way too many times.

Mm. Excuse me.

I don't wantyou moving

halfway around the world.

Claire, you're such a ruiner!

( scoffs )

I'd gone, like, a halfhour

without thinking about it.

Hailey, I'm sorry, but...

Besides,

I haven't kissed Raymond yet.

( giggles )

So I'm not going anywhere.

CLAI RE:

She could poke an eye out.

We just... we have to decode

his body language.

- ( groans )

- Look, it's fine.

I mean, if

he's into her,

he'll shake his hair,

stretch his arms

- and flex those muscles.

- Yeah?

( chuckles )

Wha-What was that?

Fingers. That was fingers

through the hair.

I mean, technically,

that wasn't shaking.

Right?

( Hailey, Claire gasp )

Please, gods oflove,

no shake,

no stretch,

no flex, no...

( both muttering )

flip his sunglasses

up and down, we're fine.

Hey, Ray, think fast!

- oh!

- ( Cecilia screams )

- RAY:
Yo...

- I can't look anymore.

- You...

- Sorry!

I figured you

could catch.

- Right.

- My bad.

oh.

What? Did he flip them?

You know, it's

really sunny out.

- It doesn't count.

- Yeah.

CLAI RE:

Say something.

You're never gonna get a tan

wearing all those clothes.

or skin cancer.

Please, we don't

even smoke.

to a perfect day.

after dinner, right?

We can hang out

in the rec room...

No, I have other plans.

Butyou-you promised...

God, chillax.

Your grandma's right.

- But Hailey, I'm...

MoTH ER:

Hey, kiddo!

Hailey, your boxes

won't pack themselves.

Don't put this off

until the movers come.

( sighs )

Come on, Moby,

don't play me like that.

I haven't seen you in days.

Hailey, you can unpack

as much as you want.

We're still moving.

Yeah.

( sighs )

How was the club?

And maybe I could get more

than one syllable this time?

- It was fine.

- Mm-hmm.

Thatwas three.

( sighs )

I'm sorry, sweetheart,

but... you didn't want

to leave

Boston, either, remember?

And lookwhat happened.

You met Claire.

Australia could be another

amazing adventure for us, Hails.

So... how about

we start packing your room?

So how about I live here

with Claire till I'm 1 8?

How about... we go back

to fewer syllables?

Cool.

That was one.

( groans )

REPoRTER:

A storm warning is in effect...

HAI LEY ( giggles ):

So that's where Cecilia Banks

gets all the drama.
