Maria:Weirdo

Alex:CUPID MAN IS COMING TO TOWN

Alex:And by TOWN, I mean your tiny-ass island in the middle of fucking nowhere

Peter:You have a scene with us?

Maria:I’d been hoping we might get company at some point!

Alex:You’ve had the rest

Alex:Time for you to have the best

Alex:THE BEST = ME

Alex:Obvs

Peter:Am I... supposed to be the rest here

Peter:Because if so, I’m not saying I’m pouting

Peter:But I will admit there may be a certain amount of manful brooding in progress

Alex:Cupid is coming to sweep you off your feet with his inimitable charm, dashing good looks, and the extremely brief loincloth thingy the wardrobe department gives me

Alex:Also some very phallic arrows

Alex:::waggles brows::

Maria:Tell you what

Maria:If you can literally sweep me off my feet, you can have me

Peter:...

Marcus:Maria, please don’t encourage him

Peter:Wouldn’t it make more sense to film Cupid’s scenes in a studio, in front of a green screen, and fix things in postproduction

Peter:Because travel is very expensive, and this season is already over budget, so

Maria:BUT

Maria:Only if you can manage to *stop talking* for an entire night, Alex, because I’d prefer not to wear noise-canceling headphones in bed

Alex:UNFAIR, WE BOTH KNOW I CAN’T DO THAT

Maria:And we also both know we don’t feel that way about one another

Alex:I don’t brood manfully

Alex:I fucking POUT

Alex:::pouts::

Peter:Anyway, Maria’s right, it’ll be great to have company

Peter:Couldn’t be happier you’ll be here with us, dude, can’t wait
