Screenplay Part 2

Int. AloNZO'S DESK - ConTINUOUS

Alonzo

So, it's a British television show...?

Mona

Yeah... Pretty brilliant, actually.

AlonZO

Interesting...

Alonzo scrolls down on the screen.

Alonzo

So is this, like the new popular thing?

mona

Ha! Hardly. It started in the 60's, so not really new; and there aren't many people who like science-fiction TV shows these days.

Alonzo

I bet you have tons of internet friends that do, though.

Mona

Oh, yeah. What is the internet for, but for the uniting of people with similar interests?

Alonzo

I'm pretty sure they created it so that teachers could make students do more research papers.

Mona

No kidding, right?

int. dr. SHARP'S OFFICE - contINUOUS

Dr. Sharp is just finishing his questioning of David and Annalise. They stand up and both shake his hand.

Dr. SHARP

Now, I'd like to talk with Mona alone.

David and Annalise exit the office and walk down the hallway. They find Mona and Alonzo speaking about something that is on Alonzo's laptop.

David

Dr. Sharp will see you now.

He indicated the open doorway they had just exited

Mona

Not unless I'm invisible.

David

Right...

Mona walks past David and Annalise back down the hallway and into Dr. Sharp's open door. She closes it.

Dr. SharP

Oh, hello again. Please sit down.

Mona

Darn. I don't get a seat this time?

Dr. Sharp laughs. He opens a notebook and grabs a pen. Mona looks suspicious.

Mona

Are you writing notes on me now? Do I have to stop being clever and start being emotional?

Dr. SHARP

I don't know. Do what you want.

Mona

That's a new one.

Dr. SHARP

How would you say you've been adjusting to your life with the Sandsons?

Mona

Would you like me to rate it on a scale from 1 to 10?

Dr. SHARP

That would be most helpful.

mona

Well, that's too bad. I'm horrible at rating things.

Dr. Sharp looks amused.

Dr. SHARP

I know Dr. Steinbeck loves having people rate things.

Mona

Oh, yeah, I know. I would just pick whatever number came to my mind, then he'd want me to explain why I said that number. He didn't like that too much.

Dr. SHARP

Like how there is no "I don't know" option on multiple choice tests?

Mona

Or how there is a right answer for questions that say, "What do you think is the best answer"?

Dr. SHARP

It just doesn't make sense.

Mona

Exactly.

Dr. SHARP

Although, David was sort of right.

Mona

How do you mean?

Dr. SHARP

He said that it was hard to talk to you about stuff because you were really good at changing the subject. You never answered my question.

Mona

I don't know how to answer it. I don't know how adjustable I am. It's not something I've thought about before.

Dr. SHARP

How are you feeling? How well did you sleep last night?

Mona

Those were the first two questions Dr. Steinbeck asked me.

Dr. SHARP

Well?

Mona

I don't know. I don't normally sleep "well".

Mona makes air quotes with her fingers.

Dr. SHARP

Why not?

Mona

(sarcastically)

Obviously because I choose not to.

Dr. SHARP

Why don't you sleep well, Mona?

Mona looks uncomfortable. She looks at her hands.

MoNA

I... I don't know. I just don't.

Dr. SHARP

You know, so why don't you tell me?

Mona

The negative connotations surrounding psychiatrists make me disinclined to entrust you with my greatest secrets.

Dr. SHARP

I bet you aren't scared of dentists.

Mona

My dentist was the coolest.

Dr. SHARP

So, why can't your psychiatrist be?

Mona

I don't know you.

Dr. Sharp stares at Mona for a long time, then looks down at his notebook and smiles.

Mona

Why are you smiling?

Dr. Sharp looks up at Mona, and then tips his notebook up so that Mona can see the blank sheet of paper. Mona raises her eyebrows.

Dr. SHARP

Well, Mona. I suppose you may go now. According to what Alonzo has entered into the schedule, your appointments are set for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Mona

Saturdays?

Dr. SHARP

Yes.

Mona looks disappointed as she stands up and leaves the room.

int. Store - day

Mona stands next Annalise who is browsing through a rack of clothes. Annalise pulls out a shirt, grimaces, and puts it back.

Annalise

This is ridiculous.

Mona

Do you want to know a secret?

Annalise

Yes.

Mona

Shop for shirts in the guy's section. Also, if you buy pants that are the same brand, same type, same size, et cetera, then you don't have to worry about trying them on.

Annalise

Hm... Okay, we're buying clothes for you anyway, so why don't you go ahead. Lead on.

Mona walks through the maze of clothing racks to the wall where shelves of folded pairs of pants were stacked. She looks around a little and finds the brand she is looking for. She grabs a few pairs of pants that are her size and hands them to Annalise.

Mona

Pants: done.

Annalise

Nice.

Mona

Very.

Mona then walks back through the girl's section and across an isle to the boy's section. There is a table with a bunch of folded up t-shirts. Most are plain colors, but some have pictures of guitars and stuff on them. Mona grabs several small sized shirts and turns to Annalise.

Mona

We are done.

Annalise

You're a genius.

Mona

Actually, my IQ isn't high enough, but thanks anyway.

Annalise laughs. They walk to the front of the store to a check-out station.

Annalise

Want a treat or something?

Mona

Sure.

Mona grabs a package of Nerds. Annalise laughs. Mona grins.

Annalise

Nice.

Mona

Oh, yeah.

int. Kitchen - EVENING

Mona helps Annalise cook dinner.

Mona

Who's coming over for dinner again?

annalise

The Andersons. They live next door.

Mona

Oh, yeah, the house with the ramps all around the front lawn and the skater kid?

Annalise

Yes. His name is Taavi.

Mona

That's pretty cool.

annaLISE

Yeah, he's a nice kid and he actually cleans up pretty nice for church on Sundays.

Mona

Those kids who's hair is held down solely by their mothers' spit?

Annalise laughs.

Annalise

No, I'm sure he does it all on his own. He walks himself to church even.

Mona

Nice.

David enters the kitchen.

David

I'm taking you to register for school tomorrow.

Mona

Cool, cool, cool.

The doorbell rings. David walks to the door and opens it. A somewhat normal looking man and woman, accompanied by a boy with long hair, a t-shirt with two giraffes forming a heart with their necks on it, skinny jeans, and converse.

Mrs. Anderson

Hello, David, how are you?

David

I'm great.

Mr. Anderson

Thanks for having us.

They walk into the kitchen.

Annalise

Hi!

Mrs. aNDERSON

Hello.

Mr. Anderson sees Mona.

Mr. AnDERSON

Who's this?

David

This is Mona. She's our foster child.

Mr. AndERSON

That's great!

Mona tries not to look doubtful.

Mrs. ANDERSON

What grade are you in?

Mona

I'm a senior.

Mr. ANDERSON

Really? Taavi is a senior as well. That's so cool.

Mona and Taavi eye each other. They nod their greetings.

Annalise finishes her dinner-making and they all go into the dining room. Mona ends up sitting at the far end of the table across from Taavi.

Mona

Awesome shirt.

Taavi

Giraffes love giraffes who...

Mona

love giraffes.

Taavi

I think we can raise the Nerdfighter population in Tremonton to two.

Mona

Is there really no one else?

Taavi

I've tried to do some missionary work, but people just aren't converting.

Mona laughs.

int. david's car - day

Mona sits in the passenger side seat of David's car. Mona is humming something under her breath. David keeps glancing over at her.

David

So, have you thought about what classes you're going to take?

Mona

Not really.

DaVID

Why not?

Mona

I'd have to look at my transcript to see what classes I still need to take. I don't need that many more credits to graduate.

David

Are you taking Seminary?

Mona

I might as well. I've been taking it for three years, so I might as well graduate from Seminary.

David

Why didn't you like Seminary?

Mona

I don't know. I just thought it'd be cooler or something.

David

I think it's pretty cool.

Mona

It might be. I don't know. My teachers were just... Ugh.

David

How so?

Mona

Well, I only had two different teachers because I kept getting the same teachers. It just reminded me too much of Sunday school. I thought that, because they were professionals, they'd be better at teaching it, but they weren't really.

David

Well, I hope you find our teachers more professionals.

Mona

Yeah.

Mona looks away

Int. Counselor's office - day

Mona and David sit next to each other on a couch. There is a desk in front of them and behind the desk sits a short woman.

Mrs. Davies

Okay. According to your transcript, you need your English 12 credit.

Mona

I don't have to take English 12, do I?

Mrs. DAVIES

No. You can take AP Literature...

Mona

Oh, good. Yes, AP Literature it is.

Mrs. Davies looks a little annoyed at the interruption, but writes something down on a piece of paper.

Mrs. DAVIES

You also need to take US Government.

Mona

Okay.

Mrs. Davies

And you have to take either a math class or a science class.

Mona

Ugh, but I already have all my math and science credits.

Mrs. DAVIES

Yes, but you have to have one.

mONA

Lame-sausage...

Mrs. DAVIES

What?

mONA

Do you have a list of classes I can look at?

Mrs. Davies gives Mona a packet. Mona flips through the packet for a moment.

Mona

Does Psychology count as a science credit?

Mrs. DAVIES

I don't think so.

Mona

Why? It's a science... sort of.

Mrs. DAVIES

I'm not sure that will qualify. I can check, though.

Mona

Could you? That would be fantastic.

Mrs. Davies turns to her computer and starts researching. Mona continues to look through the packet.

David

You could take Sculpting.

Both laugh.

Mrs. DAVIES

I think we can count Psychology as a Science class, because you don't need any more Science credits.

Mona

Seriously? That's awesome.

Mrs. DAVIES

That's all for your classes in terms of requirement. You have thirteen class slots left, anything you had in mind?

Mona

Orchestra; three trimesters.

Mrs. Davies nods and writes on her piece of paper.

David

Seminary; three trimesters.

Mona looks at David, who raises his eyebrows challengingly.

Mona

Yeah, whatever.

Mrs. Davies

Anything else catch your eye?

Mona looks back at the packet.

Mona

Cinema, Digital Media, Web Page Design II..

Mrs. DAVIES

Okay... you have three class spots left.

MONA

Do I need any more credits?

Mrs. Davies consults her paper.

Mrs. DAVIES

No.

Mona

Do I have to put classes there?

mrs. DAVIES

What will you do for those class periods?

Mona

It could be my study period. I would probably go to the library.

DaviD

Or you could hang out in my office. Or help out in my class.

Mona

Yeah... I promise not to be a bad child.

Mrs. DAVIES

Technically, we can't force you into any class... Fine.

David holds out a hand and Mona high fives it.

int. liviNG ROOM - NIGHT

Mona, David, and Annalise sit on the couch watching the TV.

David

Are you sure about this?

Mona

Yes.

AnnalISE

It's on at 11?

David

It's probably because nobody wants to watch.

Mona

Hey! Be nice.

David

Sorry.

The Television screen is shown. The opening theme for Doctor Who is playing.

ext. froNT LAWN - DAY

Mona is sitting under her favorite tree, reading. Next door, Taavi walks out of the house with his skateboard and sits on the curb. He takes out a cell phone and starts texting someone. Mona looks up from her book and sees Taavi.

Mona

Hey.

Taavi looks over at her.

Taavi

Hey. Did you watch the Vlogbrothers video for today?

Mona

Nope. I haven't watched any all summer. Nobody in this world believes in Youtube anymore.

Taavi

You should come over sometime and catch up.

Mona

That'd be cool.

Taavi

Are you doing anything today?

Mona

Actually, I have to go see my psychiatrist later.

Taavi

Cool. Is your shrink Stephen Sharp?

Mona

Yeah.

Taavi

Apparently he's pretty cool.

Mona

Eh, he's not bad, for a shrink.

Taavi

Cool... Can I come with you?

Mona

Sure. Actually, David and Annalise have just started trusting me enough to let me walk there, so you could accompany me.

TaaVI

Sweet. Awesome.

ext. STREET - afterNOON

Mona and Taavi walk up to the front door of Dr. Sharp's office building. Alonzo looks up as they walk in.

Alonzo

Hey, Mona. Who's your friend?

Mona

This is Taavi. He's my neighbor.

Taavi

Hi.

Alonzo

Dr. Sharp is in his office.

Mona nods and walks down the hall. Taavi follows. Dr. Sharp looks up from his desk as they walk in. He looks confused.

Dr. SHARP

Did I miss something? Is it bring your friends to therapy day or something?

Mona

Yes. I can't believe you missed the memo.

Dr. SHARP

Me neither.

TaaVI

Is it okay for me to be here?

Dr. SHARP

Yeah, it's cool. It's not like Mona answers questions truthfully anyway.

Mona

Right.

Mona and Taavi sit down.

Taavi

I've never talked to a shrink before.

Dr. SHARP

We like being called psychiatrists or therapists sometimes.

TaaVI

Really? That's cool.

Mona

You usually start out by asking me how I slept.

Dr. SHARP

Yes, I do... am I really becoming that predictable? Should I change things around a bit?

Mona

I don't know. You're the one with a college degree.

Dr. SHARP

That's true.

Taavi

If it's not working, then maybe you need to adjust your routine to fit the person.

Mona

Yeah, coming from the person, you should definitely try something new, like, how about we ask you questions?

Dr. SHARP

This should be interesting.

taaVI

What is your relationship status on Facebook?

Dr. SHARP

How do you know I even have a Facebook?

Taavi

I can just tell these things... You're single.

Dr. SHARP

Why do you say that?

TaaVI

No wedding ring and we're asking the questions here.

Dr. SHARP

Sorry and yes, I am single... Though I don't know why that matters.

Taavi

It doesn't.

Dr. SHARP

Oh.

Mona

My turn with a question. Do you have a Twitter account?

Dr. SHARP

Um.. yes...

Mona

Seriously? Cool. You should write down your username for me so I can follow you... if I get on the internet anytime soon.

Dr. Sharp looks confused, but pulls out a pad of sticky notes and writes something down on it. He hands it to Mona. She slowly smiles evilly. Dr. Sharp looks regretful.

TaaVI

My turn. Can we call you Stephen?

Dr. SHARP

If you really want to...

Mona

Really? Cool, so if we, like, see you on the streets...

Mona and Taavi burst into laughter, Stephen rolls his eyes.

Stephen

Let's not let this reverse of rolls get out of hand, shall we?

Mona

Yes, quite. Okay, why did you become a psychiatrist?

StePHEN

I don't know, it's just what sounded fun and interesting, so I did it.

Mona

But when you were 16? It's interesting that that's the career path you chose.

Taavi

Very interesting. Maybe it's because you have a superiority complex?

Stephen

I don't know, okay!

Mona

Touchy... Taavi, your turn.

Taavi

Do you ever leave this office? Like, do you make house calls?

Stephen

Sometimes, if one of my patients is being particularly difficult,

Stephen looks pointedly at Mona.

Stephen

(cont.)

I go to their home or school to talk with their teachers and/or parents about their environment.

Mona

Are you implying something here?

TaaVI

He's totally just messing with us.

StepHEN

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure.

Mona

Oh, please. That's ridiculous.

Stephen

You're so sure about everything, aren't you?

Mona

I dare you.

Stephen looks slightly taken aback, but leans forward in his desk and narrows his eyes.

Stephen

You sure you want to do that?

Mona

I triple-dog-dare you.

Taavi

Ooooh.

Stephen

You brought this upon yourself.

Mona

I feel like we should be spitting in our hands and shaking on this.

int. living ROOM - moRNING

Mona sits on the couch with her backpack on her lap. David rushes into the room and puts a shoulder bag that contains his laptop and his jacket on the coffee table. He rushes out of the room again.

Mona

You could have got ready last night. Then you wouldn't be rushing.

David sticks his head out of his office and glares at her.

David

I thought I was ready.

His head disappears again and Mona shakes her head. He comes back out of the office a few minutes later with a notebook and a bunch of papers and stuffs them into his shoulder bag. He puts the jacket on and grabs all his stuff.

DaVID

Come on, we're gonna be late.

Mona

It's only 7:20 and it will take five minutes to get there. Calm down.

Mona follows David out the door and into the car. They drive to the school and park in the Seminary building parking-lot, which is in between the Seminary and the actual school building. They get out of the car and walk into the Seminary building. They walk through the foyer and up to a door. David pulls out a key and unlocks it, then turns on the light as he walks in. The room is filled with desks.

David

Not sure what you're going to do for a half an hour, but...

He unlocks another door and puts all the stuff he has in his hands on the desk inside. Mona watches him arrange things for a minute then sits down at one of the desks. She begins to look around. Several minutes later, a tall, blond man with glasses walks into the room. He looks around and sees Mona sitting.

Richard White

Hi!

Mona

Hello.

Richard White

What's your name?

Mona

Mona.

Richard White

Oh, YOU'RE Mona?

Mona

Apparently.

RichARD WHITE

Oh, it's very nice to meet you!

Mona

I'm sure.

Brother White shakes Mona's hand enthusiastically. David sticks his head out of his office.

David

Ah, Brother White! First day of school, excited?

Richard WHITE

Yes! Always!

They both laugh. Mona raises an eyebrow.

RicharD WHITE

So, this one's yours...

David looks at Mona for a second.

David

Yeah. Never thought of it that way...

Richard WHITE

Aww, that's so awesome.

Mona

Did you just awe?

Richard WHITE

(with fake seriousness)

I've known David for over a year now, and I find his finally becoming a parent a very adorable and momentous thing.

Mona laughs. She tries to stop, but fails. Brother White grins at David. David rolls his eyes.

David

Um, Mona, why don't you go find your first class?

Mona

(still trying to stop laughing)

Yeah, I probably should. I hope they have maps.

RichaRD WHITE

Yeah, maps are very useful.

MOna

That and you get to laugh at all the people the first day, walking around with their maps. Hilarious.

Brother White starts to laugh. Mona smiles and leaves the room.

Int. English Class - day

Mona sits on the front row of desks. There is a man in a suit and bow-tie standing at the front of the room. The bell rings and a few people begin to trickle into the room. The man looks down at Mona.

Mr. Dubois

You seem like an enthusiastic pupil. What is your name?

Mona

Mona Carter.

Dubois

That's a nice name... Mona... Like Da Vinci?

Mona

Exactly.

dubois

That's pretty cool. So, do you like English?

MonA

Yes. It's my second favorite subject.

DuboiS

Don't tell me your first is math.

Mona

No. It's Orchestra. Why? Does the English department here have a strong rivalry with the math department?

Dubois

Not really, but I think it'd be pretty funny if we did. Rivalries are exciting.

Mona

Unless they get violent.

Dubois

I doubt it will come to that. The teachers who are tough enough to fight people are all Health teachers.

Mona

The English teachers are nerds, math teachers are dorks, and science teachers are geeks.

Dubois

See, you know how this works.

The bell rings. The classroom is filled with children.

Dubois

Alright, quiet down children.

One boy raises his hand. Mr. Dubois raises his eyebrows at the kid.

Boy

Are you wearing a bow-tie?

Dubois

No.

Boy

What? Yes you are.

Dubois

Then, why did you ask?

A girl from the back of the class raises her hand, but doesn't wait for Mr. Dubois' acknowledgment.

Girl

I think bow-ties are a crime against fashion.

Dubois

Well, you don't have to wear one.

Girl

Why do you wear one?

Dubois

Because The Doctor wears a bow-tie.

Mona

YES!

Mr. Dubois grins at Mona.

Dubois

Are you a Who fan?

Mona

Proudly so.

Boy

What are you talking about?

Dubois

You're right. This isn't the time or place to discuss the secrets of the universe.

He winks at Mona, who laughs again.

int. Orchestra/band room - day

Mona pushes open the door to a large, open room. There are people milling around aimlessly. The bell rings, they all sit in a huge circle on the floor. Mona stands off to one side. A woman enters the room and is greeted by many voices. She smiles and puts a hand up for silence.

Miss Martin

Thank you, guys. Everybody take a disclosure and read through it, because I don't want to.

She hands a stack of papers to someone. She then looks over at where Mona is standing.

Miss MARTIN

Hello.

Mona

Hello.

Everyone looks at Mona.

Ben

Hey, there's a new girl.

Henry

New girl!!!

Gingevere

Awesome!!

Harry

Miss Martin, can we keep her?

Miss Martin laughs.

Miss MARTIN

What's your name?

Mona

Mona Carter.

Miss MARTIN

Cool. What do you play?

Mona

Violin.

Miss martin

Nice.

Ben

YAY!

Taavi Anderson

Come on, you guys, it's not like she's a new species of animal.

Maureen

You'd think she was.

Mona

Hey, Taavi.

TaAVI

Hey, Mona. How's it going?

Mona

Pretty solid.

Taavi

Cool.

Mona

Cool, cool, cool.

TaaVI

Have you seen Stephen lurking around anywhere?

mona

Nope. Either he chickened out, or he's a very talented stalker.

MisS MARTIN

Anyway people, Let's not be too loud.

Mona

So, Taavi, is it okay if I come over to borrow your computer today after school?

Taavi

Do you think David will give me a ride?

Mona

I think he will. He's not mean.

Taavi

Cool.

mona

Cool, cool, cool.

int. Seminary Building - day

Mona walks into the foyer of the Seminary building. There are people standing in large groups around the doorways of the classrooms. The Seminary teachers stick out on account of their being taller than the students and wearing suits. David and Brother White look over at Mona as she enters the building.

RicharD WHITE

Hey! Seminary!

MONA

Are you sure?

Richard WHITE

Yes.

Mona

Oh, good... So, what are all these people standing around for?

David

There is a list of names on each of the doors, the names of what students are in which class.

Mona

Oh, so I have to go around to each door and find out what class I have?

David

No.

Mona

Why not?

david

Because I already looked...

Mona

Just couldn't help yourself, could you?

David

It was Brother White's idea.

Richard WHITE

Hey, don't blame me!

mona

So? Who's class? Come on, the suspence is killing me.

David

You're in my class.

Mona squints one eye at David, he looks embarrassed.

Mona

Cool, so I can go sit down now? I've been walking around all day.

David

Yeah...

Mona walks to David's door and has to shove through a bunch of people to get in. She sits in the desk in the very center of the front row. She takes a book out of her backpack and begins to read. Taavi Anderson walks into the room and sits down next to Mona.

Taavi

This should be fun.

Mona

I thought you were against Seminary?

Taavi

Not really, I just didn't really feel like it, but now I do.

Mona

Okay, then. Whatever makes you happy.

taavi

Oh yeah.

The room fills with students. The bell rings. David closes the door and goes to the front of the room. He leans on a podium with wheels that has been placed in front of the desks.

taavi

Hey, Brother Sandson.

DavID

Hi, Taavi. I thought you didn't likw Seminary?

TaAVI

I changed my mind.

David

Good.

taavi

Could you possibly give me a ride home after school?

David

Um... sure.

TaaVI

Thanks.

david

Yup. Okay, children, quiet down.

Mona

Mr. Dubois says that.

Maureen slams the book she's reading. Everyone looks at her.

MaUREEN

Oh, I know. Bow ties are cool.

Mona

Amen.

David

What?... Never mind. It's time to start class.

int. dr. SHARP'S OFFICE - DAY

StePHEN

So, how was your first week of school?

Mona

Meh.

StepheN

I'm sure you have opinions on everything.

Mona

Yeah, I'm just too lazy to voice them at the moment.

StePHEN

Yeah, I hear you... I've been stuck in this office all day.

Mona

You want to go get some tacos?

StepHEN

What?

Mona

Tacos.

StePHEN

That would be totally unprofessional.

Mona

Oh, please.

StePHEN

And awkward.

Mona

Get over yourself and live a little.

Stephen looks a little bit unhappy.

StephEN

Why are you so set on getting out of this office?

Mona

I'm not set on getting out of here, but it's jut super stuffy ad it would be nice to not have to be here all the time.

StePHEN

Not really, I thought it was quite airy.

Mona

This office is designed to shut out the world, right?

StePHEN

I suppose it is, yes.

Mona

It's claustrophobic.

StepHEN

You're claustrophobic?

Mona

Extremely.

Stephen

Hm, interesting... Maybe a foray out into the world would be informative...

Mona

I don't know about informative, but it would definitely be better than being stuck in here.

Stephen

Tacos?

Mona

I don't like tacos.

StEPHEN

But you...

Mona

That was just the first thing that came to my mind... We should go to the library.

Stephen

Um... Okay.

Stephen stands up from his chair, taking the jacket that had been thrown over the back of it, and putting it on. Mona stands also.

Ext. Sidewalk - DAY

Mona and Stephen walk down the sidewalk side by side. Mona is whistling cheerfully, Stephen looks unnatural with his hands deep in his jacket pockets. A man walks in the opposite direction. He runs into Mona who falls sideways and backwards toward Stephen. Stephen whips his hands out of his pockets and catches Mona before she hits the ground. The man continues walking. Stephen lifts Mona back into a standing position.

Mona

That was awkward.

StephEN

Not really.

Mona

It is now.

Stephen blushes.

Mona

See?

StephEN

It's not awkward, but because you made it awkward, I couldn't help...

Stephen abruptly closes his mouth and looks embarrassed.

Mona

Welcome to my world.

Stephen

Teenagers can blame hormones.

Mona

We can blame any number of things. It doesn't really do any good.

Stephen

True.

Mona

Shall we continue?

They continue to walk.
