[ Charlie has a point, there. No use apologizing after the fact when it isn't going to change anything. It's not giving Charlie any peace of mind or making Meyer any less torn up. Ned watches Charlie pacing, notes again the exhaustion in his restless movements. ]

Look, I don't mean to be rude, but have you gotten any sleep since last night?

[ He's pretty sure Charlie hasn't, but it seems more polite to ask rather than observe ] If you want, I can stick around a while. Wake you up when Meyer wakes up. Make sure he doesn't get outta bed.

[ He's not sure the offer will be appreciated, but he feels he has to make it ]
