Mr. Morton walks down the street. Mr. Morton walks.

LIZY pulls up to the house, parking badly.

LIZY opens car door and gets out of the car, taking her book.

LIZY starts calling ZACH from the sidewalk, even though the front door is open, because LIZY knows that walking into a house unannounced is rude.

ZACH is already there, opening the door. LIZY walks in.

LIZY starts taking off her shoes, because LIZY knows that they do not like dirty shoes walking around the house, especially on the new carpet.

ZACH says that bringing a book is rude.

ZACH
"You don't being a book to someone's house when you're going to hang out with them!"
LIZY
"I don't think it's rude. We may end up at separate ends of the couch."

ZACH shakes his head a bit and shows LIZY the computer room, where he is playing Team Fortress 2, one of LIZY's favorite games. ZACH directs LIZY to a desktop computer tower.

LIZY
"Sit on a computer?"
ZACH
"Yeah."

LIZY agrees, but is not comfortable. LIZY puts her forehead on ZACH's soft shoulder and watches ZACH try to find a server to play on.

LIZY tries to help, but is talking too much, and puts her forehead on ZACH's shoulder again.

The computer freezes. LIZY tries to list the ingredients needed for burritos while ZACH is waiting for the computer to restart.

ZACH tells LIZY to be quiet.

ZACH
"Do you have to talk all the time? Do you think l before you talk?"

LIZY does not talk as much, and puts her head on ZACH's shoulder again. ZACH tells LIZY that it is annoying and she should stop.

LIZY is listing ingredients again, but in her head only.
