I may be juggling plates, but the idea is to juggle them, not drop them! [It starts out as amusement, a joke meant to be shared, but when Lisa mentions she'd feel guilty about taking up Sam's free time, Sam's expression turns into one of...surprise? Definitely surprised, but maybe there's a little bit of hurt, there.]

I can understand wanting to be independent. I'm there too. But hitting rock bottom sucks for you, wipes you out, and probably isn't that great for anyone who cares about you, either, you know? And hey! It's my free time! I should be able to do what I want with it, and I'm offering! You're not strong arming me or anything! Especially not if I offered! Which I did. [Pointing that out. There's a part of her that realizes she's being a little hypocritical here, but Sam's just not going to let on with that.]

Besides, right now I have more free time. At least 'til the semester starts, and then? Then we'll see.
