08x06 - Charity Begins at Home

[bunniefuu]

(organ playing)

Morning.

Morning. Morning.

I had planned on talking
about today's readings.

I-I had my sermon
all ready to go.

Then I read the paper, and
as I flipped through the pages,

something occurred to me.

You know, since September ,

the news in the world
hasn't been very good.

w*r, m*rder, political unrest,

stock market problems,

CEOs bankrupting corporations,

racial problems, terrorism,

governments
running out of money,

kids committing crimes.

This is what fills the
pages of our papers.

This is what we
hear on the radio.

This is what we see on the TV.

I know that many
of you find this news

as upsetting as I do.

I hear it in our
phone conversations.

I... I read it

in your letters
and your e-mails.

Let's face it: there's a...

a general feeling of
pessimism in our congregation

and it's spreading, and we
need to do something about it.

(churchgoers mumbling)

Now, the way I see it,

we all have talents,

talents that can be used
to make a better church,

a better community,
a better world,

and what I propose we all do

is that we take our special
talent, whatever that may be,

and, and reach out
to someone in need.

(chuckling): Now...

that could mean anything,

from simply praying for someone

to, uh, to joining a
volunteer organization

to starting your own group

to, to do some project
that would benefit others.

Maybe you're a, a plumber

or an electrician
or a carpenter.

Can you afford to give the
church one Saturday a month

to help with repairs?

Well, that's what
I'm talking about.

Maybe you're a
stay-at-home mother

who can help a mother
working outside the home

by including her
children for... one meal

one night a week.

You can ask Annie how it's done.

We do it almost every
meal at our house.

Or maybe you're a, a student
who can tutor younger students.

I mean,

you see what I'm getting at?

We can all do

something.

Even if it's just to
pray for someone

who you know needs
some extra prayers.

So...

take that piece of paper

that's just been
handed to you...

and write down

one good thing that you will do
for someone other than yourself

in the coming year.

Because today I want us

to fill our collection plate
with commitments, not cash.

Today... I want
us to take our faith

outside these church walls
and share it with the community,

with each other,
and with the world.

Today I want us
to take the first step

in making our
world a better place.

WOMAN: Amen.

We can do it

one person

at a time,

one good act at a time.

So...

let's, let's all get
out there and...

(chuckles)

just keep growing, keep
expanding our reach.

Okay, let's, let's get out there

and, and be the wind
beneath the wings

of our faith.

Come on.

When is Mom coming
home from Grandpa's?

Oh, not for a couple of days.

You tired of my cooking already?

In a word, yes.

Does this mean you won't
be staying for dinner tonight?

No. Yes.

Well, I told my mom I
was staying for dinner,

that is unless Ruthie
doesn't want me to.

It's just that you've
been staying a lot lately

and I don't want your
mom to get lonely.

My mom's fine.

Well, then we'd better set
another place at the table.

By the way, inspiring
service today.

Trying to change the
world one good act at a time,

one person at a time.

You're like the
Gandhi of Glenoak.

Thanks.

So, uh, have you two decided

what good you're
going to do for others?

Well, I think my
talent's friendship.

I mean, I've got
a lot of talents,

but I'm really good
at making friends,

getting to know people,

so I was thinking

of eating lunch with this
new girl at school... Jill.

She's a transfer student
from some private school

and she needs a friend

or at least someone
to eat lunch with.

Sounds good.

I'm still working on mine.

Take your time.

So what are you going to do?

What good act are
you going to do?

Well, my good act is, you know,

to help everyone in the
church do good for others.

I'm going to help everyone
keep the commitments they make.

What?

Gandhi did more than
just counsel people.

He got in there and
he got his hands dirty.

Well...

I'm just saying that maybe

instead of helping lots of
people like you always do,

that you should just
focus on one person.

Isn't that what you're
asking all of us to do?

Then again, I'm .

What do I know?

Right?

What's that for?

I'm in a great mood.

I finally figured out what
I can do for the church,

how best to use
my skills and talents.

Oh, well, you're a
very talented kisser.

True, but if I were to share
that talent with anyone else,

I'd probably get in trouble.

Mm.

I'm gonna start a
neighborhood watch.

I'm gonna teach everybody
in the neighborhood

how to protect themselves

and their family
and their property.

Isn't that a great idea?

Yeah.

And I thought you and
I could do it together.

I know crime prevention
and you know the neighbors,

and... hey, you're the
one who always wants us

to do more things
together as a couple.

Yeah.

And you're the one who says

we don't spend
enough time together,

what with your school
schedule and my work schedule.

True.

And you're the one who
always wanted to know

what it was like
to be my partner.

Yeah.

I don't understand.

I thought you'd be
happy about this,

about us working together.

I am happy, I am very happy.

So... partners?

Hey, dinner's almost ready.

Time to wash up.

BOTH: All clean.

CECILIA: They're clean.

The bathroom is another story.

I-I don't know how to
thank you for helping out.

With Annie out of town,
you've been a godsend.

Well, I'm glad to
do whatever I can.

I like being with all you guys.

You're like a
second family to me.

Stay for dinner?

Yeah...

Stay for dinner.

Are you sure?

Uh, if you can stand my cooking.

With all you've
been doing for us,

it's, it's the least I can do.

Well, if the boys want
me to stay, I'll stay.

Sit next to me.

No, me.

I'll sit in between
both of you two.

How about that?

I'll see you in a minute.

I just have to
make a phone call.

(sighs)

I was just dropping off my
paper for Reverend Camden.

My commitment.

How long are you gonna do this?

Do what? Come to church.

Am I not welcome at church?

Aren't you uncomfortable?

Are you uncomfortable?

Considering our past

and that we're not
dating anymore,

uh, yes, I'm uncomfortable.

Well, that's your
problem, not mine,

Reverend.

I don't think I like the
way you say "Reverend."

Well, I don't like what
you're asking me to do.

What am I asking you to do?

You're asking me not to
come to church anymore.

You know, I should
turn you in to someone.

I'm not asking you to stop
going to church altogether.

Just... this church.

Okay... just admit

that you're only coming
here to be around me.

No.

Well, then, just admit that
you're still in love with me.

No.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Carlos, it's Eric.

Eric who? Eric Camden.

Oh, hi, Colonel, how are you?

No, Carlos.

Eric, Mary's father.

Oh, oh, oh, I'm...
I'm sorry, Reverend.

It's just that I know you as
Reverend, you know, not Eric.

And to be honest with you,
your family is so confusing.

Lots of people here and there.

And I met everyone
so quickly that...

Carlos, it's okay.

Uh, uh, anyhow, uh,
Mary is, uh, not home.

Late flight.

But I'll let her
know you called.

Good talking to you.

(sighs)

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Carlos. Yes.

I wasn't calling
to talk to Mary.

I was calling to talk to you.

Me? Yes, you.

(chuckling): Are you sure? Yes.

What, did I do something wrong?

No.

But you want to speak with me?

Yes, I do.

Actually...

I'd love to talk to
you face to face.

Hombre a hombre.

Okay, hombre... hombre.

Can you get a flight
pass from Mary?

Yeah, I mean,
I-I... I guess I could.

Good, 'cause I-I checked
the flight schedule,

and-and there's a
nonstop flight in the morning

that will get you into Glenoak
tomorrow around : .

You'll be here
in time for dinner.

Uh, but Mary won't
be home for two days.

I don't want Mary to come.

I-I want you to come alone.

Alone?

So, will you... come for dinner?

Yeah, I-I-I suppose,
if it's important.

Uh, yeah.

It's important.

Okay, then, I, um...
I'll see you tomorrow.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Hi, Eric, it's me.

(sighs) It's so good
to hear your voice.

I... I really miss you.

I miss you, too.

So...

how did your sermon go over?

Did the congregation respond
to your idea about reaching out

and helping others
in the community?

I-I think so.

You know, almost half the people

have turned in commitments
to do good for others.

Oh, that's great. It is.

Let me say a quick
hi to Sam and David

before I have to take
Dad to the doctor.

They're not here. Let me
guess: they're with Cecilia?

Yeah. Doesn't she have school?

Well, she has the day off, so
she took the boys to the movies.

Then they were gonna go to
the zoo and then to the park.

Detective Michaels is gonna
meet with us this afternoon.

He's excited about setting up

the neighborhood watch.

Apparently,

there have been quite a
few break-ins in the area.

You okay?

No, you're not okay.

What's up?

What's wrong?

Well, it's just that... (sighs)

what do I know
about crime prevention

and neighborhood watches?

I'm not a police officer.

I'm a divinity student.

Hey, don't worry.

We're a team, remember?

You handle the neighbors,

and I'll handle
the police stuff.

Really, I just don't want
you to feel obligated

to do something with me
just because I'm your wife.

I don't feel obligated.

I'd be disappointed
if you didn't help me.

I really want us
to work together.

There's Jill.

I should do this alone.

But I want to help you.

Lately, you've been
helping me a little too much.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you should
find your own project.

And maybe you
should eat... eat dinner

at your own house
a little more often.

I just want to help you.

But I don't want you to help me.

I want to do this by myself.

Understand?

No.

You've been a little
smothering lately.

Just find your
own project, okay?

Hi, I'm Ruthie.

Ruthie Camden.

Who's that?

Peter... he's my friend.

Why is he staring at us?

Well, because we
usually eat lunch together,

but today, I told him I
wanted to eat lunch with you.

Thanks, but I like to eat alone.

Well, maybe we could talk
later, after you eat alone.

I don't really know
you that well, and...

That's because you've
never talked to me before.

You're new. I've been going
to this school for months.

Okay, what's the
deal with that guy?

Just ignore him. I can't.

Seriously, I just want to talk.

I want to get to know you.

If that were true,
this wouldn't be

the first time you talked to me.

So, you run the
at-risk youth program?

Yeah, and I'm glad you called.

We could really
use some volunteers

with counseling experience.

Well, tell me about the program.

Most of the kids we help
have parents who are,

for various reasons, not able

to give them the time
and attention they need.

Hmm... and what
reasons are those?

Prison, mostly.

I have to ask.

I'm glad for the help,

but what made you
want to volunteer?

Oh, uh, there's this,
uh, project at my church.

Well, actually, um...

uh, volunteering for this
program was, uh, something

that my ex-girlfriend
and I had looked into, uh...

a few months ago.

She's a police officer, and...

with my background
in counseling,

it seemed like a common
area for us to... I don't know...

Do some good and still
spend some time together.

But we, uh, broke up

before we actually got
around to doing anything.

So, I guess I'm
gonna have to settle

for doing good all by myself.

Well, maybe not.

This ex-girlfriend...
what's her name?

Uh, Roxanne.

Huh.

And since you and Roxanne
broke up, how do you two get along?

We don't. Huh.

Yeah, she's angry with
me, and I'm angry with her.

There's a lot of anger.

That's too bad.

Why is that?

So, now what?

After school, I'm gonna
go over to her apartment.

If she won't talk to me here,

maybe she'll talk to me there.

Well, then, I
guess I'll meet you

after math class and
walk over with you.

No, I told you before.

I want to do this alone.

By myself.

Why?

Because I do.

But I was thinking about what
your father said in church...

You know, using your
talents to help others...

And I think my talent might
be best used helping you.

So, I want to commit
to helping you this year.

You're my project.

Like your dad said,

pick something that
you're good at doing,

and I'm good at helping you.

It's perfect.

Okay, first of all,
I don't need help.

And second of all, I don't
want to be your project.

What's wrong with being
someone else's project?

Jill's your project.

Jill needs help.

I do not need help!

Everyone can use a
little help now and then.

What I need is to
spend less time with you.

If we want this
relationship to last,

we each have to
have our own interests.

Don't you watch Dr. Phil?

WOMAN (over PA system): Your
attention, please, this is the flight...

Sir, you're holding
up the flight.

Sir, you either have
to get on the plane

or step away from the gate.

Okay, seriously,
sir, which is it?

Are you staying
or are you going?

Or am I calling security?

Maybe we should
reschedule the meeting.

I don't know what
can be keeping Lucy.

Not to worry, I've
got some time tonight.

I can't meet you tonight.

I've got to pick up
Carlos at the airport.

Is everything okay?
Honestly, I don't know,

but for Carlos's
sake, I hope so.

We'll find some
time later in the week

to discuss the
neighborhood watch...

when Lucy's available.

(sighs)

Okay, I know you're
still in love with me,

but I had no idea you
were capable of this.

You looked at the note I left

for Reverend Camden, didn't you?

Oh, come on, how
else did you end up here

at the exact same charity

I picked to volunteer for?

You really don't remember?

Remember what?

We talked about volunteering
for this months ago.

Months ago when
we were still dating.

Oh, yeah.

And I looked at the note
you left for Reverend Camden.

I knew it.

Uh, your note is
official church business,

and I am an official
at the church.

So I'm right.

You're not here to
help troubled kids.

You're here because
you're still in love with me.

You know, that is sad.

That is really, really sad.

And I'm right, too.

The only reason
you even go to church

is because you're
still in love with me.

Now, that's sad.
That's really sad.

I am not still in love with you.

I've moved on.

Who have you "moved on" with?

It is none of your business.

You haven't moved on.

Paul.

CHANDLER: Paul who?

Wha... you want to date
teen counselor Paul?

We met last week for coffee

to discuss the program,

and we have a lot in common.

Like I said, "I've moved on."

So what is this,

a dating service/crisis
center for you?

Why are you getting so upset?

Why? Yes.

Why? Why do you care
about anything that I do?

Why? Why?

Yes, why?

Because I'm still in
love with you, you idiot.

That's why.

(knocking)

How much did you hear?

I heard the part about
you wanting to date me.

When you get things
settled with Chandler,

come back and we'll talk.

CECILIA (on phone):
Camden residence.

Cecilia?

Hi, Mrs. Camden. Why are
you answering the phone?

Nobody's home except
for me, Sam and David.

Home?

Yeah, we just got
back from the zoo.

They love the zoo.

I know Sam and
David love the zoo.

Well, you want me to tell
Reverend Camden you called?

Yes, thank you.

And I'd like to talk
to Sam and David.

They're actually taking
their nap right now.

Wake them. But it's
so hard to get them

to go back to sleep once
they've been woken up.

Oh, I know.

Yeah, and I wouldn't
be asking you to wake up

my children, but I
haven't been able

to talk to my children all
the other times I've called,

because every time I
call you've got my children

at the Promenade or the zoo

or the park or the movies.

I don't want to upset you.

I, I just want to help
and fill in where needed.

Yes, but maybe you're
helping too much.

You know, I don't need
anyone to fill in for me.

I'm only in Phoenix.

I'll be coming back.

Ever since Simon left,

you've been going
to church with us.

You've been having
dinner with us.

You've been
having lunch with us.

You know, you've been
taking care of the boys.

And I-I-I don't mean
to hurt your feelings,

but you've been spending way
too much time with our family.

And way too much
time with Sam and David.

It's not good for them
and it's not good for you.

You know, you're
not their mother, I am.

You know, I think it'd be
better for everyone if you spent

less time at our house,

and, and less time
with Sam and David.

Cecilia?

I'll go get Sam and David,

then I'll call Mrs. Poole
and see if she'll stay

with the boys until someone
from your family comes home.

You don't have to leave
the house this minute.

I just meant, you know...

I heard you. I know
what you meant.

You want me to leave,
and so I'm going to leave.

(phone clicks off)

(sighs)

Can I help you?

Hi. I'm Ruthie Camden.

I'm waiting for a friend.
Who's your friend?

Her name's Jill.

She lives in this apartment.
Do you know her?

Yes, I do. Do you know
when she'll be home?

Every day after school,

Jill helps her
mother with her work,

and then they eat
dinner together.

How do you know Jill?
We go to school together.

Oh, I didn't know Jill
had any new friends.

Well, we're not friends exactly.

I just met her and I
wanted to talk to her

and, hopefully, be her friend.

She wouldn't talk
to me at school,

so I thought I'd try
to talk to her here.

Jill likes to keep to
herself. Do you know why?

I don't think she
really trusts kids.

How come? Well, the
kids at her old school

used to tease her quite a bit.

Do you know why? I do.

But I think it's
for Jill to tell you

or not tell you what
happened at her old school.

But I'll let her know
that you stopped by.

You're Jill's father.

Mr. Dupree.

But you can call me Moe.

It was nice talking
with you, Ruthie.

I'll let Jill know
that you stopped by.

What's going on?

I need to talk to you.

Me, too. Yeah, me, too.

And me.

Individually or as a group?

Individually.

Is this about my church project?

Yes. I'm not sure.

Kind of. Yes and no.

Okay, well, who's first?

This is usually
where we get out.

I can't.

Hey, we've all been there.

It's a small club.

Actually, you're the
newest member. Welcome.

"The club"? The club for men

married to the daughters
of Reverend Eric Camden.

But I don't even know
what I'm doing here.

You don't?

Do you know why I'm here?

Reverend Camden asked me

to pick you up at the airport.

He asked me to fly , miles

just to have dinner with him?

That could be good or bad news.

Maybe we should
sit here for a while

till you're ready to go in.

Or we could just drive away.

You'll have to come
back eventually.

Face him and whatever he wants.

Well, yeah
eventually, but not now.

Please.

You're serious.

I'm very scared.

Come on, I don't want Mary

to have to choose
between me and her family.

Drive! What?

Just drive. Now.

Are you sure? Yes! Go!

Your father let me in.

I come bearing peace.

And pizza.

Can we talk?

I don't want to talk to you.

What do you want to do?

The same thing you want to do.

(knocking) (sighs)

Dad, I told you I
don't want to talk.

I just...

what are you doing here?

You're supposed
to be in Phoenix.

I know, but I missed my family.

So, I caught the last flight

and I came straight
here from the airport. I am

I'm so sorry. So sorry.

You're right.

Ever since Simon left

I've been spending way
too much time at your house.

But being with everybody
especially Sam and David,

well, it makes me
miss Simon less.

But don't worry. From now on,

no more church, dinners,

or playing with Sam and David.

Cecilia, I am not upset with you

for spending time at our house

and-and time with Sam and David.

I'm upset with myself

for not being able to be at
two places at the same time.

I'm upset with myself

for not being able to
take care of my dad

and my children
at the same time.

I'm upset because
I have to choose

and I don't like my choices.

My father's Alzheimer's
is getting worse.

I'm so sorry.

So, I, I want to spend
more time with him.

But you see that means
going to Phoenix more often.

On weekends, or-or maybe a week

or more each month
away from my family here.

So that means I have to
choose between my two families.

I, I have to choose
between my father

and my children,
specifically Sam and David.

And where do I fit into this?

Well, you're getting
close to Sam and David,

and wanting to spend
so much time with them.

And they're wanting to
spend so much time with you.

Well, it made me
feel like a bad mother.

Like I was neglecting
my own children.

So, if I'm already
neglecting my own children,

then I certainly can't find time

to be with my father, right?

It's hard for you to understand.

But when you're the
mother of young children,

and you have a...

elderly sick parent...

well, the choices aren't easy.

You know, you
want to do for all,

but you can't.

You have to make choices.

Ultimately sacrifices.

I know I don't
understand all the details.

But I don't see
what the problem is.

I mean, I want to spend
time with your family.

And Sam and David and you
need to have time with your father.

Well, why can't I watch the
boys when you go to Phoenix?

Or why can't I go to Phoenix
with you some weekend

so you can take the boys

but still be able to
take care of your father?

Or why can't I take care
of things around the house

while you're off to Phoenix
with the boys and your dad?

I can, you know.

I can do that.

I want to do that.

Because I just want to help.

Your family is
like family to me,

Simon or no Simon.

Oh, Cecilia, I
couldn't ask you...

You're not asking
me. I'm volunteering.

I'll tell you what.

I'm gonna write down
what we talked about

and give it to Reverend Camden.

And if you want my help,
all you have to do is call.

So, I'm your
commitment for the year?

You said we all have talents.

I think mine is best used
to help you and your family.

I think you might be the
answer to my prayers.

You know,

that's just what Reverend
Camden thought, too.

Oh!

Kevin said you were
waiting for me in here.

How are you?

Fine. Fine.

Good. The flight?

Nice.

They-They gave me nuts.

This is because
I'm Catholic, isn't it?

You're Catholic?
I won't convert.

I-I wouldn't ask you to.

Well, then, why am I here?

(sighs)

To have dinner.

You wanted me to fly , miles

just to have dinner with you?

Everything with you and
Mary happened so fast.

I mean, one day I find out
you're married to my daughter.

The next day, I find out
you and Mary are expecting.

The next day, you
and Mary are gone.

Mary and I have, uh,
had our differences

over the years, and, uh, well,

it could be very easy

for all of us to lose contact
and just become strangers.

Actually, you already
are a stranger,

which is why I wanted
you to come to dinner.

So I'm making a commitment

to spend the next year
getting to know you better.

And-And staying in
touch with my daughter.

Whether that's, uh,
phone calls or e-mails,

or, you know, visits,
whatever it takes.

We're gonna do it.

Because

my family is my world.

And there's nothing
more important to me.

Nothing.

So,

I guess what I wanted to
say to you in person is, uh,

you know,

welcome to the family, son.

(laughs)

Well, thanks... Dad.

(both laugh)

Ooh! So this-this
was a good thing?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. No,
this is a good thing.

Yeah.

Well, maybe next time,

you can tell me before
I get on the airplane.

Come on. You missed dinner.

I'll get you a sandwich.

So, Mary didn't mention
that you're Catholic.

Interesting. Very interesting.

I'm not going anywhere, Lucy.

Come on out of
there and talk to me.

What happened to you today?

(door opening)

I don't want to help you

with your neighborhood
watch program.

I want my own project.

I want to get back involved
with Habitat for Humanity.

So?

So?

You're not upset?

Just that you blew me
off today without calling.

You're not upset that we
aren't going to work together?

No. I mean, I thought
it would be fun,

and frankly, I thought
that if I didn't ask you

to do something
with me, you'd be hurt.

You're the one
who's always saying

we don't do enough together.

So, you're okay?

If you're okay?

I'm okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

And just for the record,

next time something's
bothering you,

no matter how you
think I'm going to react,

talk to me.

We're in this marriage together.

That's what my
dad said, kind of.

Your father's a smart man.

Yes, he is.

What?

So does this mean...?

This doesn't change anything.

(clears throat)

We're still broken up?

Maybe I, uh...
maybe I should leave.

Do you want to leave?

But?

We're not together.

(sighs)

What about Paul?

What about him?

You still want to date him?

We're not together anymore.

Yeah.

We're not together anymore.

So I should leave.

(sighs)

Chandler...

Uh, good luck with Paul.

Now you can have

your at-risk youth of Glenoak,

and, uh, teen counselor Paul.

Because, uh,

I guess Reverend
Camden was right.

It's time for me to move on.

To really,

really move on.

Good-bye, Roxanne.

(door closes)

I talked to your dad.

I had a feeling you did.

Why?

Because my dad talked to me.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Look, all summer,

you've been there for
me, through everything.

Through all the bad stuff.

And I just don't want
that to become our thing.

You always trying to help me.

You always trying to
make things better for me.

You trying to make up
for Simon not being there.

I don't want to be your project.

Yeah, I know.

So, friends?

Always.

We need to talk.

I'll, uh, see you later.

My dad told me you
came by yesterday.

Why do you want to
be my friend so badly?

Why do you not want
to be my friend so badly?

Look, nothing personal,
but I don't like kids.

You're a kid.

Yeah, but I'm not mean,

and I don't call kids names.

What happened
at your old school?

My dad didn't tell you?

No.

He didn't tell you
we were Muslim?

Well, we are.

We're Muslim.

Okay.

I have other Muslim friends.

I've been to a mosque.

I don't care that you're Muslim.

Wait. At your old school,

were the kids mean to
you because you're Muslim?

Is that why you
left and came here?

I hated that school.

Is that why you
go to class alone?

Why you eat lunch alone?

Why you won't talk
to me or anyone else?

Why you don't want to
be friends with anyone?

I don't want anyone
to know I'm Muslim.

Well, you have to give
kids here a chance.

You have to give me a chance.

We're not all bad,
like at your old school.

You don't understand

what's it like to be a Muslim
in America after September .

That day changed everything.

Everyone hates us.

And they hate us 'cause
they don't understand us.

And they don't understand
us 'cause they don't know us.

Well, let me get to know you.

Let me be your friend.

What happens when your
parents find out I'm Muslim?

Or your other friends
find out that I'm Muslim?

My parents won't care,
and any friend of mine

that doesn't want
to be your friend

just because you're
Muslim isn't a friend

that I'm interested in keeping.

Come on. It's just lunch.

What do you have to lose?

I promise you

that if you'll be my friend,
I won't let you down.

Really. Trust me.

Okay.

I'll do it.

Really?

Yeah, sure.

Let's have lunch.

Are you walking to
lunch with us or what?

Sure.

And Jill's walking
with us, okay?

Do you guys know Jill?

No.

Well, this is Jill.

She's new.

And Jill, this is Emily,

Lauren and Kristen.

They're friends of mine.

And Jill's a new friend.

Let's go.
