Kale

“Well I’m not really moving-moving, but I'm moving.”

Katherine

“Wait, what do you mean?”

Kale

“It’s more like a trip that will last a long time, a very long time.”

Katherine

“That’s just another way of saying moving.”

Kale

“Let’s not worry about that right now, how have you been?”

Katherine

“Well sh*t, now school’s going to suck without you. Of course the first time we see each other outside of school is also the last. Why didn’t you tell me at school?”

Kale

“It was kind of a last minute thing to be honest, it is weird seeing you out of school for once.”

Katherine

“It is strange not being on a leash for once.”

Kale

“I can relate to that, we’re usually both locked in our houses. I’m surprised your dad let you out.”

Katherine

“Oh, he didn’t, he passed out a while ago.”

Kale

“Oh, man. I’m sorry.”

Katherine

“For what?”

Kale

“Well, it’s like 7:00pm.”

Katherine

“Don’t worry about it, It’s just another day for me.”

Kale

“You want to talk about it?”

Katherine

“No thanks, I feel like I’ve already made it too morbid. Let's bowl.”

[It cuts to later and the two are having a great time]

Kale

“How have you gotten two more strikes than me?”

Katherine

“You mean two strikes? You have zero”

Kale

“Bowlings not really my strength”

Katherine

“Your Strength? (She laughs) Bowlings not anyones strength, it’s an activity.”

Kale

“Well it’s not my greatest sport then.”

Katherine

“What sport are you good at?”

Kale

“Sport? Uhh, I don’t really play sports”

Katherine

“Do you have any hobbies?”

Kale

“Is music a hobby?”

Katherine

“Well, not really, but sure. What type of music do you like?”

Kale

“Classic Rock all the way”

Katherine

“Ooh nice.What about? the Beatles or the Rolling Stones?”

Kale

“Both great bands, but I’m going to have to go with the Beatles”

Katherine

“Oh come on, that’s such a basic answer. Everyone says the Beatles changed music, but they only came out three years before the Rolling stones.”

Kale

“You asked. It’s not just that they changed music but that they have so many songs that are gold to my ears. By far my favorite band of all time.”

Katherine

“Gold to my ears? Ok grandpa”

Kale

“I mean come on, Eleanor Rigby, Let it Be, so many others.”

Katherine

“I can tell your like a super fanboy to these guys so I’m not gonna even bother arguing”

Kale

“Have you ever thought that maybe you're the weird one for not liking the Beatles?”

Katherine

“My dad plays a lot of the Beatles so I got really sick of them.”

[The concern and remorse in Kale’s eyes are evident, as if a sudden realization has struck him.]

Kale

“Do you get along with your father? Yeah, he drinks, but is he a good father?”
