Eli: So, you and Sam back in the dojo. Game on, right?

Miguel: Yeah, game on for karate.

Eli: Come on. I see you staring at her.

Demetri: I thought you decided to keep things platonic?

Y/N: Yeah, well, she did.

Eli: He didn't.

Demetri: Well, uh, you know what they say, "Put a box of matches near some fireworks, soon enough..."

Demetri makes an explosion noise.

Demetri: "Sparks will fly."

Miguel: Is that what they say?

Demetri: Something tells me it's about to be the Fourth of July.

You look over and see Robby Keene.

Y/N: I can't believe that piece of shit's on our team.

Robby: What are we protecting them from?
