Milty looks awfully down-hearted.
He... he's just so cute.
He lean over and give him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Goodnight, Milty," you say tenderly.
"Bye, Brad!" shouts Milty, now with a big smile across his face.
Milton walks over and hops in bed with Eva.
You exit the bedroom and make your way back through the restaurant and out the front door.
You walk over to Merv's place, and go to knock on the door, but then see that there's a note hanging there:
GO AWAY.
WEBSTER'S
ON.
-MERV
You enter anyway.
"Hello?" you say, once inside. "It's me, Brad."
There's no response.
You walk down the hall to Merv's living room. Merv is there watching Webster alone.
"Hi, Merv," you say.
"Where have you been?" he snaps.
"I'm sorry, man," you say.
You proceed to explain about Milty and the random internal organ and the pizza and the black-and-white TV with Webster in Greek.
Though obviously a bit jealous of Milton, Merv laughs about the Webster in Greek part, and the two of you watch the last ten minutes of Webster together and have a good time.
When it's over you say goodnight to Merv and head out.
Just as you're leaving, Sandy is at the door.
"Sandy," you say. "What're you doing here?"
"Oh, hi, Brad," she says. "Uh, I was, uh, just seeing if you were here."
"And, you were gonna borrow that uh... some eggs," says Merv coming to the door.
"That's right," says Sandy. "I need some eggs."
"Oh," you say.
"Well, bye, Brad," says Merv.
"Yeah, bye," says Sandy.
You walk back home and head to the basement.
As you crawl into your favorite spot and curl up to sleep, you think to yourself: "could Sandy and Merv be getting it on behind my back? ...And could that have been Milton's internal organ diced up on that pizza?"
"Nah," you decide,
and drift into sleep in peace.
