Rule #13: Keep Cell Phones on Silent.
Frost:
I need an update on Trapgate.
Spencer:
I offered to take the trap off his hands. He declined.
Frost:
Sounds awfully territorial.
Rook:
My house is literally my territory.
Spencer:
He almost shoved his whiskey sour down my throat.
Rook:
In your case, silence would be an improvement.
Frost:
eye emoji I'm sensing tension here, gentlemen.
Rook:
No tension. I have a new lawyer, and plans are in place. Problem solved.
Reed:
I leave for one week, and my friend goes rogue. What lawyer? What plan?
Rook:
We are not friends, Cal.
Reed:
Sure we are. Our girls are best friends.
Frost:
OUR GIRLS
Wells:
You're blowing up my phone at 7:30 on my day off. Desist immediately.
Frost:
Things are just getting good. Are you marrying her?
Rook:
I can't trust any of you to keep your mouths shut around your mommies. Case pending. Leave it at that.
Reed:
I won’t say anything. I won’t even tell my perfect girlfriend.
Frost:
Sure, rub it in that we’re single. Classy.
Wells:
Actually, Rook, I'm invested in your success. What else is the point of this dictatorial chat but to keep the rest of us from getting trapped in a marriage scheme?
Spencer:
Except Cal, who apparently enjoys monogamy.
Reed:
Every day. Usually more than once.
Frost:
Ew… Tell me more.
Rook:
I'm meeting with my legal counsel today. My advice: Sign nothing your mothers hand you.
Frost:
Make my mommy pay for my meals so I don't sign the checks. Got it.
Wells:
You already make your mommy pay for your meals.
Frost:
Yeah, but now I have an excuse.
Spencer:
Does Gemma know you're meeting with legal counsel?
Frost:
… Why isn't he answering?
Reed:
You DID include her, right?
Frost:
HE'S STILL NOT ANSWERING
Rook:
Her participation isn't required.
Frost:
Gasp.
Reed:
If Ruth finds out I knew this and didn't say anything, she'll turn my bones into monk dust.
Wells:
…what?
Reed:
Nvm. I saw nothing.
Cal Reed has left the chat.
Frost:
He is so pussy whipped.
Spencer:
So is Rook.
Knox Rook has left the chat.
