Doesn't the cleaning only count if you do it with someone else?

[She is not answering that second part or opening the door. I'm personally crying.]

The person I was cleaning with before left.

[And he just decided to

stick around in the pantry, apparently.]

Are you going to have a whole conversation with me through a door?

How long have you been sitting in there alone?

[She pauses for a second.]

I haven't decided yet.

[at

at least she's honest]

Mmm... Good question! It's hard to tell without any clocks.

[After a second

a packet of seasoning gets pushed under the door toward her side.]

[The seasoning packet gets pushed back under the door after about thirty seconds. Betrayal.]

[THIRTY WHOLE SECONDS OF JUST STARING AT THE SEASONING PACKET.

A few seconds later, a single peanut is pushed under the door.]

[The peanut is returned in record time.]

[This time, there's a pause of almost a minute, with only the faint sound of crunching and rustling..........

Then he pushes back some sort of wrapper folded into the shape of a flat crane, so it can fit under the door.]

[She immediately pushes it back

but then she opens the door.]

If you were trying to clean, you don’t have to waste time on something like that.

[HIS CRANE!! He just laughs when the door swings open again though, and plucks it up off of the floor before springing to his feet, too.]

What, do you not like it? Do you like other animals more? I could try my hand at something else! A cat, maybe? Or a flower?

Don't make another one, I'm not going to keep it.

[She doesn't want his friendship tokens!! Anyways, she's coming in.]

What part were you cleaning?

[He flips it between his fingers and then holds it out toward her anyway!!]

Are you sure you don't want one? I'll just throw it out, otherwise. [It is just a wrapper, after all.

But he'll scoot over and point toward the bottom shelf where all the dry goods are! He's like, organized beans and rice and stuff in stacks.]

This part, mostly! Just counting what we have, sticking it all together, cleaning up any stray beans, you know.

You can give it to someone else if you don't want to throw it out.

[She comes over to look at the pantry, though, bending down. It's not that she wants to help, she's just making sure he didn't do it wrong!!]

It's fine, I don't mind getting rid of it.

[He'll just shove it back into his shirt for now though, since he ain't getting up to find a trashcan just yet.

He also glances up and over toward her and her INSPECTION.]

—Looking to see if I've stolen any beans?

[why]

Definitely. Who knows what bean thievery you could have gotten up to on your own?

[It's so sarcastic.]

Exactly so! You've already interrupted my meticulous and well-thought-out plan to cause our bean supplies to slowly dwindle, driving everyone into a state of bean-deprived madness.

[He reaches out to fondly pat a sack of beans as he says this.]
