"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

She had interesting ideas. About us. And the nature of our friendship.

Ugh. Chilton. What had you been saying to her?

Nothing of note. "Jeff and I are going to the bar tonight"?

She doesn't like me to have male friends, perhaps.

You sure you weren't telling her about how good looking I am? I seriously wouldn't judge an observation like that.

I can assure you that did not cross my lips. Friendship, especially platonic friendship, is something of a new concept for Raina.

Pretty new for you too, huh?

I am more willing to embrace it for what it is.

What do you see it as, Fred?

We are men of similar tastes and similar personality traits who enjoy similar things. That seems harmless enough, doesn't it?

Totally harmless. You got many other friends, Chilts?

Obviously I do. I have Will Graham, and Reggie Mantle and Matthew Lin.

[Two of which were employees, and one of which was a former patient.]

And Kanaya Maryam.

[Also a patient. And a teenage girl.]

And Bela and I did brunch.

That's a pretty sad list.

And it's what, twice the size as yours?

Oh, you have NO idea of the people I know, Chilts.

Is it because I think they possibly exist, and in actuality they do not?

No. It's because I know far more people than you'd probably want me to know. I get around.

All talk until you produce names. Trust me, I am an expert on talking.

That's not gonna happen. Just look at how popular I am on the network and you'll get an idea. I cant discuss specifics though.

So you're only committing halfway to this delusion? I also talk with a good many people on the Network, Jeff, doesn't mean there's mutual affection involved.

Lucifer and Will, right? And Bela?

Sure. I know Matthew too. And Mike. Raina, Kitty, April, Abigail, basically the whole of that household, Mitch, Ray and a bunch of others. I'm just a likeable kinda guy.

[None of this is information that can't be found on public network. There's definitely a few names he's leaving out.]

I also know all of those people except for Mike -- who sounds unprofessional -- and Ray, who seems to have lost his mond.

Still a bit sad, Jeff. Can't you do better?

Hey Mike is a fuckin saint and I won't have a bad word said against him. Can't we both just accept that we're seeing other people and allow this to be an open friendship?

I can accept the terms of an open friendship, yes.

Do you need anything else for our open friendship romp? Maybe one bottle of wine isn't enough.

I'm open to suggestions that don't involve dicks.

You protest that a lot. Perhaps too much.
