Guess who followed me on Twitter?
Henry and Eleanor!
Separately. I mean, they have separate Twitter accounts. Obviously.
I've just been sitting here for the past...five minutes. Just deciding whether or not I should message them
to ask to hang out. I just keep talking myself out of it.
I mean, they're just so...like, smart and interesting, and attractive
and they're just the kind of people who have their lives together.
So...I don't know--
[Knock on the door]
[door opens]
-Um, hey?
[Isabella] -Ok, why haven't you been answering my texts?
-Um, I mean my phone's way over there...
[Jamie] -Well, if you had been looking at your phone, you would have had fair warning.
-Of?
[Jamie] -Of us barging in and stealing you away!
[Isabella] -Come on....let's go! We're going on a picnic and you can bring your camera and you can make a montage!
-You're going on a picnic?
-We're going on a picnic. Come on, Cathy!
-Ok.
[Isabella, singing] Let's goooo!
[John] -I'll probably go to grad school at Princeton. I mean, their program there is far superior to anything else in the field.
and plus if I live in New Jersey I can obviously have a car. Unlike here.
-I prefer walking.
-Yeah but do you intend to live in New York for the rest of your life? Everywhere else you need a car.
-Well I think you can make it in some other places without a car.
-Yeah but it's a huge hassle.
-Well maybe it's worth it to reduce your carbon footprint.
-So nobody should have cars?
-Well, I mean, no, that's not what I mean, so.
-How about...convertibles? Everybody loves convertibles.
Have you ever ridden in one?
-I think I did but it was a long time ago....I don't really remember it.
-Ok, well next year when I get my Audi, we will.
-Um, ok. Sure.
-And we'd have to drive out into the country. Not the city.
-You know, your car would get pretty dirty in the country. Trust me, I know.
-That's what car washes are for. Oh, and we'd have to go upstate
because you can't get away with speeding in the city as easily as you can in the country
and with a car like that, you want to speed a bit.
-Hey, you can take me for a drive if Catherine doesn't want to go.
-Yeah, me too. I want to go in a convertible. I want to drive a convertible.
-While blasting Taylor Swift!
-Actually, I've got to agree with you. Taylor Swift would make some good convertible music.
-So....
Read any good books lately?
-Yeah, um, I just picked up the History of Britain and Ireland.
And it basically covers everything from the Roman conquest.
It's really great. I can lend it to you if you like.
-Oh, um, thanks, but I probably won't have time before school starts to finish that.
I mean, I know that you don't like Harry Potter, but do you read any fiction?
-Not really. I mean it's all just...unrealistic.
And...don't you think you're a bit old for Harry Potter?
-It's a story that people of all ages can appreciate.
-Like...I think the only fiction I read is...I don't know...Stephen King?
-Oh!
-And I also read that series about um...there's this girl and she really likes archery.
And I think she like...killed someone.
-Oh, the Hunger Games! Yeah. You read that? See, that's young adult ficiton.
-Is it?
-Yeah.
-That's why it was so ridiculous then. I mean, honestly, I don't know how people come up with this.
Like, these stories are...not good.
-I mean, didn't you pick up on the parallels to ancient Rome in the Hunger Games? Like there were a lot of Roman names.
-You know, it was actually a long time ago so think I it might've been something else.
-Ok...
-Yeah, but I mean, if you're into like, all this Roman stuff I have some great non-fic books you can read.
-Sure...uh...I'll let you know. If I want to...
-Hey guys, I'm starving, and we've been here for like hours, and we didn't pack any snacks, so can we get something to eat?
-Yeah, uh, pizza?
[Jamie & Isabella] Yeah.
-Cool. Uh, have you had New York pizza yet, Catherine?
-Umm, no, actually.
-Oh, ok, well right now I'm doing an experiment where I'm going to all the top pizza places
and I am, I'm rating their pizzas.
And so I'm going to analyze all the data and compile it.
And then I'm gonna actually determine which one has the best pizza.
You know, it's it's all in the crust.
-I could really go for some pizza right now.
-Ok, well, I'm actually going to go back to the Allens'. We're going to a thing tonight...
-Well, you are missing out.
[Isabella] -Do you know how to get back?
-Yeah, I do, I'll be fine. Thanks for the invite, I just, you know.
[Isabella, mumbling] -Whatever. Missing out. Where are my shoes?
