Neighbor 1: Hello, hello!?

Morgan: Do we know somebody?

Giselle: No. But we can.

She chuckles

Neighbor 2: What are you? Color-blind? That's not green. That's aqua.

Neighbor 3: What are they? Fish?

Neighbor 2 clears her throat

Neighbor 1: Oh.

Neighbor 3: Oh.

Neighbor 2: Hope you don't mind. Door was open.

Neighbor 1: Giselle and Robert, right? And Morgan.

Giselle: Oh. Yeah.

Neighbor 2: Oh, and little Sofia.

The 3 neighbors began to murmur amongst themselves

Giselle: Why, yes. How did you know?

Morgan: Hi.

Monroe: Malvina Monroe.

Giselle: Oh.

Monroe: I would've sold you this house, but I deal in slightly more upscale homes, so

Neighbor 1: Mm-hmm.

Monroe: Rosaleen and Ruby!

Ruby: Oh!

She chuckles

Robert: Oh, they smell so good.

Giselle: Oh!

She chuckles

Robert chuckles

Robert: Oh! Wow.

Monroe: Giselle.

Giselle: It's really something.

Rosaleen: She made it all herself.

Ruby: Even the baskets.

They chuckle

Robert: Really?

Giselle gasps

Monroe: I weave.

Giselle: Well, that's very nice of you.

Morgan: And a little weird.

Robert: Morgan, why don't we take these into the kitchen?

He grunts

Roberts: Thank you.

Giselle: Thank you.

Ruby: Nice to meet you.

Rosaleen: We'll just get right-

Morgan: Bye now.

Monroe: I have one that age too. So pouty.

Giselle: Oh.

She chuckles

Monroe: But he's still the apple of my eye.

Rosaleen: Of everyone's eye.

Ruby chuckles

Ruby: More like the apple of everybody's whole face.

She chuckles again

Giselle: Oh--

She laughs, but not quite getting the joke

Monroe: Now, if you all need anything, I'm your gal, all right?

Giselle: Oh. Mm-hmm.

Monroe: I know this town better than anyone else.

Ruby: So modest. She made this town what it is.

Rosaleen: Oh, yeah. She's like a queen around here.

Monroe chuckles

Giselle: Oh. Well, then I'm doubly honored. I think that every town should have a queen.

Monroe: Yeah.

Later that night

Robert: Good night.

Giselle sighs

Giselle: Well, that wasn't exactly
the first day we'd hoped for, but-

Sofia babbles

Giselle: -maybe we should've waited another month.

Robert: No, we pushed it three times.
Don't worry. We'll settle in.

Giselle: Listen to that.

crickets chirping

Giselle gasps

Giselle: That is so much better than 5th Avenue.

Morgan: Mmm, no, that's just weirdly louder.

Giselle: Those crickets composed that song
just for us to say, "Hello."

Robert chuckles
Giselle: As a thank-you, we should build 'em a resort.

Robert: I don't think they have one of those.

Giselle laughs

Morgan: Can we just talk about the fact that
we moved out here to get more space, and now we're just sleeping in the same room?

Giselle: I know.

Robert: Morgan, we talked about this. It's just until the smoke clears your room.

Morgan clears her throat

Morgan: Yeah.
Robert grunts while turning to the other side of the bed and chuckles

Giselle sighs

Giselle: Here we are a family starting over
Morgan groans

Morgan: Mom.

Giselle sighs

Giselle: Okay.
