'''Purple Monkey Returns''' is the one hundred twelfth video in the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]]. [[Daniel]] employs the help of [[Purple Monkey]] to try to cheer [[Bree]] up, but Bree makes it very clear that she doesn't want to see either of them.

== Transcript ==
(''Daniel is sitting alone in the Library'')

'''Daniel:''' How can Bree not want to talk about what happened? It sounds like one of those things she's supposed to say. Her mom once got mad at her because she was crying because it...projected weakness or something. This whole...not wanting to talk thing? Reminds me of back in October with the fake ceremony and... her telling me not to get involved. She's lucky I did. Jonas told me that his Bree mental health exercise failed. Miserably. Which frankly doesn't- that doesn't surprise me. Jonas... he's really into talking about feelings. Don't be fooled by the whole pro thing. Actually he's kind of like Patrick Swayze in Point Break... except we don't surf. Or rob banks. We just talk. He gets misty eyed and we hug it out. (''laughs'') It's only a matter of time before Jonas has us doing trust falls. That's not gonna cheer Bree up. I know what will.

(''music plays and shows a video clip of Bree sleeping on the couch. Daniel walks up to her with P. Monkey on his hand. He sits down and plays with him in front of her face. Bree faces the back of the couch and Daniel brings Owen over. She flings him away. Daniel comes back in front of the camera and shakes his head. He brings Bree a bowl of chocolate. Bree takes one.'')

'''Daniel:''' (''in a weird P. Monkey voice'') Hey babay this is P. monkay wuts goin' awn! C'mawn babay ah'll sang u a sawng! Mah names P. Monkay c'mon, cheer up! Just cheer up babay! Hey c'mawn!

(''Bree is annoyed. Bree pushes P. Monkey and the camera away and leaves the couch.'')

'''Daniel:''' (''In front of Bree's room'') Hey Bree? (''Knocks'') Bree, why won't you talk to me?

'''Bree:''' (''In room'') Go away Daniel.

'''Daniel:''' So...you're not gonna talk to me. You know what, I'll just leave P. Monkey and Owen sitting outside the door. Apparently they're the only people that get you so...

'''Bree:''' Leave me alone.

'''Daniel:''' Bree, the only reason I'm here is for you! I left my job, I left everything, and you won't even talk to me! Just give me a chance!

(''Bree opens door'')

'''Bree:''' Daniel, turn it off. Turn off the camera, Daniel. I need... to be by myself right now. I don't wanna think about it. I just want my own space! Daniel, you just ... (''Bree slams door shut'')

'''Daniel:''' Bree, (''opens door'') look I came here for you! And all I wanna do is help with your dad.

'''Bree:''' You keep talking and I don't want you to, I don't want anybody to help me!

(''Music plays and shows Bree standing over the bathroom sink. Then she's facing the camera and talking to Daniel. The camera backs away as she closes the bathroom door.'')

'''Daniel:''' Well that... didn't go too well. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

==Notes==
* This is the first official LG15 video where one of the bloggers other than Bree has done the voice of P.Monkey. Its also the ''last'' appearance to date of P. Monkey.
* "Point Break" was a 1991 movie starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. Patrick Swayze, as Daniel suggests, led a gang of surfers who robbed banks. Keanu Reeves plays an FBI agent assigned to track him down. Patrick Swayze's character gives a soulful defense of why he robs banks, and Keanu Reeves's character refuses to arrest him.
* "Trust falls" are a technique used in team-building exercises. A person will close their eyes and face away from a partner. The person, with eyes closed, will fall backwards and trust that the partner will catch them.
* When Bree is in the bathroom, you could see the toilet seat up in the mirror.

'''Valentine's Day Massacre''' is the one hundred thirty-third video in the lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].

==Transcript==
'''Jonas:''' (''dramatically'') Happy Valentine's Day!!! There ok, got that out of the way.
Anyway I've decided that uh, I need to get my head straight. Because it's been in overdrive ever since we decided to play James Bond Jr. And listen, I'm not putting down Tachyon or her bro, trust me. Believe me. I know if they wanted to end me, they could do it in a heartbeat. I'm talking about the three of us here. You know, if it wasn't for you two...we'd probably be dead. Thanks, seriously. See, we just...we don't have it together. I'm thinking in hindsight.. that we've kinda handled things badly. I don't know the situation just got worse, until Daniel got...kidnapped. Only then did we decide to take action...but we needed outside help. We've been talking a lot in the past few days about forming a plan to form a plan. The frustrating thing is that we can't even agree on that. And Daniel--Daniel's worried about what the Order knows. And he thinks that we should leave here, but you know what? I they that if they knew that we lived here, then they would be here. And Bree, she's willing to bring the fight to the Order's front door. Girl power. All this talk of fighting and since it's Valentine's Day, I thought of the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, which was 1929, Chicago. Al Capone tricked like seven of Bugs Moran's best gangsters. How'd he do it? They dressed up like cops, because back in the day, during prohibition, gangsters didn't fear police. They just wiped them out, they didn't even see it coming. The thing is... Al Capone's enemies knew where he lived, but I guarantee you they thought twice before just going up to his house. The next time the Order tries to hit us, I'm not flinching. In fact, I'm going to hit back twice as hard. At this point, I think I'd just prefer a fight that is just going to finish this thing once and for all. Know what I'm saying?

'''Daniel:''' So, I'm alive, recovering from my stint as a POW. I can't remember anything. What the hell did I say in that video? What the hell could I have possibly said in that bar? Why the hell did I leave with that cowboy and get into his Chester the Molester van? I don't know, why would I leave with him?

It got a little bit more personal. I don't want to get all Dr. Jonas over here, but...I'm an idiot for thinking I could drink my problems away. My parents and their whole hands-off thing. Growing up, I-I think they were actually just a little preoccupied. They never hit me or set the house on fire. It was that they violently ignored me. I guess they were pretty mellow as far as drunks go. The bad times are when one of them would stop. It's like, one of them would get better and...I'd f-...I'd finally have a parent, you know. But then, you know, that's when all the arguing would start, you know, it sucked. It's like they were both self-medicating. Unless they were numb, life was just...too much to deal with. Given our situation, I can kinda understand why a person would find that preferable. They've actually been sober, now for...last two years. They tried the whole amends thing...but...with my evasive maneuvers being on auto-pilot...I uh...I didn't want to hear about it. I didn't--I just didn't want any part of it. It's kind of uh, kind of hard now, trying to stay mad at them. You know, I'm not gonna be careless like my parents were. It's not about covering my own ass, it's...it's about watching out for one another. So, yeah, I'm not sure if it's safe here anymore. Talkin' about all this stuff, it's just...it's just giving me a headache. Jonas, you're a bad influence, man.

*Though this is the first time [[Daniel]] has spoken in detail about the troubles with his parents, he has hinted at it several times.

*This is the first time [[Daniel]] has spoken about the troubles with his parents. This is probably a way of getting to know the character better.
