Transcript:

Hey, how did you know I was reading Moby Dick? - I've been watching you. - Watching me?
I mean, not in a creepy, like, "I'm watching you" sort of way. - I just, I've noticed you. - Me? - Yeah. - When? Every day. After school you come out and you sit under that tree there and you read. Last week it was Madame Bovary. This week it's Mody Dick. - But why would you -- Because you're nice to look at. And because you've got unbelievable concentration.

what? Last Friday these two guys were tossing around a ball and one guy was nailed in the face. I mean, it was a mess, blood everywhere, the nurse came out. The place was in chaos, his girlfriend was all freaking out and you just sat there and read. You never even  looked up. I thought, I have never seen anyone read so intensely before in my entire life. I have to meet that girl. Maybe I just didn't look up because I'm unbelievably self-centered. Maybe, but I doubt it. - Did I ask if you like cake? Yeah, you did. Oh, 'cause they have really good cake back there.

So, you were late getting home tonight. Yeah, I went to the library. -Oh. I forgot to tell  we're having dinner with your grandparents tomorrow night. - We are? - Mm-hmm. Yeah. But it's September. - So? - What holiday's in September? - It's not a holiday thing. - It's just dinner, okay? - Fine, sorry. Red meat can kill you. Enjoy. So, I finished hemming your skirt today.
