Pearl (plops down next to the sofa as Kelly watches the news while the dogs wrestle in the living room): Kell!
Kelly (buried in pillows): What?
Pearl: Listen, hon, nobody's seen ya for since -- uh, well, I don't remember rightly. Why doncha just head on out an' enjoy a night on the town?
Kelly: What if I have to join some temp agency because I can't get some shifts at the clinic? My cellphone company waited two months to tell me they never deducted June's bills. Took the dogs to the groomers and they came home and rolled in the mud. Oh, and Pearl? I fear losing my purpose.
Pearl (slaps her leg and stands): All right, that there cuts it! We're a-goin' out an' havin' ourselves a jim-dandy of a good time!
Kelly: Babysitting the dogs. Must never leave the house.
Pearl (slaps the pillows away): When I say 'we', I mean everyone, hon! *sings* There is life outside your house, hon. I know it's hard to conceive. But there's life outside your house, hon. An' you're only gonna see it if ya leave! *stands Kelly up forcefully* There is cool stuff ta do, but it won't come ta you! An' besides, hon, you ain't all that poor! There is life outside your house, hon -- but ya gotta open that door!
Kelly (struggling): I am not getting involved in a musical!
Pearl: Oh, yes you are! *yells* Spike! She's resistin'! *sings* There is life outside --.
Spike: Dere is life outside --.
Kelly (struggling in Pearl's hands): Yer takin' off the hide!
Pearl and Spike: There is life outside your house, Kell! A great big world, go take a peek!
Spike (points to Newsie as they travel): Dere's a bear 'bout ta die --.
Pearl (shakes head): Nah, it's that Newsie guy.
Both: And a weird girl selling hats out on the street! Sorry, no thanks! We could go to the zoo --.
Kelly (shakes head): Been there, done that! No, thank you!
Pearl and Spike: We'll fry some eggs in the parking lot!
Kelly: Ew. Not.
Spike: Dere is life outside yer house, Toots!
Kelly (sighs): Well, I guess I'll give it a shot!
Pearl and Spike (nod happily): There is life outside your house, Kell. Oh, you never know what's around the bend, you could win the lotto ... or meet a friend!
Spike (winks at Kelly): Do ya wanna feel special? I can see dat you do. I can make ya my special -- for I can cook swell too!
