Title: I gotta fly...

Bud makes his way to the bar where Sis, Azi and I are seated. I'm feeling
pretty much bored with the games of who-gets-who and and who's meaner and
the general feeling of participating in some sort of Tough-Guy contest, plus
I ate too much of Jake's and Ray's exquisite and rich dinner.  I lean across
Azi and announce to Sis,

"I have to get outta here.  I feel like I need to escape this Babylon and fly
back home, or maybe find my Arcadia.  Harley waits. I gotta fly, Sis..."

Sis seems surprised and asks, "You ought to take your shyster lawyer with you.
I know B.J. has some sort of business to attend to.  I'm not sure you should go
alone..."
