Well, look who's back.

Us again.

Hey, is it Halloween or is it Christmas?

[CHUCKLES DRILY]

- Come on in.
- Thank you.

Phone's still busy.

What the f*ck is going on over there?

Johnny's probably freaking
out wondering where I am.

Professor Damon, we're so sorry

to inconvenience you like this.

Not at all. I'm happy for the company.

Say, as long as I've got you here,

- there's something I'd like to show you.
- Oh, God. Here it comes.

Just stare at the balls.
It'll be better that way.

It's the opening
chapter of my next book.

Just finished it yesterday.

Would you like to read it?

Oh, my God. I'd be honored.

Fabulous.

Don't let the typos throw you.

He's a dyslexic narrator.

Ted, why don't you and I play some

billiards while I nervously
await Blaire's verdict?

[MOUTHING WORDS]

Welcome to my billiard room.

All right, buddy, you and
me got to have a little talk.

I'd love to.

How about I freshen your drink first?

Fine.

Whoops.

Hello, Ted.

Uh, what... what's
going on there, buddy?

I want to make love to you.

Oh.

I believe forthright honesty
is the only approach when you

have feelings for somebody.

[SOFT MUSIC]

I've been waiting all my
life for someone like you.

Your furry curves,
your boundless whimsy.

It... it has bounds.

I've been going crazy since you
walked out my door tonight.

I want us to have
illicit congress together.

You know, Blaire is really into you.

I don't care.

It's you I want.

Yeah, I...

I don't date other bears.

I don't have to be a bear.

I could be a pony if you prefer,

or a bird with colorful plumage
and a functioning cloaca.

Yeah, boy, you know, it
just wouldn't work out.

I don't care what people would think.

If I could take you on
my arm to faculty events,

I wouldn't be embarrassed.

Yeah, that's not the holdup for me.

I see.

So your answer is no.

Hey, Professor, do you
mind if I use your bathr...

Blaire.

Any thoughts about the pages you read?

Great.

Uh, they... they were great.

And the homage to Tennyson?

Did that play it all?

Uh, fine.

We'll let ourselves out.

Hey.

You know, if we could just
kind of keep this quiet.

I have a reputation as a
guy who doesn't do this.

Sure, of course.

On one condition, you make Blaire

your research assistant.

That's okay, Ted.

No, no. No, no, Blaire, no.

You're wicked smart. You work hard.

- You deserve it.
- He's right, Blaire.

You've got a great analytical mind.

I'm going to have to sleep on that.

Oh, and one more thing,
we're going to need your bike.

Will, okay? He's... he's a freak.

He's crazy. Can't you get him to leave?

If you want him to leave,

You've been all sad. Why?

Because your teddy bear is gone?

That's not how you do life.

Hey, you ever need me,

you scratch my name into your arm.

Never tried it.

Hi, Matty.

What do you want?

Hey, listen, I felt really bad about
Clementine giving you that bite.

And I wanted to make it up to you.
