"i dont think any of us know natalya too well. erica and her seem to occupy their own little world." he says slightly sorrowful,as he misses erica being around. " i dont think natalya and nichole will EVER get along. there is always going to be that time erica cheated on natalya with nichole. i doubt natalya will ever forgive nichole for that." he says in his dishiest gossip tone.


teresa decides its best to let ada basically calling her not as pretty as natalya slide. after all,ada certainly could kick her off the ship." i hate to say it,but i loved nichole and erica on big brother.they were so cute together." she says,trying to get back into the conversation.

teresa smiles at ada. thinking anyone that sweet surely didnt mean to just call her ugly. "i watched every episode.i love a good train wreck. i even watched the season you were on. " she nods to erich. "jeesh,what a snore fest that was." she laughs and pretends to sleep.

"i cant help all my house guests were sensible." erich says,defending his stint on big brother.a time of which he only has fond memories. "but yes, nichole and sam are stinking adorable. erica and natalya are quite cute too."

erich nods. "challenge accepted." he starts going over everyone he knows in his head.

" i want somebody nice.i dont want to be treated like a cheap floozie." teresa says before shrugging a tiny bit. "maybe i'll try the girlfriend route? every boyfriend i ever had turns out being a complete and utter ass bag! " she instantly covers her mouth. " i am so sorry. i dont usually say stuff like that!" she says in a small voice.

erich gives ada a look that says "bedroom.now" and laughs."ah yes,fotze! i cant wait to yell it in traffic. thats when you know a swear is a good one. if it works in the car,it will work everywhere." he says in his best ward cleaver tone.

teresa turns red. "oh! that is quite the word,miss wannemaker." teresa giggles and shakes her head. "you are even cooler than i imagined,ada."

"oh thank you! " teresa says with a big grin. "usually people see me as kind of neurotic or just weird." she looks around the ship and thinks finally,she is among sane people.

erich smiles and smirks. "later,later" he says quietly to ada.

teresa looks at them both. "um...if this turns out like last time,could i at least have some tokens for the casino?" she giggles.

erich sits there for a moment,drumming his fingers on the table and feeling very awkward.

teresa giggles at the uncomfortable silence. "so...." she starts.


"um....yeah." erich says getting up and leading teresa to the casino.he flips the power switch on and the room comes to life. he hands teresa a key on an 60's buick hubcap. "it opens the token machine." he explains.

thanks...use protection." teresa says,trying to be helpful.

erich akwardly bids her farewell and goes to the room to find ada.

"embarrassed me? i thought i was going to die!" erich exclaims.clearly not too upset to start removing clothes before getting in bed with ada. " i love how you get around the prospect of sex....and you swearing in german does it for me!" he says winking at her.

erich smiles." their loss.i personally love hearing it. the same could be said of women and greasers. i am glad i married a woman who doesnt mind a bit of pomade." erich whispers,being mindful of teresa's ears somewhere on the ship.

"fuck it. it isnt anything she hasnt heard before." erich shrugs and kisses ada's lips. " we could always boot her off." he suggests,kissing her again. "i'm not that attached to her."

"i... um..." erich tries to form his next thought,but ada's kisses have derailed his train of thought." i love when you're evil,ada. it's so...different." he kisses her ear,gently biting the lobe.
