"I'm eager to help and I'd love to bring it out of retirement." "There's a goat that won't survive a couple of days." "He needs a vet." "You are the vet." "He is." "You must be the doctor's daughter." "I'm..." "I'm Tumelo." "The doctor's daughter." "Now this is what I call a lodge." "Mara caters to tourists." "Thought you might like it." "I'm Oliver,this is my sister Emily." "You two brother and sister?" "Well,her lunatic father duped my mother into marrying him." "Yeah,that's exactly how it went down." "It's paradise."

"I would like to propose a toast..." "Dad,you're not serious." "I'm very serious." "...to your first day of school, to my first day at work." "Let's all get a fresh start as a family here in Africa." "To new beginnings." "And I'm waiting." "God,that was moving." "Mom,can't breathe." "Okay,I'm sorry." "Okay,you look great." "Get on that bus." "So,new teachers,new classes,new students."

"Yeah,it's just... this school" "Relax,it's first day jitters." "Allow me to be your official tour guide." "Oh,you're hired." "Can we start by why does no one speak English?" "I thought this was an international school." "Each month,our class focuses on one of 11 official languages in South Africa." "This month is Zulu." "Zulu." "Well,thank God I'm not taking that class." "Spanish was hard enough." "Well,what do you have now?" "Heh,that's Zulu." "Come on,follow me." "Okay." "That's her." "The girl next door." "For some reason,Oliver seems to like her." "Well,we'll see how long that lasts." "Ah,this is gonna be fun." "Our first assignment for today will be to have each of you write a poem in Zulu." "Now this poem needs to describe your favorite place in South Africa and why." "Katie,Jesse,since you are new," "I don't expect you to read the entire poem in Zulu, but just give it your best shot." "Now who here would like to partner up with Ms. Clarke?" "So, how's it going,partner?" "We've got dry rot,bad pipes, the roof needs replacing." "I need to order some corrugated iron... partner." "Iron?" "I was thinking more about tile." "Too pricey." "Just because you've stayed in a hotel, doesn't mean you know how to run one." "We're gonna make this a great lodge." "I want to out-Mara Mara." "Ah,I see." "The American way,bigger and better." "Super-size it." "Well,you're not in America now and you're not at your New York law firm." "This is the bush."

"Do you speak Zulu?" "You know,I don't." "And you know,I do." "I mean,I could be of invaluable help on this class project." "Mm... how very quid pro quo of you." "Hello." "I'm Doctorlarke."

"Yeah,sure." "Who is that guy?" "He's hot." "I told you so." "That's Jesse." "My stepbrother." "Clarke." "Chase Clarke?" "My name's Madiba." "Madiba is Nelson Mandela's honorary title." "Your name is Chase Clarke." "The new boy from New York,right?" "I've adopted Madiba as a tribute to Mr. Mandela." "Well, while tributes are important, in my class you will respond when your name is called." "Chase,why don't you write the problem on the board." "My name is Madiba." "Chase,to the board." "Madiba." "Well,Madiba,you have just earned yourself a first visit to the principal." "She's got a lion!" "Wait,no." "What?" "Isicubu." "Wait." "Uh,hold on a second." "Uh,wait." "Come here." "No,no,no." "No,no,not out the door." "I'm an innocent man,unjustly accused." "Yeah,me,too." "Don't even try it." "Chase,Mia,early bedtime." "Jesse..." "You wanna send me to my room?" "I got a better idea." "Send me home on the first flight." "Oh,I'll gladly contribute to that airfare." "If this is what they call family bonding,I've really missed out." "Katie,since you are the only one who the principal didn't grill us on, how was your day today?" "Fun!" "I met two cool girls, started my first day of Zulu, and I have to write a poem about my favorite spot in South Africa." "Wow." "All that in a pleated skirt." "I'm impressed." "I treated a water buffalo,impala,two goats and a very sick cow thank you very much." "Typical day." "And you,dear?" "Oh,gee,uh,Art,you wanna field this one?" "She wants to out-Mara Mara with her vast experience as a New York City divorce attorney." "Can't wait." "Yeah,so,while Art has been murdering my spirit with his bare hands," "I've been researching South African's top lodges and it's clear that in order to compete we something to set us apart." "We need a marketing hook." "How 'bout we call it the Children in Captivity Lodge?" "How 'bout a Nelson Mandela Lodge?" "I can give tours." "How about a top-of-the-line spa lodge?" "Or a nudist lodge." "Zoompa." "That's "naked" in Zulu." "And how do you know how to say "naked" in Zulu?" "Ah!" "Can I borrow that?" "Thank you." "Art,what is this thing?" "It's an old windmill." "Chase,get off of that before you hurt yourself." "Madiba,please." "Whoa!" "Chase!" "I do believe that's the owner of the sick cow that I was talking about." "Kani!" "How are you?" "Okay,just,uh... slowly." "I just have to look up,uh..." "Cow?" "Sure,that'll work." "You don't speak Zulu?" "Do I look like I speak Zulu?" "I have an idea." "Thanks for coming." "Thanks for calling me." "Just one second." "Please." "One second." "Tumelo,tell me you speak Zulu." "I do,but he's speaking Tswana which I also speak." "Excellent." "Tell me what he's saying,please." "Uh,he,he said you told him you'd cure his cow." "He says you didn't." "You made it worse." "Okay." "Would you just please tell him" "I'd like to take his animal back to the Blue Antelope and put her on fluids." "She's very,very dehydrated." "He doesn't trust you." "Just... come with me." "What's going on?" "To begin,you have to be humble in your volume and,and your,your body language." "All right." "Just give me your hand." "It's a traditional handshake greeting." "It lets us know you're open to our way and our land." "Okay." " That was painful to watch." "Not bad for the first time,thank you very much." "Um..." "Unjani?" "What?" ""Unjani" means "How are you?"" "Thank you." "Kani." "Unjani." "Okay." "Good." "Okay." "All right." "Thank you,Tumelo." "I'd..." "like to be a vet one day." "Dad,can,can Tumelo be your apprentice?" "It seems like you need the help." "Air-conditioned suites." "Butler servicstrewn on exquisite with fragrafeatherbeds." "Sounds good to me." "What is it?" "Hell." "Mara." "Is there really such a difference?" "Intermittent electricity and dead animal heads on the wall just aren't gonna cut it." "If you admire it so much,why don't you move there?" "Well,actually,I'd like to bring a little of it here." "You know what?" "I think I'm gonna do a little snooping around there and find out how they run that place." "Chase,get my heartburn medicine." "Oh,sweet Jesus." "Madiba-- medicine." "So how'd your first house call go?" "Well,I think... the cow ate some bad chicken." "I thought cows only ate grass." "Or are they faking it as we drive by?" "Hey." "Hey." "How's the poem going?" "You find your favorite spot yet?" "Not even a top five." "I'm actually trying to get some study time in with your sister and Lauren." "Ah,good luck with that." "Listen,there's a Dirty Skirts concert tomorrow." "It's sold out,but if you're interested..." "I could,uh,snag some tickets." "It's at this really cool old amphitheater." "It could be your favorite spot." "You,uh,you like hip-hop?" "Yeah,I-I love hip-hop." "If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd love to go." "It sounds like fun." "What sounds like fun?" "The,uh,Dirty Skirts concert." "Oh,yeah,you should totally come." "Yeah?" "Oh,I'm sorry--is it a date?" "No!" "Oh." "Good thing,'cause Katie's got a boyfriend back in New York who could probably fly here and kick your butt." "Not to mention that her first date in South Africa shouldn't be with someone like you." "She's a nice person." "Someone like me?" "Mm-hmm." "Right." "I hope that wasn't bad, what I said about your boyfriend." "No,why would it be a bad thing?" "Um,so when are we gonna get started on this poem?" "How's after school?" "By our pool?" "Your pool?" "Yeah." "It's where we get our best studying done." "Jesse." "Hi." "Uh,Katie's coming over laterYou should come,too." "I'll pass,but thanks." "You're new." "You're supposed to want to make friends." "Oh,well,I'll keep that in mind." "Me,bikini,pool." "Oh,what's the deal?" "Don't you like girls?" "Oh,I like girls." "Oh,you're gonna tell me you've got someone back home,too." "Too?" " Like Katie." "Is it some sort of family affliction?" "Can't end a relationship?" "Wait,Katie told you that she has a boyfriend back home?" "Yeah." "Why,doesn't she?" "No." "Get me outta here." "Don't you have detention?" "Yeah." "And?" "All right." "Wait until you see this." "I like this place already." "Yeah." "That's Mbali, the eighth wonder of the world." "She is beautiful." "Forget it,my friend." "She is way out of your league." "Just enjoy that view." "help?" "She lied to us." "She was probably just trying to be cool." "Or she wanted us to think she wasn't single." "Wasn't a threat." "God,you're so paranoid." "Only in the best possible ways." "This place is so amazing." "Okay,so we should get started on our poem." "Let's start with our favorite place." "We have plenty of time and we have far more important things to discuss." "Yeah,like the fact your brother is so hot." "He's my stepbrother and yuck." "What do you think of Emily's brother,Oliver, if you... didn't have a boyfriend?" "Uh... he seems sweet." "We think he has a crush on you." "No,he does not have a crush on me." "Then why did he invite you to the concert tomorrow night?" "He's taking pity on me." "I'm,I'm the new kid." "I have no friends,all that." "You should come to the concert with us." "And we'll fill you in on all the essential gossip." "I,I already told Oliver I was gonna go with him." "You know,we should all go in the same car." "You know what?" "I'll set it up." "Okay." "Cool." "Nothing says academic commitment like SPF30." "I see the poem is going well." "You know who I've just been hanging out with?" "Hmm?" "Your brother Jesse." "Oh,be careful,he's a bad influence." "Well,how do you know I'm not the bad influence?" "I really need to work on this poem, so I'd better go." "Hey,Katie?" "Are you,uh... you still on for the,um,concert tonight?" "Yeah,I can't wait." "Yeah?" "Okay,yeah." "Actually,Lauren and Emily said that we should go with them,so..." "Yeah,uh,it'll be easier that way." "Parking's terrible." "All right,well,I'll see you tonight." "All right,cool." "Bye." " See ya." "Miss New York is going to learn how we do things South Africa style." "Ugh,you didn't just say that,"South Africa style." That's so cheesy." "Well,a little cheese is permitted,my heart's on the line." "You've actually got a heart?" ""Isifo." Disease." ""Ngiyabonga."" "I don't know this one." "Bathroom." "Thank you?" "Ding,ding,ding." "You figure out what's going on with that cow yet,Dad?" "No." "Come in." "Hey,Tumelo." "Welcome." "Welcome to your first day of apprenticeship." "Dr. Clarke,I couldn't be more grateful for this opportunity." "So do I get to watch you do... surgery?" "Help with the vaccines?" "Whatever you want,I'm yours." "Fantastic." "Back wall,two ts is best." "Welcome to Mara,Mrs. Clarke." "Did you know that we squeeze 211 oranges each morning to make the African Mara Sunrise?" "Would you like one?" " No,no thank you." "You sure?" "There's a little drool coming out of there." "Oh,all right,thank you." "Mmm." "Thanks." "And,of course,it's amazing." "What do you put in here and is it legal?" "This is Africa." "Everything tastes better." "Listen,Jo, I hear you're planning on reopening the Blue Antelope." "Yes,I was thinking about it." "Well,I'd hate to be the voice of doom,but,uh... this immediate area can really only support one upscale lodge." "Really?" "Yes." "Others have tried and failed." "You seem like quite a nice family." "I'd hate to see you throw your money away." "Well,thank you for the advice." "Jesse,the school called." "Did you really think that no one would notice you skipped detention?" "A" " About that,I found a job opening at this really cool place." "A job after school?" "Sounds great-- but your mom asked you about detention." "So we have detention and skipping detention." "It's just like New York,and it's gonna stop." "So there's no job,there's no hanging out" "So you're grounding me?" "If that's what it takes." "Come to dinner." "Africa keeps getting better and better." "So,I went to Mara today,and I realized that people travel all the way to Africa only to check in to the Mandalay Bay." "but if you can**** and rings of fire and funny names, we can't out-Mara Mara." "We need something totally different." "Art,you were right." "I'm sorry,I wasn't listening." "Sweetie,what are you doing?" "I'm taking these ice cubes to Isicubu." "He's panting." "Little cats pant,baby." "So do big ones-- it keeps 'em cool." "Now,sit down,please." "Maybe next year we should move to Alaska." "But then we'd have heating to contend with." "Glaciers melting..." "Face it,we're screwed." "Chase,we're not screwed." "We just,uh,have to find a way to make a difference." "And please come sit down." "We could put this windmill up." "Wind energy reduces toxic and greenhouse gas, if used to replace fossil fuel-derived electricity." "How does he know all this stuff?" "It's also a really cool thing to climb on." "Chase,that's it." "Not the "really cool thing to climb on" thing but the other part." "We'll turn the Blue Antelope green." "We are not painting it green." "No,no." "An eco-lodge-- that's how we could set ourselves apart." "We'll be environmentally responsible." "And screw the air-conditioning and the fragrant flowers." "You know,turning a building green is.... expsive" "Art doesn't have that kind of money." "You're dead right I don't." "But we have investments back home." "Wait." "Isn't that our college fund?" "Yeah,and we're only here for a year." "What are you even gonna put a dime in it for?" "If we're making the Blue Antelope green, we'd be giving something back to Africa, even if we left tomorrow." "Danny,what do you think?" "or It's me promising than a nudist lodge." "Certainly less embarrassing." "I like it." "You think I might have a say in what color we're turning my lodge?" "Of course." "We're in this together,Art." "I see where this is going-- you're gonna put your money in now, and then a year from now,you're gonna tell us that it's one more year, and then one more year after that." "I mean,do you bother even asking what we want." "Jesse... that is not what we're saying." "ea doIt rlly esn't matter what you say, because you do what you want anyway." "Hey." "Hey." "So,how's the Zulu coming?" "Coluile." "Ah!" "That's very good." "I'm very iress" "Don't be." "I know three words." ""Fine" happens to be one of them." "So did you find your favorite sport?" "Nope." "Nothing." "Well,let me help." "You know,for getting me in with your father." "How's about tonight,when I'm done working with him?" "I actually have plans tonight with Lauren and Emily." "We're seeing a concert-- you should come." "Lauren and Emily." "No." "No,thanks." "You're spending a lot of time with them." "Well,they're not aiming for the dean's list, but they've been nice to me." "Just be careful." "I went to private school in New York City." "I'll be fine." "Aw..." "Mm-hmm!" "cThang forominover." "It's been like this for a few days." "He's stopped eating,and now he's having trouble maintaining his balance." "Wow." "Yeah." "Well,he's definitely dehydrated." "His pupils are asymmetrical, which is often a sign of a nervous system disorder." "Kind of like the cow those fluids are for but a whole lot worse." "I'm gonna draw some blood." "Uh,when will I be working on some actual... animals?" "In about 14 years when you graduate from veterinary school." "You missed a spot." "Danny,come quick." "One of the wildebeests just collapsed." "What's-What's wrong with him?" "I have no idea." "What the hell!" "I'm over-caffeinated and a sip away from insulin shock from all the sugar we've just drank." "Just go over there so she can shoot you down and we can leave." "Hi." "I'm Jesse." "Nice to meet you,Jesse." "I think I just might be in love." "With your friend over there?" "With-With the music." "Ah." "Who's the band?" "Actually,that's me." "Really?" "Mm-hmm." "Wow,you're good." "I know." "You have an amazing edge to your voice." "It kind of vibrates through the body." "Do-Do you think that maybe you could burn me a copy so that I could download it on my nano?" "The nano!" "So cute." "If you like our music,you can buy the CD." "You need some help?" "Excuse me?" "The help wanted sign." "Oh,well,are you looking for a job?" "That depends." "You going to put in a good word for me?" "Ooh,that hurt." "Hey,Lauren." " Hey." "You still going?" "Yeah,of course I'm going." "Well,we have to drive my cousin, so can you take a taxi straight to the concert?" "Oh,your cousin,too?" "Yeah." "Is it a problem?" "No." "I-I-I can get there easy." "You sure?" "No." "It's no problem." " I feel bad." "Don't feel bad." "Um,just could I get directions?" "Sure,and I'll tell Oliver you'll meet us there." "Okay." "I saw two wildebeests drop today." "I mean,there is something going on with the animals, was far apart as Mara and the township and here, and I don't know if it's a virus, and if it is,I don't know what the common link is." "I don't know if it's insect-born." "Maybe we should call a state vet." "No." "You'll figure it out." "You always do." "Mmm." "While morally I am against dressing up like I won the Masters just to go to school,I will wear this, and I will go to all my classes, and I will try my hardest to avoid detention." "That makes me so happy,Jesse." "So,can I get the job?" "Well,it's a good start, but let's just see how things progress." "Good start." "I mean,what more do you want from me?" "I love that you want this job,but Danny's right." "Ladies and gentlemen,the only parents in the world who actually discourage their kid from working." "Wow.Look at you." "Excuse me." "Excu..." "Um..." "Uh,young lady,uh, how about a jacket or some pants?" "Dad,I'm going to be late for the concert." "Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa." "How are you getting to the concert?" "A taxi." "A taxi?" " No,no,no,no,no." "You are not taking a taxi by yourself to a concert." "I'm not taking a taxi to the concert." "I'm taking a taxi to Lauren's, and then we're all going to the concert together." "Lauren and Emily take them all the time." "They're safe." "Right,Art?" "See you." "I" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Is this Chungalulla Street?" "Yes,it's Chungalulla Street." "Yeah,it is." "Okay." "Hi." "Um, is there a hip-hop concert here tonight?" "I don't know nothing." "Okay." "Thank you." "Excuse me?" "Yes." "Hi." "Please tell me there's a Dirty Skirts concert here tonight." "Hip..." "Hip-hop?" "Hip-hop concert?" "No." "It's not funny." "It's really not that funny." "I'm sorry." "I'm just..." "I'm really trying to embrace this, but it's not that easy." "This would never happen to me in New York." "I have friends there, not to mention that there's a grid system." "I just got duped, and I'm looking for some-some compassion, and some consideration from somebody." "My friend is coming... with a truck." "We..." "We are going north." "Need a lift?" "That would be really nice,thank you." "Oh,of course." "Why not?" "For the record,this is so not my favorite place!" "No offense... pigs." "Thank you for offering to wash the dishes." "I really want this job,Mom." "Can you please tell me what is so important about this job?" "Other than money and something to do other than hanging out here with you guys." "Okay." "Can you give us a break and stop fighting with us?" "We're all in this together." "Come on." "I love you." "You know that." "?" " What happened?" "How was the concert?" "I`m a big loser" "You're not big loser." "Hello?" "Truck full of little pigs,all right?" "And the one guy who's actually nice to me is never gonna speak to me again." "because he thinks I blew him off last night." "Who,Tumelo?" "No,Dad,not Tumelo." "Never mind." "Honey,it's hard moving to a new place, especially one filled with little pigs." "Just be patient." "It'll be okay." "It better be." "I mean,I can deal with one terrible year, but anything more than that will be irreversible damage,got it?" "Got it." "We could bring in an eco-landscaper." "We could build a bonfire and burn our money." "I'm sorry." "We could bury it with manure and compost it." "You know,at Mara,they spray it green." "Spray what green?" "The lawns." "They even rope it off so nobody can walk on it till it dries." "How good could that be for the grass and the environment?" "It's exactly why we have to go green." "Spray it green?" "This is the bush." "The grass is dry and brown." "It's part of its charm... like me." "What are you two talking about?" "At Mara,they paint the lawns green, I watched this guy do it." "He makes it look strangely perfect." "Art,take me back to where the wildebeest fell." "Now?" " Right now." "Come on." "Mara's up there?" " Yeah." "What's downstream?" " Township." "What exactly are you spraying on your grass?" "This new brand of fertilizer we just switched to." "It's absolutely fantastic." "You know,it's actually odorless?" "Hmm." "It's the same type they use on the best golf courses in the world." "Golf courses?" "Yeah." "They use herbicides, insecticides,fungicides." "Now,I'm pretty sure your magic fertilizer has organophosphes, and that's what's making the animals sick." "I'd like to take a water sample and send it in for some tests." "Come on." "Is that really necessary?" "Well,I guess you have to ask yourself what's more important in your fantasy of Africa." "Nice lawns or live animals?" "So,how was the concert?" "I didn't make it." "Lauren and Emily sent me to the middle of nowhere and I in turn,stood up Oliver." "Don't say a word." "What you're witnessing right now is the height of self-control." "You know,no offense to South Africa or anything,but,um," "I'm beginning to think my favorite place is New York." "I was at the,the clinic." "Your father's not there." "Yeah,he's probably at a house call or something." "Come on." "This is all Soweto." "This is where the black South Africans ended up when the architects of apartheid drove them off their own property." "And this is where the end of apartheid began." "So this was a place of great poverty and injustice." "Well,there still is poverty,but... also people doing better, and people doing really well." "See,Soweto changed the whole country." "And this is my favorite spot in South Africa." "Ubuntu." "Ubuntu?" "Yeah,uh,it means" ""I am what I am because of what we all are."" "There's no single word for it in English or any other language." "It's purely African." "That's pretty cool." "You know,you shouldn't hate Africa." "'Cause Lauren's not Africa." "Emily's not Africa." "This,this is Africa." "Ubuntu is Africa." "I am Africa." "Hey,!" "Hey,just wait,wait right there." "The water's no good here." "Wait,wait,wait right there." "Wait right there." "No,no,no." "No,no." "I need to make sure you understand that that water right there is bad." "Up there,uh,enza." "Upstream,enza?" "Okay?" "Wait,yeah,I got,I got something here." "This water here is..." "Exactly right." "All right,let's get started." "Lauren,Emily, you girls ready with your poem?" "Katie was supposed to bring it to class." "We did it as a group." "Katie's new here." "She's relying on you." "I did rely on them." "It's right here." "I wrote it in Zulu,but I'm going to say it in English because I don't want to butcher the beautiful language." "Our poem is called "Ubuntu."" ""A place at the end of the road" ""A place off the beaten path" ""Dark with nothing to see except stars" ""Silent except for the family and friends in my head" ""They make me who I am" ""But I also make them who they are" "We all create each other out of the blackness."" "This poem is based on my favorite place in Africa." "A little place I discovered when I got lost that helped me realize the meaning of Ubuntu" "I am who I am because of what we all are, good and bad." "And I would have never been able to do this poem without the help of Lauren," "Emily and Tumelo." "?" "?" "ng she was up to something." "but I didn't know about the wrong directions." "If I did,I would have stopped her." "I'm really sorry." "You know,it's just that..." "Katie,I'm sorry." "Blame it on the Zulu." "You know what?" "What does that mean?" " Look it up." "Hey,Chase,Chase,put those inside so the animals don't get them." "Chase!" "Chase!" "Okay,Madiba... let's talk." "I want you to come with me for a little walk." "You know that "Chase" was also your great-grandfather's name?" "My father." "Now,he came to Africa with nothing and he built up a farm with his bare hands." "This farm." "Now,all he ever wanted was for his family to love Africa as much as he did." "And I know that he would be happy to know that another Chase has returned home with the same love and passion for Africa that he had." "And he was a race car driver." "Really?" "Of course." "Chase?" "Yeah?" "If you're gonna pick a Zulu name, use one that hasn't already been taken,hmm?" "Be an original, like your great-grandpa." "Uh,I must be dreaming because I smell an HH onion bagel being toasted right now at approximately 350 degrees." "Butter... or cream cheese?" "Oh,my gosh!" "Is that the New York Times?" "!" " Yeah,it is." "How did" "I had it shipped in." "It's a week old,but hey,it's still good." "And as of last Sunday, the Mets are still in first place." "But what happened to,uh,embracing Africa?" "This move's been hard for everyone, so I was thinking maybe we don't have to embrace Africa all at once." "Yes,slowly,with cream cheese." "It looks fantastic." "Very thatchy." "Well,we're now invested in every possible way." "The reason I know this is 'cause I can't sleep at night." "Mmm." "Just because it's your investment doesn't make it your lodge." "That catches fire because it's thatch and not corrugated iron," "I get 51% of the claim." "Gosh,that is such a nice thought, but,yes,partner." "Too soon for the hug." "So...how long's it gonna be?" "You know, could you please not spoil this moment?" "We've been through this." "We're gonna be here a year,Jesse." "I really just meant how long's it gonna be until you guys decide if you'll let me get the job or not." "Okay,I'm so sorry I snapped." "Jesse, what exactly is this job?" "Oh,it,it's,it's the Ant Hill." "It's right up off the main road." "I'll probably just be,you know, cleaning up,serving food,doing dishes, but it's something to do." "So when you were washing dishes the other night, that was job training?" "Something like that." "Take my car." "On second thought,take Art's car." "So, you still hiring?" "That depends." "Are you here for a job or to flirt?" "A job." "Okay,well,you'll be mopping floors and clearing tables,washing dishes." "I wash a mean glass." "Great." "Uh,how old are you?" "'Cause..." "SALE OF ALCOHOL IS PROHIBITED TO?" "Eighteen." "I'm 18." "I'm sorry if I stood you up." "I really wanted to go." "Emily told me what happened." "She feels bad." "My sister can be mean now and then,but she's,uh, she's no Lauren." "God,what did I do to that girl?" "It's,it's more what I did." "We used to date." "Oh." "Yeah." "Oh!" "I wish I knew that a week ago." "But I,um..." "I,uh,I guess it doesn't matter now." "I'm actually kind of to blame,too." "Out of a moment of new girl desperation," "I told them I have a boyfriend and I don't." "Great." "Or, you know,whatever." "Well,I'll tell Jesse that you came by." "Yeah." "Thanks." "All right,well, I'll see you later,yeah?" "Okay." "Some firsts you can see from a mile away." "They keep you up at night,anxious worrying." "But there are others that sneak up on you" "LIKE FIRST TIME YOU ******AT ALL" "OR THE OTHER MAY AND BEING MORE" "OR THHE FIRSE TIM YOU RELISE YOU MATTER HAVE LAGLE YOU FEEL" "OR YOU NEED FIND A WAY TO STANDING RITHT BESIDE YOU"
