How do you think Harley and Brick are doing these days?

Mercer: Oh, she's really mysterious lately. Not herself at all (He shakes his head no)

Cade: What do you mean? (He shoots a look to Mercer on the interview couch that he doesn't know what he's talking about) She seems fine to me.

Mercer: Ever since Halloween, she seems different. (Mercer is serious no smile slips)

Cade: (sighs) There can't be anything wrong, there can't be. (he winces) Brick has been by her for a very long time now. He cares about her, so much. He's always worried she's eating the wrong thing. He follows her around like he might be putting everything in a food diary or something. (Cade shrugs)

Mercer: Maybe that's the problem. She doesn't need that. She needs a boyfriend. (Cade's eyes are lit)

Cade: What are you getting at? (Cade looks at him out of the corner of his eye.)

Mercer: It's just (he grits a grin) Brick's her boyfriend ..and you know, just do boyfriend things. Leave her alone.

Cade: She has dibetes. I would be worried too. (he swells a frown as if he has a lot to worry about Mercer).

Mercer: (Mercer looks up a the ceiling to keep from rolling his eyes) This isn't about us. (He glares back at Cade)

Cade: See, we can't have perfectly romantic relationships. We can't always make the other person happy. It's getting through the little things before they become big things.
