You mustn't spoil him, Ray. He'll come to expect it from you.

[kickem]

Friends can spoil friends. That's what friends are for.

[dogsled]

Yes, but--well... Well okay. But you're not to treat us like houseguests. If we're to share an apartment, then it will be our home.

Which of course means occasionally allowing me to have control of the remote.

[kickem]

Hah, no. You don't even watch TV. That remote is mine.

[dogsled]

That's not true. I watch winter sports.

[kickem]

There is a curling ban in my house.

[dogsled]

But this will be our house, Ray, is the point I'm trying to make.

[kickem]

But. Curling.

[dogsled]

You may find you come to enjoy it, with a little exposure. At least the hockey games will be for our mutual benefit.

[kickem]

We can just stick to hockey. I'll just uh, leave the apartment if curling comes on. Maybe take Dief for a walk. Unless he likes that shit too.

[dogsled]

No, Dief can't watch curling. He finds it frustrating that the people chase the stones and still never seem to catch them.

[kickem]

At least one of you has some sense. So yeah, okay. Me and Dief can have some buddy time while you're watching the most boring 'sport' in history.

[dogsled]

Curling is a riveting sport, Ray!

[kickem]

Yeah, sure. If you're into watchin' paint dry.

[dogsled]

Is that a sport, Ray?

[kickem]

Probably in Canada.

[dogsled]

Paint doesn't dry very quickly in lower temperatures.

[kickem]

Don't mean it can't be a sport.

[dogsled]

Well, if you say so. I suppose we can play if you teach me the rules.

[kickem]

No, Fraser. I'm not gonna watch paint dry. That's your thing.

[dogsled]

If you say so, Ray.

In that case I can't think of any reason not to co-habitate.

[kickem]

Like.

Wait. Does that mean you're staying?

[dogsled]

You did say I was all you wanted for Christmas.

[kickem]

Well, yeah. But uh, actual stayin'? For good and not just Christmas?

[dogsled]

That would be the idea, Ray. A Mountie isn't just for Christmas.
