He-he, I knew you guys would end up at least liking Matty. And you're right about Rusty and the gay line. I think he keeps it in his pocket, you know, for convenience.
Your guesses are far from being dumb... The whole point is to create a very messy love triangle that ends up actually being an only two-way... He-he-he, I will continue to read your detective inferences...
Matty's cat voice scratches Rusty's ear for a reason... his is a very musical one. But, for the sake of a fluffy tail, what won't he do and put up with?
I'm glad I can contribute to your book of quotes...
