Liam and Niall flank Harry at his lab table.
NIALL: So you got cozy with he who stings?
HARRY: No - I've got a sweet-payin' job that I'm about to lose.
LIAM: What'd you do to him?
HARRY: I don ' t know. (beat) I decided not to nail him when he was too drunk to remember it.
Niall and Liam look at each other in realization, then turn back to Harry.
LIAM: You realize this puts the whole operation in peril.
HARRY: No shit. he won't even look at me.
LIAM: Why can't you just tell him you're sorry?
Harry's expression says that this is not a possibility. Niall makes a time out sign with his hands.
NIALL: I'm on it
HALLWAY
Louise is at her locker. Drawings of William Shakespeare adorn the door. She looks at them with a sigh, then ties her silk scarf tightly around her neck, in an attempt to cut off her air supply.
Niall walks up.
NIALL: Hey there. Tired of breathing?
LOUISE: (shyly, as she loosens the scarf) Hi.
NIALL: Cool pictures. You a fan?
LOUISE: Yeah. I guess.
NIALL rocks. Very hip.
LOUISE: You think?
NIALL: Oh yeah.
She looks at him suspiciously.
LOUISE: Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart, courage to make ' B love known?
Niall thinks for a minute.
NIALL: Macbeth, right?
LOUISE: (happily stunned) Right.
NIALL: Louis a fan, too?
LOUISE: (puzzled) Yeah...
He leans in close to her, conspiratorially
NIALL: So, listen... I have this friend

Liam sits next to Harry on the bleachers as they watch Louis' practice.
LIAM: he hates you with the fire of a thousand suns . That's a direct quote.
HARRY: he just needs time to cool off I'll give it a day.
A PUCK flies at them from the field, narrowly missing their heads.
HARRY: (continuing) Maybe two.
He looks at Liam.
HARRY: (continuing) You makin' any headway?
LIAM: he kissed me.
HARRY: (eyebrow raised) Where?
