It is a pleasure to meet you.

Gonna introduce me, Vir?

Ah, I know I must look
a little odd right now.

Well, uh,
I guess it's all relative.

A-actually, it's relatives.

I'm here to pick up some women.

You'll have better luck at bars.

- No, no, I-I mean--
- Just kidding.

Oh.

So who are these women?
Uh, diplomats?

Uh, Ambassador Mollari's
three wives.

A harem.
Oh, the lucky dog.

- You are Vir?
- Yes.

I am Timov, daughter of Algul.

You will take me to my husband.

I was told
there would be three of you.

Who is this? No, never mind.

I said you will bring me
to my husband.

Is your hearing deficient?

- No, but I do have--
- Then let's be off.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

Should have put the emphasis
on pleasure.

- She'd love you then.
- Pleasure?

- 'Vir?'
- Yes, madam.

'Look, I told you
back on the transport'

watch where the hell
you're going.

I'm tired of you constantly..

Jeez, I'm sorry.
What was I saying?

Absolutely nothing.

Right.

- His name was Stoner?
- Yeah.

Ah, it doesn't ring a bell.

The customs official
who passed him through

recognized him immediately
from my description.

So I ran a check on him through
channels. Nothing extraordinary.

Freelance navigator,
part-time trader.

I mean, there's hundreds,
thousands of guys

like him around.

So what's the problem?

I don't know.
That's the problem.

See, so much of what I do,
it's gut instinct.

I see things, little things,
don't even notice they're there

but they put me on guard.

I just hate not knowing why.

- You wanted to see me, captain?
- Oh, yes, Miss Winters.

Uh, by the way, captain,
for sometime now

I've been meaning to mention
that I think you've settled

nicely into your new duties.

Well, thank you, Miss Winters.

Only a few bumps
along the way so far.

Then again, the day is young.

So how can I be of service?

There's some rumors floating
from the Psi-Corps net.

I was hoping
you could confirm or deny.

Uh, Garibaldi, we'll discuss

this Stoner fellow later,
alright?

Stoner?

Matt Stoner?

Yeah, yeah,
that was his name, Matthew.

He's not here on Babylon 5?

Is that a problem?

- Oh.
- You know him?

Only in the most
unpleasant sense.

I was married to him.

The Babylon project
was our last

best hope for peace.

A self-contained world
5 miles long

located in neutral territory.

A place of commerce
and diplomacy

for a quarter of a million
humans and aliens.

A shining beacon in space

all alone in the night.

It was the dawn
of the third age of mankind.

The year the great war
came upon us all.

This is the story of the last
of the Babylon stations.

The year is 2259.

The name of the place
is Babylon 5.

'And then he said,
"That's not my leg.'

'That's my air hose."'

Barkeep, another round
for all my friends.

He'll be here shortly,
I swear.

He's probably at a meeting
or something.

He drags me out here

gives no reason
why he wants to see me.

What's he hiding, Vir?
Tell me.

I won't bite, Vir.

With all due respect, madam

that's not what I've heard.

Alright, that one time.

It was, it was twice.

What has he told you about me?
Anything good?

What is there to tell?

Daggair.

My, what a surprise.

- A pleasant one.
- I wouldn't go that far.

Madame Daggair, my pardons.

This is unconscionable.
I-I was at customs.

I don't know
how I could have missed you.

Believe me, Vir,
if you knew her as I do

you wouldn't miss her a bit.

Oh, Timov, Timov.

Why do you always try to draw me

into your little
verbal fencing matches?

Because I don't have
a real sword handy.

Attention,
the Earth History Exhibition

will be closing at 1700 hours.

You left my office
in quite a hurry.

We didn't have much
of a chance to talk.

- I was not in the mood.
- Hmm, I gathered that.

Are you now?

Look, captain, I know
you're in charge of this station

but to be blunt,
this isn't your concern.

No, you, you're right,
Miss Winters.

As station commander,
this isn't my concern.

But as one person
who sees another in pain

someone whom he considers
a friend

or at the very least an ally

'I just want you to know that,
uh, I'm willing to listen.'

'Yes, what?'

Ambassador Delenn,
you asked to see me?

'Are you alone?'

- Yes.
- 'Come in, quickly.'

Commander,
I want you to understand

I acquired
human characteristics

to bring your people
and mine closer together.

'To symbolize our mutuality.'

It is supposed to be
a dignified inspiring transition

for both humans and Minbari.

So will you, please, explain
to me why this-this-this..

- Hair.
- ...refuses to cooperate?

I had no problems
with it at first

but as time passed, it--

It's pretty brittle.

What are you washing it with?

Washing?

Yes, you know, when you bathe.

We use a chemical compound
that strips away

the outer layer
of the epidermal tissue.

It is symbolic
of being reborn each day.

And you've been using this
on your hair?

Yes.

Have you considered
just immersing your body

in water
to remove the sweat and--

We do not perspire
in the same way you do.

While we sleep,
we secrete a fluid--

Ambassador...maybe I should get
somebody else to deal with this.

Do you know what to do?

Well, yes, I mean..

My mother used to do my hair.
But I'm sure--

This is most embarrassing.

- If you could just--
- I have duties.

Please.

I trust you.

- C&C, this is Ivanova.
- 'Online.'

Please inform the captain,
barring an emergency..

...I may be a while.

Oh, boy.

In your first year of training
in Psi-Corps Academy

you're assigned
to an advanced trainee

who oversees your development.

Matt was mine.

He was charming, sympathetic.

Understand me, captain,
the things I learned to do

for Psi-Corps
were and are very difficult.

Matt made the transition easier
at first.

Then the Corps decided that
we were genetically compatible.

The odds of us
producing a child of equal

or greater telepathic abilities
were substantial.

It all happened so fast.

How long were you married?

Just long enough to realize
it was a mistake.

Psi-Corps isn't exactly
forthcoming with its membership

but what information
I did turn up indicated

that Stoner wasn't Corps.

He left.

Shortly afterward, Psi-Corps
had the marriage annulled.

I thought the only way
anyone left Psi-Corps

was feet first.

Matt had connections.

He had..

I don't know what he had.

No one in authority
wanted to talk about it.

'So now that you've been here
for a while'

do you feel
you've settled in, captain?

Why does everyone
keep asking me that?

Oh, merely polite interest.

Ah, I'm sorry, I..

I guess
I'm reading too much into it

but people seem to be implying

that I shouldn't get
too comfortable.

Oh, nonsense. It's not as if

anyone expects you
to, oh, vanish overnight

under mysterious circumstances
to a strange Minbari post.

Why, that would be unprecedented
in this station's history.

- I get the message, ambassador.
- Do you?

I still don't understand
what that was all about.

Something's going on
if you ask me.

Whenever these bizarre
and odd things occur

it gives me pain right here.

Ah, my good Captain Sheridan.

- All settled in?
- All settled, ambassador.

And my dear G'Kar,
how are you this glorious day?

We're in a space station,
ambassador.

One day is much like another.

That, my friend, is very much

subject to point of view.

And from my point of view,
this is a most glorious day.

G'Kar, you are looking

in particularly
excellent health today.

Whatever it is you're doing,
keep it up.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

- Can I get you anything?
- Yes.

You can get me out of here.

Who does Londo think he is
to keep us sitting about?

He probably thinks
he's our husband

and that we as dutiful wives
will wait

with breathless anticipation
for his arrival.

Is that not right, Vir?

Well, um, actually, it's--

You are joking, Daggair.

Your problem, Timov, is that
you've never known your place.

My place?

You once threatened
to break a vase over his head.

Well, that, that was
the impetuousness of youth.

That was last month.

Daggair,
what are you playing at?

Well, well, well.

And here you are.

And here you are finally.
Where have you been?

Affairs of state, my dear.

State of inebriation, I'd wager.

Londo, you're looking fit.

More handsome
than I would have remembered.

Oh, well.

What's going on here?

Londo, what's all this about?

You have no idea
why I've summoned you all here?

No, and I think
it's about time--

Wait. Where's Mariel?

- Vir?
- I don't know.

I-I was expecting her
and-and-and she didn't show up--

Probably we should wait
for Mariel to arrive--

No, I will not tolerate this
any longer.

The secret
of our marriage's success, Londo

is our lack of communication.

You have jeopardized
that success

and I would know why.

Very well.
I wanted to save the surprise

but clearly you have forgotten

that tomorrow
is the 30th anniversary

of my ascension day.

- It is?
- It is?

Yes.
The emperor has not forgotten.

I personally received
a congratulatory note

from the royal court.

My star is rising

in case you are unaware.

I was unaware, yes.

I have little patience
for the vagaries

of politics and social climbing.

That's always been more
Daggair's field of endeavor.

'Hasn't it, Daggair?'

Now the emperor
is a busy fellow, of course.

No time to shop
unlike my beloved wives

who always find the time
to run up my credit accounts.

In any event,
he wished to give me a gift

in honor of my service
to our people.

And the gift he gave me was

any one wish
within his power to grant.

And what was your wish,
my sweet?

A divorce!

An easement

'from the arranged marriages'

to my three wives.

However..

...the emperor requested
that I keep one of you

to be by my side
for future state affairs.

So by tomorrow, I will choose

one of the three of you
to remain my wife.

The other two will be gone.

Gone!

You'll receive no further money

beyond the vast amounts
of my savings

you've already diverted
to other accounts.

You'll have no title

and you'll have to do
without the privileges

'to which
you have become accustomed.'

A small repayment
for the many years of joy

'you have given me.'

You knew about this. You knew!

Oh, my dear, I've been caught

completely unawares,
I assure you.

- Hmm.
- Petulant, isn't she?

Oh, well, breeding will tell.

A bitch like you
would know about breeding.

Oh, ladies, ladies, please.

Continue.

Vir, if you wouldn't mind.

Yes.

Enter.

Hello, Londo. Miss me?

So tell me
what you think it's worth.

Opening offer or final bid?

Are you here for trade
or simply to waste my time?

'I've seen a number
of Centauri artifacts..'

...but nothing like this.

Care to tell me how you got it?

After all, I wouldn't wanna
think someone in Babylon 5

was dealing in stolen goods.

- And you are?
- Garibaldi, head of security.

Oh, so if I'm feeling insecure

hugging you
will make me feel better?

Certification
of my participation

in an authorized
archeological dig.

List of contents are there.

You'll find this little item
among them.

It's all quite legitimate,
officer.

I can help you
with the big words

if you're having trouble.

While he's assessing its value

why don't you and I
have a little chat in private?

Ambassador, we've received
an invitation to..

Yes, Lennier?

An invitation to?

A celebration
for Ambassador Mollari.

The 30th anniversary
of his ascension.

That's significant?

For a Centauri, oh, yes.

Lennier, we will accept,
of course.

I will convey that message.

Anything else?

Is that painful?

Actually, it's oddly relaxing.

You've been fairly busy,
haven't you, Mr. Stoner?

Your records have you
all over the place.

Wouldn't be trying to stay
one step ahead of someone..

...or perhaps
involved in some shady dealings?

Do you treat all new arrivals
to Babylon 5 this way

or is this..

...personal?

Talia Winters
is a friend of mine.

Is she here?

Small galaxy, isn't it?

You're gonna pretend
you didn't know?

- Did she tell you all about me?
- No.

Would you like me to tell you
all about her?

Is that it?

What she likes to hear

where she likes to be touched.

Don't push it.

The little noises she makes.

Does she cry out or sigh softly?

Shut...up.

I thought you wanted me to talk.

Make up your mind, officer.

Any more questions, officer..

...or am I free to go?

If Talia Winters
so much as breathes a word

that you've been harassing her

you'll be spaced so fast

you'll think
you were born in a vacuum.

Hmm.

'I'll be keeping an eye on you.'

Use both eyes. You'll need them.

- Excuse me.
- Hmm?

I seem to have gotten separated

during a tour
my husband was giving.

Oh, you must be one
of Ambassador Mollari's wives.

I'd heard you were here.

I'm Captain John Sheridan.

- And I am--
- Mariel!

There you are.

Making new friends...again?

Captain,
a moment of your time, please.

Still the iron claw
in the velvet glove, Mariel?

Getting your claws
into someone else?

Timov, I love you
even if you do not.

Ha!

Be careful.

I should have warned you.

On Earth,
you have these creatures

insects attracted to flames?

Uh, yes, moths.
Uh, they're drawn to flames

and bright lights
and get burned.

Mariel is drawn to men of power
in that same way

but trust me, she burns them.

We'll talk later.

Hello, puddin'.

Glad to see me?

Not a word for your ex?

Not one syllable?

Why have you come here?

You never were a big believer
in coincidence.

We had something once, Talia.

You had something, not we.

And it's nothing
I want any part of.

Not anymore.

I'll add it
to the list of things

you don't want any part of.

Like Psi-Corps.

'But then I forget.'

Anyone who's telepathic
doesn't have that option.

Except you.

You'd love to find out
how I did it, wouldn't you?

How I got out?

Yes.

Anyone can.

All you have to do is lose
your telepathic abilities.

Oh, that's all.

I did it.

What?

They have no hold on me.

I could arrange for them
to have no hold on you either.

You'd be out of Psi-Corps,
Talia.

You'd be free..

...and we could be together.

Talia.
I spoke to your ex-husband.

I, uh, warned him off you.
If he bothers you at all--

Please, keep out of this.

It's not your concern.

- I-I feel it is.
- Feel differently.

Enter.

- Oh.
- Londo.

I'm not like the others.

- You know that.
- Yes.

I've always been givin',
passionate.

Goodness knows
I've been passionate.

No one can compare to you.

And how many opportunities

have you taken
for comparison, hmm?

There's been no one but you,
I swear.

And I think you'll find out
there's no one for you

but me.

Let's let Londo decide that
for himself.

Both of us..

...together?

If it pleases Londo,
it pleases me.

No.

No, this isn't right.

Timov should be here too.

Do you seriously expect me

to become involved
in your sexual Olympics?

They're merely expressing
their feelings for me.

I can do that.

- You haven't changed.
- You have.

You've devolved.

Uh, Miss Winters.

Can I help you?

I was rude to you yesterday
and I thought that..

Well, I'm sorry.

Ah, it's okay. No problem.

I wanted everything
settled between us

since it's likely
I'll be leaving Babylon 5.

Uh, reassignment?

Actually, I'll be leaving
with Matt most likely.

Why?

Apparently, the Corps began
experimenting on telepaths

back when we were
still at the academy.

'Matt volunteered.'

'But instead of strengthening
his abilities'

the drug scrambled
his neural pathways

and almost killed him.

When he woke up, he found
he could no longer read minds.

He says he can replicate
the treatment.

- If he could do that for me--
- Come on. Are-are you crazy?

- Talia--
- No, Michael. I'm-I'm tired.

I'm tired of-of learning things
about people I don't wanna know.

I'm tired of having them
shrink away from me

because of what
I might find out.

And I'm tired of being
a part of an organization

that scares the hell out of me.

How can I help you?

And also be aware
that the Markabs

have their day
of high fasting today.

Unfortunately, they tend
to try and sneak food

when the other Markabs
aren't looking.

'Which can lead
to the occasional scuffle'

if a priest catches them.

Well, be sure to alert security
to keep a weather eye out.

Already done, sir.

And lastly, the party
honoring Ambassador Mollari's

day of ascension is tonight.

All attendees must be barefoot.

- Barefoot?
- Barefoot.

Dar G'Kar!

Ambassador G'Kar.

Wearing shoes, Ambassador G'Kar?

You are aware of the level
of insult that represents.

Indeed.

Do you take offense,
ambassador?

Oh, no, not at all.

Nothing is too good
for my esteemed Narn colleague.

Oh.

Oh, I love doing that to him.

Ambassador, you look lovely.

Thank you, Mr. Garibaldi.

And you look...distressed,
actually.

In our language,
seh'lick sakar.

Soul sick.

You know, it's funny.

I met this woman

and I took to her immediately.

Then I met this guy
who had hurt her

and instantly I hated him.

We Minbari believe,
as do some humans

that souls travel together.

Some groups of souls are drawn
onto the other in life

to relive good relationships
from the past.

And if possible
to make right the bad ones.

You're saying
that these other people and I

run into each other
lifetime after lifetime

because our souls have some sort
of cosmic sewing circle going?

Commander Ivanova.
Thank you, commander.

Now, what..

What is this?

A deck of cards

from my dear friend Lennier.

And I marked them
exactly as you requested.

Keep your voice down.

And..

- Now what is this?
- It's from me.

In a way, it's from all of us.

Ah!

Medlab, this is Sheridan.

I need an emergency team fast.

'Right away, captain.'

His metabolism
is accelerating exponentially.

Brain waves
are all over the place.

Can you create an antitoxin?

Well, not before
he literally burns himself out.

Transfusion might do it

but we don't have enough
of his type at the blood bank

and we've never been any good
synthesizing Centauri blood.

Alright, I'll check in
with Garibaldi.

See if he's learned anything
else about that artifact.

If his condition changes,
let me know.

Of course.

I didn't know.
I swear I didn't--

Oh, be quiet.
I'm sick of your whining.

You do realize
that he's not made

his divorce decree official yet.

If he dies..

...our futures are secure.

You can face him in his bed
or his deathbed

with equal calm.

I am what I was made..

...by my father, by Londo

by society.

Breeding will tell.

I didn't know it was dangerous.

I've handled it a hundred times.

Centauri metabolism
must set it off.

Well, you can explain it
to the magistrate.

I'll explain it in hell.

What's up, captain?

I just came from Medlab.

His condition's
tearing him apart.

You must know something
about this artifact.

I just helped dig it up
and dust it off.

I don't plan on forming a
long-term relationship with it.

You dug it up where?

An abandoned Centauri colony
in Sector 127.

Brilliant.

Did it occur to you to ask
why the Centauri abandoned

that sector in the first place?

'It's because they were
driven out by the Narns.'

'Narns fight dirty.'

They probably rigged
all kinds of traps

and this was probably
one of them.

Mm. Could be.

Which means, I didn't ask
nearly enough money for it.

Oh, well, easy come, easy go.

- Can I go now?
- No.

I'm gonna check with G'Kar
to see if he knows anything

about this, and if by any chance
Londo doesn't survive

you can be sure I'll find
something to charge you with.

Negligence,
transporting dangerous material.

Sure. Why not? Go for broke.

Hey, how about I call you
an idiot in public

and you can convict me
for revealing state secrets?

Remarkably unconcerned,
wouldn't you say?

Yeah, nobody's that cool
under pressure

unless they got an ace
up their sleeve.

Find out what it is, Michael.

Then see what you can do
about Londo.

Dr. Franklin?

- Yes.
- About Londo.

Well, I'm afraid there's been
no change in his condition.

I know.

It may interest you to know that

Londo and I
do have one thing in common.

The same blood type.

Well, why didn't you
tell me this before?

I was deciding
what to do about it.

Well, he's dying.

We all die, doctor,
sooner or later.

As for Londo

'after everything he's done,
I would take'

'some small pleasure
in letting him die.'

But whatever
you may think of me, doctor

I have some principles
that even 20 years with Londo

can't erase.

I do not like to win
my battles this way.

I find it
vaguely unsatisfying.

'So you may have
your transfusion, doctor'

on one condition.

He must never know I did this.

I don't think
either of us could stand

the awkwardness
of false gratitude.

I can live with that. This way.

Chief, got the information
you wanted on Stoner.

- Good news?
- Bad.

Corroborates everything
he told us.

Archaeological dig, getting
booted out of Psi-Corps--

No, no, no, no. I don't buy it.

Nobody leaves Psi-Corps.

I wanna talk to him again.

Okay. I'll tell him.
As soon as he finishes eating.

Eating? Prisoners don't get
dinner for another hour.

Yeah, that's right.

So how did he get a meal now?

Well...he just asked for it.

I don't know.

You know, there's something
about this guy

that just makes you
wanna like him.

You okay?

Londo, do you know
where you are?

Either in Medlab or in hell.

Either way,
the decor needs work.

Oh, Dr. Franklin

thank you
for saving our husband.

You've done the Centauri
a great service.

I agree.

It's so good to see you
with us again, Londo.

Well, that settles it, doctor.
I am in hell.

And what?
Not a word from you, Timov?

'Not an insincere word
of relief?'

Not a blink of forced concern
for my well-being?

No.

If you'll excuse me,
I'll be in my quarters.

I'm suddenly feeling
quite fatigued.

Yes, I think I will do the same.

Ugh. Nightmares, all of them.

And Timov..

...the worst of the lot.

Ambassador Mollari, do you mind

if I make
one personal observation?

No, not at all.

Stick it.

How odd.

I didn't even know
we were married.

I can't believe
you're throwing away

your chance to leave Psi-Corps.

I am what I am, Matt.

I don't wanna carve out
a piece of myself.

I just wanted you
to come with me.

I didn't want to pressure you.

I want it to be different
this time.

'I was certain that
if I told you about the cure'

'you'd wanna come
of your own free will.'

I can't walk away from who I am
or what I am.

If you take away my talents

I don't know what would be left.

'You can understand that,
can't you?'

I suppose so.

'But you're still coming
with me, Talia.'

Matt, I don't want..

You're coming with me.

Of course.

You'll arrange
for immediate transport.

It will be waiting for you
in Docking Bay 9.

Hey.

Thanks, Talia, for your help.

Damn, I love being right.

You know, the problem
with mysteries is that

in order to get rid
of the headaches

I have to figure them out.

Here, we're faced
with a staggering set

of coincidences.

A Centauri artifact

an ancient booby trap it seems

happens to show up on Babylon 5

just in time to be purchased
as a gift for Londo.

And rather than hide
or deny responsibility

the gift-giver makes a point
of saying she gave it to him.

Which neatly avoids
any accusation

of malicious intent
because usually

when you're trying
to kill someone

you hide the attempt.

And there you see,
my head no longer throbs.

That's a very
interesting theory, G'Kar.

To whom will you tell it?

Oh, do I look
like a rumormonger?

Do not underestimate him.

If I could figure it out,
so could he.

- G'Kar, a pleasure as always.
- Hmm.

I warn you, Mariel,
do not be overconfident.

If I were married
to Londo Mollari

I'd be concerned.

G'Kar, if you were married
to Londo Mollari

we'd all be concerned.

Phew.

Well, quite a piece of work,
Mr. Stoner.

Our initial inquiries said that
you and Psi-Corps are quits.

'Yet we slap you
in a holding cell'

'prepare to charge you'

'with transporting
a dangerous object

not to mention
your escape attempt.

Suddenly,
Psi-Corps rides to the rescue

'ordering that
you be turned over to them'

'on the first
available shuttle.'

I left their employ
under cordial circumstances.

I don't think
you left their employ at all.

You told Talia that
the experiments performed on you

by the Corps
erased your telepathic ability.

'I think they transformed it.'

Turned you into something new.

An empath.

'Your effect
on Garibaldi and Talia'

and Officer Welch
all point to it.

See, Psi-Corps couldn't keep you
on the regular rolls

because the rest would find out
about you pretty fast.

'The last thing the Corps wants
is for folks to find out'

'they've been experimenting
on telepaths'

'to increase their abilities.'

So they let you go officially

but kept you on unofficially.

This is nonsense.

'Is it?'

Before you changed,
the Corps decided

you and Talia were genetically
a perfect couple.

So it makes sense
they'd send you here

in the hope
of breeding more empaths

even if it meant
controlling her to do it.

I think you should just forget
about all of this.

Oh, I wouldn't try that little
trick again if I were you.

See, I've got five armed guards
outside watching the monitors

and if we start acting
like best buddies..

...their orders
are to come in shooting.

Tough guy.

'You've surrounded yourself
with tough guys.'

Talia, I was only trying to act
in your best interests.

Not repeat the mistakes
of the past.

'I wasn't lying to you.'

I do know the cure.

Look into my mind.

No shields, no tricks.

No chance.

See you in some other lifetime.

'The Centauri Liner Vellurian
is now in its final boarding.'

This is the ambassador's
upcoming itinerary.

I've marked those events
which you might wish to attend

and those where he will
actually be accompanying you.

Ladies, it's been a pleasure
meeting you.

Londo,
you're making a big mistake.

- A huge mistake.
- Well, it won't be my first.

Actually, it will be my fourth.

Look, be satisfied
I decided to give you

a reasonable allowance
as settlement.

Are we supposed to be
grateful for that?

Yes, you are.
That's the joy of it.

Goodbye, ladies.

Alright, Londo.

Why did you choose to keep me
as your wife and not them?

I've made no pretense
of affection for you.

I find your recent actions
contemptible.

I'll never love you.
At best, I'll tolerate you.

And I'll never be
what you want me to be.

Why me?

Because with you, I will
always know where I stand.

'Centauri Liner Vellurian,
you are cleared for jump.'

Commander.

Susan.

I wish to thank you again

for your patience
and understanding.

Oh, not a problem.

Taking on human characteristics

has been something
of an education for both of us.

Well, if you have
any other problems

any other questions at all,
just ask.

Well, uh,
now that you mention it

do you have any idea

why I suddenly
started getting these..

...odd cramps?
