This time Lincoln wakes up, as hungover and horrid as before.
Booth swaggers about, his moves are exaggerated, rooster-like. He walks round and round Lincoln making sure his brother sees him.
Lincoln
You hurt yrself?
Booth
I had me “an evening to remember.”
Lincoln
You look like you hurt yrself.
Booth
Grace Grace Grace. Grace . She wants me back. She wants me back so bad she wiped her hand over the past where we wasnt together just so she could say we aint never been apart. She wiped her hand over our breakup. She wiped her hand over her childhood, her teenage years, her first
boyfriend, just so she could say that she been mine since the dawn of time.
Lincoln
Thats great, man.
Booth
And all the shit I put her through: she wiped it clean. And the women I saw while I was seeing her—
Lincoln
Wiped clean too?
Booth
Mister Clean, Mister, Mister Clean!
Lincoln
Whered you take her?
Booth
We was over at her place. I brought thuh food. Stopped at the best place I could find and stuffed my coat with only the best. We had the music we had the candlelight we had—
Lincoln
She let you do it?
Booth
Course she let me do it.
Lincoln
She let you do it without a rubber?
Booth
—Yeah.
Lincoln
Bullshit.
Booth
I put my foot down—and she melted . And she was—huh—she was something else. I dont wanna get you jealous, though.
Lincoln
Go head, I dont mind.
Booth
(Rest) Well, you know what she looks like.
Lincoln
She walks on by and the emergency room fills up cause all the guys get whiplash from lookin at her.
Booth
Thats right thats right. Well—she comes to the door wearing nothing but her little nightie, eats up the food I’d brought like there was no tomorrow and then goes and eats on me.
(Rest)
Lincoln
Go on.
Booth
I dont wanna make you feel bad, man.
Lincoln
Ssallright. Go on.
Booth
(Rest)
Well, uh, you know what shes like. Wild. Goodlooking. So sweet my teeth hurt.
Lincoln
A sexmachine.
Booth
Yeah.
Lincoln
A hotsy-totsy.
Booth

Lincoln
Amazing Grace.
Booth
Amazing Grace! Yeah. Thats right. She let me do her how
I wanted. And no rubber.
(Rest)
Lincoln
Go on.
Booth
You dont wanna hear the mushy shit.
Lincoln
Sure I do.
Booth
You hate mushy shit. You always hated thuh mushy shit.
Lincoln

(Rest) Howd ya do her?
Booth

Lincoln
Amazing Grace.
Booth
In front of a mirror.
Lincoln
So you could see her. Her face her breasts her back her ass. Graces got a great ass.
Booth
Its all right.
Lincoln
Amazing Grace!
Booth goes into his bed area and takes off his suit, tossing the clothes on the floor.
Booth
She said next time Ima have to use a rubber. She let me have my way this time but she said that next time I’d have to put my boots on.
Lincoln
Im sure you can talk her out of it.
Booth
Yeah.
(Rest)
What kind of rubbers you use, I mean, when you was with Cookie.
Lincoln
We didnt use rubbers. We was married, man.
Booth
Right. But you had other women on the side. What kind you use when you was with them?
Lincoln
Magnums.
Booth
Thats thuh kind I picked up. For next time. Grace was real strict about it. Magnums.
While Booth sits on his bed fiddling with his box of condoms, Lincoln sits in his chair and resumes drinking.
Lincoln
Theyre for “the larger man.”
Booth
Right. Right.
Lincoln keeps drinking as Booth, sitting in the privacy of his bedroom, fiddles with the condoms, perhaps trying to put one on.
Lincoln
Thats right.
Booth
Graces real different from them fly-by-night gals I was making do with. Shes in school. Making something of herself. Studying cosmetology. You
