about us yet, have you?


Marvin

Line 48) I was too busy looking for you all day, so no.


Calista

Line 49) Do you plan on telling them?


Marvin

Line 50) Uhh…


Marvin

Line 51) Do they really have to know?


Calista

Line 52) Of course they do.


Calista

Line 53) They’re your best friends.


Calista

Line 54) You’ve known them longer than you’ve known me.


Marvin

Line 55) Fine. I’ll tell them.


Marvin

Line 56) But, you’re also my best friend.

Calista is confused.


Calista

Line 57) Okay…


Marvin

Line 58) Wait a minute. Am I not your best friend?


Calista

Line 59) What do you mean?


Marvin gets a ray of hope.


Calista

Line 60) Of course, you aren’t.


His hopes get shattered.


Marvin

Line 61) W-W-W-What do you mean?


Calista

Line 62) Talulla’s my best friend.


Marvin

Line 63) And so am I?


Calista

Line 66) But, you’re my boyfriend.


Calista

Line 67) You can’t be my best friend and boyfriend at the same time.


Calista

Line 68) Those titles are assigned to one person and one person only.


Marvin

Line 69) Who said that?


Calista

Line 70) That’s just the way things are.


Calista

Line 71) I’m sure you have a best friend too.


Marvin

Line 72) I have best friends. As in plural, so they consist of many people.


Calista

Line 73) Let be real. There’s still that one person who’s your main bestie.


Marvin

Line 74) Not for me.


Calista

Line 75) Well then, that’s just you.


Marvin

Line 76) Unbelievable!


Calista

Line 77) What?


Marvin makes himself into a caterpillar with his sheets and turns to the side away from Calista.


He takes all of the blanket.


Calista

Line 78) Are we going to sleep now?


Calista

Line 79) You took all of the blanket. Can you give me some?


Marvin stays silent.


Calista

Line 80) I'll get cold at night.


Marvin still doesn’t say a word.


Calista

Line 81) Pretty please?


Marvin

Line 82) Take a hint Calina! I’m not speaking with you.


Calista

Line 83) Marvin. Why do you do this? And the Calina thing again?


Calista

Line 84) Fine, you’re my bestfriend and boyfriend. Now give me some of the blanket.


Marvin

Line 85) At least say it like you mean it.


Calista clears her throat.


Calista

Line 86) Then face me.


Calista

Line 87) This is a monumental moment. Don’t miss it.


Marvin peers his head out of his sheets.


Calista

Line 88) Marvin. You are my bestfriend and boyfriend.


Calista

Line 89) I mean that with my whole heart.


Marvins eyes spark up.


Calista

Line 90) Now do you have that wrapped around your head?


Calista

Line 91) Give me some of the blanket.


Calista

Line 92) And a cuddle. Please.


Marvin hugs Calista and buries his head into her shoulder.


She hugs his back.


Calista

Line 93) Are you okay now?


Marvin

Line 94) Yeah. I was just kidding with you.


Calista

Line 95) I knew it.


They pull back.


Calista

Line 96) Okay, now actually go to bed.


Marvin

Line 97) You forgot one thing.


Calista is confused.


Marvin points to his cheek.


Marvin

Line 98) Goodnight kiss.


Marvin

Line 99) Come on. Give it right here.


Calista rolls her eyes and kisses Marvins cheek.


Marvin blushes.


She snuggles into Marvins chest.


Calista

Line 100) Okay, actually go to sleep.


Marvin smiles and cuddles into Calista as well.


He gives her a kiss on the head.


End of episode.
