MERIT

I’m fine, Crew. Really.

CREW

Please never join debate club. You’re a terrible persuader.

MERIT

Har, har. Very funny.

CREW

My car has a pretty comfy back seat for you to lie down on. It also has royalty free music, a cup holder, air-conditioning—I’m really selling the vision here.

MERIT

I have to study.

CREW

You also have to take care of yourself. I’ll help you study. All you have to do is sit thereand look pretty.

MERIT

I look like shit today.

CREW

That’s not possible, and I’m not taking no for an answer. I’m your bodyguard, remember?

MERIT

You’re going to defend me from period cramps?

CREW

Precisely. I’ll be there in five minutes.

MERIT

You really shouldn’t waste your time on me.

CREW

Spending time with you is nevera waste.

I heard my dad was pretty tough on you guys today.

CREW

Yeah, it’s nothing new. He just wants us to play to our full potential.
