Millicent, there's probably very little chance that there's a spider in
my chair, right?
Don't touch me while I'm touching the chair.
Ahh!
I just imagined you touching me.
Look Jefferson I'm going to be honest with
you. Mom and Dad weren't worried about me not making it.
Millicent!
They were worried...
We are getting out of this quarantent, I promise
..about me not making it.
..about you not making it.
you that.
Millicent...typhoid goes away.
Only one of us is getting out, Jefferson. And it's not the academic one.
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, Jefferson.
Fair.
Please put the knife down Millicent.
Or were you unzipping the tent?
I was going to unzip the tent.
I can't really, there were too many questions,
that's probably what it was.
Look, Jefferson, this hurts me as much as it's gonna hurt you. Well, it probably hurts
you more.
Well, I have my books. It's not clear which
of us will win this war, Millicent. You have your suspicions, I have mine.
I have my knife, you have your books.
Surprised you, Millicent. "How to parry."
Your brother's not as daft as he seems. Hypochondriac,
perhaps. Paranoid, perhaps.
I only had two.
You know what, Jefferson?
Lay it on me, sister.
If I put the knife down...
Millicent, what was that? Sorry, keep going.
Mom?
Mom? Is this one of your games, Millicent?
No, I think it's Mom.
We're not done yet, Mom. Both of us are still
alive. We'll let you know when we're done; we'll open the tent door.
Look, Jefferson, I don't want to kill you.
Oh, thank good. Ow. Gonna hold on to this
one just in case. Look, they put us out here because we're the only one's left with Typhus.
If we tell them we don't have typhus anymore...
Then we can just get out.
Yeah.
I can't believe I didn't think of that before.
Well, that's why I kept asking you, Millicent, I was hoping to guide you there. I know you
get pissed off when I'm smarter than you.
Is it a deal?
Let's open that door, Millicent. Ha ha! Tricked you, Millicent, this book isn't "How To Parry"
at all! It's "How to stab your sister in the back literally and figuratively."
Well, Jefferson. Looks like you'll be the
one leaving. But you still have typhus.
To be honest I realized that as soon as I stabbed you.
I love you, Mom! You made Mom cry.
