Barry, it's Megan, I...

[Barry] Hi, this is Barry,
I'm out running around

so leave a message.

Dammit, Barry, it's Megan.

If you're there, please
pick up the phone.

I'm in Willow Haven and
I need help fast.

I can't believe you've never
seen "The Philadelphia Story?"

Well, between my dad and my brother

I grew up watching "Westerns."

Well, there aren't any six shooters here

but you do have Katharine Hepburn

choosing between Cary
Grant and Jimmy Stewart.

Oh, wow! That sounds action-packed, huh?

Well, it depends on what
you call action-packed.

Intense fleeting passion
or complex but true love.

Look, I just hope there's a
cartoon with it, alright?.

Where is that remote?

Oh, no.

I hope it's not the office.

[Megan on recorder]
Dammit, Barry, it's Megan.

I need help.
I'm in Willow Haven.

Please, fast.

- Megan Lockhart?
- The detective?

But I thought she left Central.

Willow Haven's a resort
town north of here, right?

- I got to go.
- It's 150 miles from here.

I know, I've never done that
kind of distance before.

Oh, Barry, I don't want to sound

like a broken record, but you can't--

I know, I know, I know.

I'm risking muscle fatigue

dehydration, blackouts.

You heard the message.

Start without me.
I'll be back.

Well, I guess it's just
you and me, Earl.

Popcorn?

[James] Prepare to be amazed,
ladies and gentlemen.

I am James Montgomery Jesse.

Welcome to my world of illusion

Wonder Show.

You're such a lovely audience.

Don't be shy.

Give yourself a huge round of applause.

You're too kind.

Hey! You call that an act?

You stink!

A disbeliever?

See if you can figure
out how this works.

And now...

...something you've all
been waiting for.

Help me! Help!

Let me out of here!

Other prestidigitators

may give you the illusion

of sawing a woman in half.

You're crazy!

[James] But there's no
substitute for the real thing!

Huh.

Can't we talk about this?

Darling, you're acting
like we haven't done this

a thousand times before.

Trust me.

Go to hell!

Watch your language.
This is a family show.

And now, ladies and gentlemen

before your very eyes

I shall cut my lovely assistant

in twain.

What?

Aah! No!

Who the hell are you?

Thanks, Red.

I needed that.

This is my show.

My show!

A disappearing act, huh?

Ooh, I got to learn how to do that.

I warn you

I've mastered all of Houdini's secrets.

[Megan] Ah, put a sock in it.

I'm glad you got my message.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Wiped out. Ugh!

How'd you get involved
with, uh, Mandrake here?

Routine repo job.

His name's James Jesse, like Jesse James

only backwards and twisted.

I followed him across state lines

and he turns the tables
and starts chasing me.

I thought I lost him on the back roads

and then he set up a trap for me here.

How was I supposed to know
he was a homicidal maniac?

[James] Mustache and beard are real. Aw!

So I lied.

I gotta tell ya, I'm impressed, ma'am.

It took real guts to take this guy down.

Oh, it was nothing, really.

A little martial arts training

and a lot of street fighting.

Well, you hit the jackpot
with this bird.

He's been tough to track.

He's got more personalities
than a variety show.

He's wanted for murder in five states.

That's six states.

And she didn't stop me.

It was that... Flash thing.

Yeah, right, and I'm Bugs Bunny.

[James] Aw!

You sure you're alright, ma'am?

Now, you don't need an escort?

No, I'm fine, uh, really.

Uh, I've got a guardian angel.

Come on, Williams.

Lady's had a rough night already.

[James] Megan...

...you've won my heart.

You're aggressive, persistent, tough

everything I admire in a woman!

You hear me? I love you!

Megan, please!
You've got to believe me!

Come on, let's get out of here.

Megan, I love you!

I love you!

Ugh.

Cold?

I hope they lock that guy

away for good.

Did you see his eyes?

They were like tiny black holes.

Listen, I, uh, really don't think I'm up

for the trek back to Central City.

Can you give me a lift?

In that red suit, honey,
you're riding in back.

Uh.

Wait here.

What do you think?

Very snazzy.

I'm sorry I didn't wear my clam diggers.

Oh.

Oh, man, I...

I guess, I wasn't quite ready

for hyper speed, huh.

I tell you what.

We'll stop off at the Moo & Brew.

- All you can eat for 4.99.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Sounds like heaven.

Let's go.

You can do that at high speed?

Well, if I have to.

Oh, makes my life sound pretty dull.

[Barry] Oh, yeah, right,
like tonight, huh?

Okay, you got me there.

Oh, shh. Tina's sleeping.

No, no, no, don't worry.
Don't worry. I'm awake.

Megan's with you.

Oh, of course.

Uh, did everything turn out alright?

Well, let's just say if not for Barry

I'd be beside myself.

What are you wearing?

I'll, uh, explain in the morning.

Well, speaking of morning, I
have a very early appointment.

[Megan] Uh, yeah, well,
Barry mentioned to me

what happens to you when you
don't get enough sleep.

All-girl gang, huh?

You told her about that?

Well, yeah, I, um...

...brought her up to date.

Um, besides you, she is the only one

who knows I'm The Flash, so.

Well, I guess I can't be the only one.

Uh, well, uh, listen
I'll, uh, make some tea

and the three of us can
sit down, catch up.

- Great idea.
- Yeah.

Look, I've really got to hit the road.

Uh, Megan, if you're looking for a hotel

the Ritz on second street has
phenomenal room service.

What? No, uh, you're
staying here, alright?

I got plenty of room right here.

[Tina] Oh.

- Great.
- Yeah.

Well, nice seeing you again, Megan.

Same here, McGee.

Uh, Tina, listen, uh, one more time

I'm really sorry about tonight.

Don't worry about it, Barry.

I'll call you in the morning.

Okay.

I am wasted.

Oh, yeah.

Definitely time for bed.

Uh-uh, I mean, well, uh...

...you take the bedroom, um

I'll camp down here with Earl.

Forget it, Barry.

You've had one hellish night.

I don't wanna impose any
more than I have already.

Oh, no, no, no.
Come on, get up.

Get up before I change my mind.

Hey, if the scouts found out

I put you on the couch

they'd take back my merit badges

and my red suit.

Well, we couldn't have
that now, could we?

You know, Barry, not only are you fast

but you're nice.

Nice?

Thanks for saving my life, yet again.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

We could meet halfway.

I thought you were tired.

Exhausted.

- Yeah, me too.
- Yeah.

Wait a minute.

It isn't over yet, is it?

Not a chance.

[James] The red costume

with that lightning bolt insignia

signifying his dark power.

Will you listen to this knucklehead?

I just can't believe we
gotta haul him all the way

to state lockup.

Well, to hell with that!

Take me to Central City.

That's where this Flash lives, right?

Yeah, there's no justice.

He stole the only woman
I ever loved from me.

That's 'cause you murdered the other 12

only women you ever loved.

Flash.

He kidnapped her

brainwashed her with his black science.

There's only one man who
can stop The Flash.

Hey. Hey!

Hey!

There's only one man

who can rescue my faithful
companion Megan Lockhart

from the Flash's evil clutches

and I am that man.

Move over.

I'm driving.

I like it.

[James] Leased.

You took her from me, red demon

brainwashed her, all to make her forget

her one true love.

But no matter what you do

no matter where you run

you won't keep Megan
Lockhart from my side

because, my dear Flash

you may have defeated James Jesse

but you'll never defeat...

...The Trickster.

I figured I had some thinking to do

so I ended up in LA

and came to a few realizations.

Yeah? Like what?

Like, one, I hate anyone
who uses the word dude

in an sentence.

And two, sitting around doing nothing

makes me totally insane.

So you started doing repo work, right?

To pass the time.

The thrill, the adrenaline rush.

Um, I know all about that.

Ooh, I know you do.

- Oh!
- Ugh!

So should I call the chapped lip squad

or would you two prefer to be alone?

Julio, don't you have a
morning of your own to ruin?

Julio Mendez. Megan Lockhart.

- Hi.
- How you doing?

Just picked up my costume

for the policeman's ball on Saturday.

You gonna make it?

Ah, hey, you know--

I may not be in town that long.

Uh, will you excuse us
for a moment, please?

Okay, let me get this straight.

Last night it's Tina.

This morning it's this hot chick.

- Shh, shh, shh.
- I mean, what's going on?

What are you, Barry's evil twin?

You know, only that haircut

would cover your filthy mind.

Well, things are, um...

Things are happening.

- Hmm, they're happening.
- Yeah.

Well, don't look now, but
things are really happening.

- Hey, guys.
- Tina.

My turn to buy muffins and
croissants for the office.

Uh, yeah, listen, again

I'm really sorry about last night.

Oh, don't worry about it.
I understand.

Anyway, we still have, uh,
the police costume ball

Saturday night.

- We do?
- Yeah.

- Did you forget?
- No. No.

Well, uh, yeah, kind of...

Well, uh, y-you know,
Megan's in town, you know

and I thought that, uh, well, maybe--

Well, um, maybe we could
make it a foursome.

How about Gibson from cybernetics?

- Gibson.
- Yeah.

Yeah, uh, that would,
uh make four of us.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Nah, he's not right for Megan.

No, listen, you two go alone.

Well, listen, I really don't wanna leave

you stuck on a Saturday--

Oh, don't worry, Barry,
it's no big deal.

Uh, Saturday was iffy at best anyway.

- Iffy.
- Yeah.

Yeah, uh, okay, uh, if
you're sure it's alright.

Listen, I've got to run,
um, have a great time.

- Okay, bye.
- Uh, bye.

Uh, hey, you forgot your...

...croissants.

You know, I hate to kick a man

when he's doing a good job of it himself

but although this is your day off

there's a stack of test results

they need your signature.

Oh, swell.

[Tony] That's good. Alright.

A little bit to the right.

And can you raise it up just--

Will you stop, please?

Oh! Murph, come on. Come on!

- What?
- You can tell me.

Just when I thought the
lobotomy was working...

How many ways can you misspell

"alleged perpetrator"
on one page?

Come on, let's drop these
on Garfield's desk

and we have the rest of
the day to ourselves.

Barry, Barry, you have got
to hear this one, man.

You've got to hear this--

Officers Murphy and, uh, Bellows

uh, Megan Lockhart.

I remember you last year

at the company fire, wasn't it?

How could I forget?

- Pleasure.
- Yeah, same here.

Barry, wait till you hear this.

Okay, Sherlock Junior here

every time he sees The
Flash, it's without me.

So now, he thinks I'm The Flash.

Murphy is always out of sight

whenever The Flash shows up.

- I made a chart.
- Oh, jeez.

Okay, "Flash sightings cross-indexed

with Officer Murphy's patrol log."

It's very interesting.

- I rest my case.
- Oh.

Pure speculation, Your Honor.

Pure speculation.

Well, now, Murph, it does seem

that you do protest too much.

You know, I saw The Flash once.

And I must say, it is very close.

- Those steely eyes.
- Yeah.

Officer Murphy

I'm proud to work with you.

And your secret is safe with all of us.

Oh, boy, you know, I would love

to have you guys as witnesses.

Perkins! Crenshaw.

We got a double homicide
at the DeSoto exit on 61.

[Barry] What's up, lieutenant?

Oh, some psycho named...

..."James Jesse."

He killed two state troopers last night

on the highway, and dumped the bodies

in the city limits.

- Those for me?
- Huh?

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

Nah, there's...

...a million in one
chance that he could be

in Central City.

Nah, he-he-he's miles away from here.

I know you're right. Um.

I mean, he, he has no reason at all

to believe that I'm here.

- Nah.
- I mean, none.

No reason at all.

Sure.

[James] In my darkest hours

arrayed against my greatest foes

you always stood by me, Prank

ever my faithful and
trustworthy sidekick.

What do you think?

Oh, Trickster, it's beautiful.

Right now, I'm not feeling too beautiful

because my mind is clouded

by The Flash's hypnotic powers.

The fiend!

But don't fret, Prank.

I'll fight to win you back.

Even if I have to lay
this city to waste.

Oh, Trickster, I love you.

And I you

with all my heart.

To the Trickster mobile.

I've been on my own since I was 15

standing up to the wise guys and pimps.

But I can't kick this feeling of dread.

It's got me running for my life.

Crooks I understand,
but this guy is nuts

and he thinks he's in love with me.

So I'll take care of you.

You can't be around all the time.

And I'm not big on other people

fighting my own battles.

I don't like the looks of this.

Citizens of Central City!

I am The Trickster

here to rescue you

from the menace known as The Flash.

Ah. Oh.

And to save the darling of my heart

from his fiendish affections.

Ta-ta, for now.

Barry, that voice.

It's Jesse.

I'm goin' after him.

Wait, look.

The finance company hired me

because Jesse missed his car payments.

And now he's got this
fatal attraction thing

for you and The Flash, great.

He's wanted for murder in six states

under six different names.

According to the FBI, James
Jesse's a role player.

A doctor in Seattle.

A lawyer in Des Moines.

A magician in Willow Haven.

A costume clown running
rampant in my town?

What next?

It's like The Flash draws
'em out of the woodwork.

Wait a minute.

You think The Flash

is responsible for the Trickster?

Circus suit.
High media profile.

Works outside the law.

Every loon in a three-mile radius

has got to have a case of costume envy.

Is Garfield right?

Am I responsible for The Trickster?

- How could you be?
- No, now, wait a minute.

Ever since I became The Flash
these eccentric criminals

have been comin' out of the woodwork.

The Trachmann, The ghost,
Gideon. Now this?

Maybe I should hang it up.

Stop blaming yourself.

Blame society.

Welcome to postmodern America.

Trickster's taking hostages
at Hecksapoppin's.

Ahem. Don't worry.

I'm sure Murphy's on the case.

I got to get this guy off my case

once and for all.

Not by yourself, you don't.

♪ Well ever since you left me ♪

♪ I'm in jail in my heart hey ♪

♪ I've been lookin' baby ♪

♪ For a brand new start hey ♪

♪ I'm just
a prisoner of love ♪♪

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Roman candles.

Yes. Yes.

Yes!

Itching powder.
Good, good, good.

Vanishing cream.

Oh, this is one terrific escape tool

let me tell you.

Let's see.

X-ray specs.

Total fraud.

No one's singing

and we know what happens

when we don't sing, don't we?

When your love is stolen from you

like that Flash stole mine

you've got to do everything you can

to win her back, right?

Right?

What do you know about love?

Honey bun.

You're still under his
power, aren't you?

Let him go, Jesse!

It's over.

Do I have to kill him to prove my love?

I hate it when he does that.

- Aah!
- Wow.

Are you okay?

I think I tore my knee.

- Oh, brother. Come on.
- Aah!

Marbles...

...and that laugh.

Not for the dead body in there.

- Yeow!
- Oh, I'm sorry. Did that sting?

Well, maybe that's why
I screamed in agony.

Here, next time, bite on this.

With your healing metabolism

and this salve's restorative properties

you'll be fine in a few hours.

What a deal, I wish I had that
kind of medical coverage.

Uh, thanks a lot, Tina.
I'm glad you were in the lab.

Well, it's not like I have
much of a social calendar.

Look, I'm really sorry to have gotten

you both involved in this.

What? Don't be silly.

If Jesse didn't see The Flash
as a threat to his ego

he wouldn't be giving Central City

hell as the Trickster.

Yeah, but that man in the novelty shop

died because of me.

Look, the question is, how
are we gonna stop him?

- We?
- Yes.

I mean, that's how it works, isn't it?

You work the streets,
and I work the lab.

I've got used to
troubleshooting Central City.

I kind of enjoy it.

Well, unless you've got a
giant whoopee cushion

I don't think S.T.A.R. Labs
is really up to this one.

Now, w-what's next? A-a high
speed search of the city? What?

Uh, I think you should let that leg heal

and I will do my own work.

What?

But it's The Flash Jesse's after.

Because of me.

I'm no damsel in distress.

I'm a detective.

I found you out, and I can find Jesse.

- But...
- I'll call you later.

Now, what's she trying to prove?

Maybe you should ask
yourself the same question.

What's that supposed to mean?

You can't be a knight
in shining red armor

for everybody every day.

Now, I have to go too.
I don't live here, you know.

- No line on the explosives.
- No.

Okay, what about the statue angle?

- Freddie Mercury?
- Not Freddie Mercury.

The God of speed. Now, where would
I get something like that?

[Barry] How about a
theatrical warehouse?

A theatrical warehouse. Right.

There's got to be a couple of dozen.

- How many?
- You heard me.

Give me all of 'em

even the closed ones.

Oh, come on. Come on.

What is the matter with you?

You okay, Bar?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I'm great.

- Here. Have a chip.
- No, thanks.

I'm not hungry.

Now, I am worried.
What's up, man?

Oh, I'm trying to access
interstate files on James Jesse.

Oh, come on.
What's really going on, Barry?

Ever since Megan came back to town

my life has been nuts.

- And now Tina's acting like--
- Oh, I see.

Why didn't you tell me it
was about babes, man?

I just don't have any idea what
either one of 'em wants from me.

Okay, okay.

Let Dr. Love thing set
you straight, alright?

You're not supposed to have any idea.

But look at it this way, man.

At least you're not
sublimating your sex drive

with food anymore, right?

- Barry Allen?
- Yeah.

Bob Endicott, FBI.

Hey, on the James Jesse
case, your chief tells me

you're attached to the investigation.

Yeah, I was just going over the files

from your office, um

this Jesse's a real character.

I'll say, he's the most
brilliant criminal mind

I've ever chased across 12 states.

You know, they don't even have

the San Antonio incident?

The guy was nearly elected mayor in '88.

Well, let's get down to brass tacks.

We're extremely concerned
about Miss Lockhart.

And my office is prepared to put
her under federal protection.

Well, I'm not sure she wants protection.

She's staying with me

so you can talk to her, if you want.

Yes, sir, lieutenant. What's up?

It's the Trickster.

He's left another love
letter for your girlfriend

by Parkhurst Alley.

Girlfriend.

Jesse, you are one sick pup.

Stand back! Stand back!

Hey, get down.

[Michael] We've already
got some burn victims.

The lunatic's in the truck

and I want the bomb squad here now.

Now.

Hey, watch out for that
yo-yo in the car.

He may have accomplices.

Go ahead, Murph, change
in to your outfit.

I won't tell anyone.

Will you stop with that long enough

so we can take out that Trickster.

You know, it hurts me
that you don't feel

you can trust me.

Bellows, if I hear one more word

about this I'm The Flash stuff, I'll...

You'll what, Murph?

What?

Your secret's safe with me, pal.

- Take it easy.
- Megan?

Come on.
She's not here, Allen.

- Come on...
- Down, Earl, he's a fed.

Well, I'm not exactly
sure why he's here.

Ah, well, I wanted to talk,
and your door was open.

Listen, you've got a
message on your machine.

[Megan on recorder]
Barry, I found Jesse's hideout

it's the old agitprop
theatrical warehouse'

on Margo Lane.

I'm sure she's in danger.

Then let's go.

I don't like this one bit, Allen.

She shouldn't be here.

She can take care of herself, Endicott.

- Barry?
- What'd I tell ya?

Megan, over here.

Oh, glad you could make it.

Who's that with you?

This is Federal Agent Endicott.

Federal agent, like hell!

Sweet dreams, Allen.

Jesse!

Still under the mind
control of the Flash.

I'd hoped my fireworks display

would distract him long
enough to break the spell.

Don't move, scum!

First The Flash.
Now this guy?

How many rivals must I tolerate?

I ask so little of you,
my faithless companion.

Jesse, don't.

Maybe we just need counseling.

As my loyal sidekick you have room

for but one man in your life!

Okay, I'll be your sidekick.
Just let him go.

I don't love him or The Flash.

- Do you love me?
- Yes, I love you.

- And you hate him?
- He means nothing to me.

Then let's kill him.

Oh!

Barry!

- Who's there?
- lt's me.

What happened to you?

I just took an impromptu dip
in the Trickster's aquarium.

I'll be right back.

But what about Megan?

Jesse's got her.
They could be anywhere.

Well, we've got to do something.

Yeah, but I don't even
know where to start.

The Trickster thinks she's
his costumed sidekick

so he probably hasn't hurt her yet.

Well, I hope to God you're right.

I'm glad to see you're so concerned.

Oh, come on, Barry, I like Megan.

It's just, before she came along

I was the only one that
knew you were The Flash.

It was our secret.

But if things are starting to happen

between you and Megan, then--

Hey, hey, hey, listen.

Whatever happens...

...it's not gonna get in the
way of our friendship.

I knew that.

I guess I just wanted
to hear you say it.

Now, we've got to think logically.

How do we handle The Trickster?

Oh!

That's it. That's it.

What we have to do is
not think logically.

And play the Trickster's
game right back at him.

I'm gonna call him out.

"The Flash challenges The Trickster

"to a clash of titans.

Infantino hotel, tonight."

In the middle of a police costume ball?

The Trickster's ego is
way out of control.

I'm sure he'll show, and
I couldn't assemble

more cops in one place if I tried.

Now, what was that about
my not saving the world

every day in my bright
and shiny red armor?

Sometimes you're the exception
that proves the rule.

Well, call me if you hear
anything from Murph, huh?

10-4 and out.

"The Flash challenges the Trickster."

Wow! What a great idea, Murph.

Didn't you, damn it, Bellows,
didn't you hear me?

Wow, the system takes a real beating

being The Flash, huh?
Look at you.

Look, I was strung up
by a noose back there

then I was sucker punched by a...

Oh, forget it.

Listen, we got to pick up the ladies

and go to that costume party, come on.

Boy, do I need a drink.

Anything you say, Murph.

Can you believe the nerve of this guy?

Oh, he's alive.

Though we are sworn enemies, Prank

The Flash fears and respects my power

and needs the might of the Central City

police to back him up.

I am not Prank, and this is not some

Saturday morning cartoon.

I will kill The Flash.

Freeing you from this mental enslavement

once and for all.

And then

my dearest, sweetest Prank

we can really get down and
celebrate our long-delayed

but eagerly awaited honeymoon.

[Arthur] Lieutenant, Arthur
Kline, Nightside News.

Can we get a comment on the
impending confrontation

between Central City's
costumed citizens?

This is no joke, Kline.

People could get hurt.

And how come you guys from the press

are always looking for trouble?

Why not pump the good cause
behind this shindig?

Because you and I both
know you would've sold

more tickets if you
announced the main event.

Come on, lieutenant, who's
the odds-on favorite

The Flash or The Trickster?

I've got heavily armed men positioned

all around this hall, if
those masked maniacs

think they're gonna crash this party

they got another think comin'.

Hey, look! It's The Flash!

Where?

Murph, what are you doin'?

I can no longer live a lie, Bellows.

That's right, Mr. and Mrs. America

and all the ships at sea.

Michael Francis Murphy is The Flash.

Oh, no. Jeez.

Officer Murphy

please remember that
you are a policeman.

Yes, sir.
It was a joke, sir.

I have no sense of humor tonight.

That's brilliant, man.

No one will ever believe
you're The Flash.

Can I ask you a serious
question, Bellows?

Sure.

Did your wonder horse
kick you in the head?

Wonder horse?

That's a nice outfit, man.

Thank you very much, Mendez.

- Thank you.
- Unique and original too.

You're only number 11.

Huh?

Remember, my dear

try not to breathe.

And now, for our final conflict

you christened miscreant.

Your days in Central City are numbered.

I'm not The Flash, you dipstick.

A decoy?

Pathetic!

Nobody tricks The Trickster!

We need some air out here.

Something stinks.

I knew you were coming,
so I baked a cake.

Oops.

Don't know my own strength.

And now, here's something

we hope you really like.

Slimedog!

Now I get it!

This isn't the real Prank.

You've substituted a robot in her place.

I can cut her and she won't bleed.

I double-dare you.

Enough!

I'm sick of this cartoon crap.

Magic's never been my strong suit.

But juggling is a snap.

Now, that's all, folks.

Get that out of my face!

What's the matter with you?
You'll regret this!

Put that masked maniac in there
and get him out of here.

I don't know, Murph

I feel like a fool.

I saw you and The Flash
in the same room.

What? Really?

He collared The Trickster.

Don't tell me you didn't see that.

All that tear gas, I
couldn't see a thing.

Oh, that figures.
Well, anyway, you can't be him.

Okay, but if The Flash is so fast

why couldn't he be in
two places at once?

That's my costume!

I'm The Flash!

Won't somebody listen to me?
I'm The Flash!

You morons! I'm The Flash!

This never should have happened.

Barry, The Trickster wasn't your fault

any more than he was mine.

Hey, maybe you were struck by lightning

so you could stop people like that.

And maybe not.

Well, look at it this way.

It's a dirty job, but hey, babe

at least you got the suit.

Yeah, swell.

Life is so weird.

You ready to go home?

We got to talk.

Talk?

Barry, I really like you.

More than a lot.

More than I want to.

Yeah, well, I'm crazy about you.

I know, and it scares me to death.

- I got to go.
- No, you don't.

Trust me on this one, Barry.

A year ago, I would have stuck around.

And then, one day you would wake up

and I would be gone, and
I can't do that to you.

Well, don't, okay?
Don't do that to me.

Listen--

I'll write you from San Francisco.

How often?

Often enough to keep you interested.

Listen, let's go back to my apartment

and we'll talk about this and...

...say goodbye, at least.

Okay.

Okay.

I do have to change.

I mean, this Harlequin bondage stuff

does not suit me.

No, I don't know, I kinda like it.

You would.

Besides... I'm in the
market for a sidekick.

Flashette?

Aw!
