[continuing. stop worrying, Scott.]

And I'll make your day even better: you don't have to kiss me.

[extremities]

...

Okay, how does it work then.

[getintomyplants]

Just keep looking like a very sad puppy.

[extremities]

I do not look like a sad puppy.

[getintomyplants]

You look exactly like one. But a cute one.

[extremities]

That's ... very kind of you.

[getintomyplants]

What can I say? I aim to please.

So here's how it goes, Scott. You ask nicely not to have to kiss me, and if I think you mean it, I tell the mistletoe to go away.

[extremities]

Please can I not kiss you? It's not--I love Jean.

[getintomyplants]

[watching him for a moment, and then raising her hand and clenching her fist.

...and look - the mistletoe is drawing back away from them.]

You're safe from me.

[extremities]

That's not what I meant. I already know I'm safe with you.

[getintomyplants]

[okay that gets a quizzical look]

You're a strong man. Almost no one says no to kissing Poison Ivy.

[extremities]

I will. I don't like breaking my promises. No matter what they are.

[getintomyplants]

You made a promise to her?

[extremities]

Isn't that what a marriage vow is?

[getintomyplants]

Usually they don't include 'even if we get stuck in summer camp and there's mistletoe that makes us kiss people'.

At least mine didn't.

[extremities]

Regardless, I like to keep my promises.

[getintomyplants]

Mmmmmmm.

I could make you something to keep it away. It wouldn't last long, but you might get a couple of days out of it.

[extremities]

Really? That would be great.

[getintomyplants]

I'll bring it to you. Say the day after tomorrow. It'll be a nice challenge.

And then you can say thank you politely, and tell Jean I didn't lay a finger on you.

[extremities]

[frowns]

Why would you? You're not interested in me.

[getintomyplants]

Why would I what? Help you? Hurt you?

[extremities]

Hurt me. You wouldn't do that.

[getintomyplants]

You're very sure of that, aren't you?

[extremities]

Yes.

[getintomyplants]

Why, Scott?
