[ stop. wait a minute. ]

-- Are you saying he is actually from space?

[animated]

That is what I'm saying, yes. If you want the full story, though, you'll have to get it from him. It's not really mine to tell.

[blahnik]

I understand. That's… Huh.

I wish I could say that's the strangest thing I've heard. But I still think I'm living with the top contender.

[ and it turns out the eighty-year-old wizard sits higher on that list too. ]

[animated]

[ Charlie just chuckles ] Remind me to introduce you to my boyfriend one of these days.

[blahnik]

Is that an invitation?

[animated]

I guess it could be. You’re welcome to come by if you wanted. Fair warning though, we have a lot of animals. And by that I mean two teenage boys, but we also have a few cats and a couple of dogs.

[blahnik]

I'll leave Ripley at home.

[animated]

Probably a good idea. Koro and Krem are probably smart enough to keep their distance, but I have my doubts about the rest.

[blahnik]

I have two nephews. I know how that goes.

[ GENTLY EXASPERATED. ]

[animated]

Koro and Krem are actually a dog and a cat. The teenagers would be all up in Ripley's face, I'm sure.

Can your nephews get out of hand sometimes?

[blahnik]

[ a sigh. ] Just a little. They're good kids.

Well, Zack's not much of a kid anymore, but tell that to my sister.

[animated]

I'm sure no matter how old they get, they'll always be mom's little boys.

We've got the two teenagers and one preteen. Ken- he's the twelve-year-old- is probably the most adult-like out of all of us.

[blahnik]

[ somehow, she can believe it. ]

I'd be glad to meet them. In the meantime, I have to feed a dinosaur.

Take care, Charlie.

[animated]

You too Claire. Call me if you need anything.
