Steph: *sitting on counter, swinging feet*
Lori: *turns tap, grabs cup*
Steph: Are you and Daddy mad at each other?
Lori: No.
Steph: ...You were yellin'.
Lori: Sometimes mommies and daddies disagree and that means sometimes they get loud.
Steph: *frowns* Daddy never yells.
Lori: That's because Daddy's weird. *hands over cup* Drink.
Steph: *drinks* BLAAA! Momma, this is hot.
Lori: Oh. Oops. *grabs cup* Guess it helps to turn on the cold water.
Steph: *swings feet*
Lori: *runs water*
Steph: Did the doctor fix you, Momma?
Lori: *smirks* You know what...it's um...it's kind of a long time thing.
Steph: ...Are you gonna die?
Lori: *stares at Steph* ...No honey, I'm not going to die. Why would you think that?
Steph: *shrugs*

Hallway
Lori: *opens door*
Scott: *walks over* How is she?

Lori: *walks into bedroom*
Inside bedroom

Hummerhome, road, 9am
Katie: *playing video games, staring at television*
Delko: Can I play now?
Katie: No.
Delko: But you were playing all night.
Katie: I'm not done.
Delko: It's my turn! *stomps*
Colton: Why don't you just hang your head out the window and take in all the scents.
Delko: *frowns*
Horatio: Katie, give Eric the video games.
Katie: No.
Delko: It's a two-player game. Can I take a controller?
Katie: No, I'm on a quest.
Delko: You've been playing the same quest for 13 hours.
Katie: Yeah and eventually, I'll get enough coins to buy wings for my character. I want the golden ones, not the brass ones.
Delko: What if I do this quest for you? I can get you the coins.
Katie: No, I'm doing it on my own.
Delko: *grabs at controller*
Katie: *snatches controller away*
Delko: GIMME!
Katie: *pushes Eric*
Delko: *falls over*
Katie: Ah damnit! My soldier fell down a cliff into the pit of hate! THANKS A LOT, ERIC! If I had wings it would have never happened!
Delko: Maybe you just suck! Speed says you're good at it!
Katie: *frowns*
Everyone: *looks at Katie*
Katie: I think you're looking for a different word.
Delko: Everyone gets what I mean.
Katie: Yeah, Katie's a slut. HAR-DEE-HAR-HAR.
Horatio: Guys...
Katie: No one ever listens to you! Shut up!
Horatio: *lip wibbles*
Katie: Ugh, I need a drink. *stands, walks over to fridge*
Carly: It's 9 in the morning.
Katie: Shut up, Aussie.
Carly: You know, you catch more flies with honey than vineagar.
Katie: What would I need with flies?
Lora: Apparently metaphors are lost on some.
Katie: Shut up, Canuck.
Lora: Okay now you're just being mean. *starts to cry*
Carly: *pats Lora on the head* It's okay.
Calleigh: *opens brochure* HEY! I FOUND IT! Georgia has the world's largest peanut! We're going.
Ryan: *snatches brochure away* NO WAY! The National Tick Museum! *lifts head* Horatio we have to go there.
Horatio: What exactly is a tick museum?
Ryan: A museum about ticks.
Horatio: No no no. If we go somewhere with microscopic annoyances, we'll end up with an infestation. Especially if we bring Eric.
Delko: Hey.
Everyone: *looks at Eric*
Delko: ...Nevermind.

Speed: Okay so we have to find our primary crime scene.
Alexx: This might help. *lifts foot*
