–[Storybrooke]–

(August, the Stranger, is tinkering with his motorcycle outside of the Mayor's house. Henry and Izzy walk up to him.)

Henry: What are you doing here?

August: Fixing my bike.

Izzy: No, he means in Storybrooke.

August: Just visiting.

Henry: What's that?

August: A box.

Izzy: What's inside it?

August: Just something I need to do what I came here for.

(Regina opens her front door and sees the three talking.)

Henry: Well, we thought you were just visiting?

August: Doesn't mean I don't have something to do.

(He starts his motorcycle. Regina yells for the twins and walks towards them.)

Regina: Henry! Izzy!

August: Better get to school. Looks like a storm's coming.

(August drives off just as Regina reaches the twins.)

Regina: Henry, Izzy. Who was that?

(Henry and Izzy shrug.)

(At Mary Margaret's, Emma and Logan are eating breakfast as Mary Margaret scrambles to get ready. A television airing the weather is on in the background.)

MMB: I can't believe I overslept.

Emma: It's only seven-ten. You've got plenty of time to get to school.

MMB: No, I have to be there at seven-fifteen – science fair. I'm helping the kids with their projects before school.

Logan: I'm sure if you're five minutes late they'll live.

MMB: We're making a volcano.

(Mary Margaret leaves.)

Emma: Okay.

(Mary Margaret arrives at Granny's Diner. She sits at one of the tables, takes out a book, and fixes her hair in a spoon's reflection. At seven-fifteen, David enters the diner and walks up to the counter. Ruby serves him two coffees.)

Ruby: One cream and sugar, one black.

David: Thank you.

(David takes the coffees and notices Mary Margaret sitting behind him.)

David: Good morning.

MMB: Morning!

David: I-I... I should go. I'm going to be late for work.

MMB: Oh, the animal shelter, right? How's that going?

David: Well, the apes haven't taken over.

MMB: Yet.

David: Not on my watch.

(David leaves. She sees him meet Kathryn at their car, where he gives her the coffee and a kiss on the cheek. Emma and Logan come out of the back room.)

Emma: This is making a volcano?

MMB: I was-

Logan: We get it.

MMB: He comes here every morning at seven-fifteen a.m. to get coffee.

Emma: For him and his wife.

MMB: I know, I know, I know. I just like to...come here to see him.
