*Gets a flashback of Calista telling him he can sleep in this morning.
Line 2) Marvin's inner thoughts: I should try heading back to sleep. I'm not in any sort of rush to be up right now.
He ponders trying to go back to sleep, but ends up staring at the ceiling wide awake.
Line 3) Marvin's inner thoughts: Ugh, I can't. Once I'm up. I'm up.
Marvin gets himself up and rubs his face a bit.
Line 4) Marvin's inner thoughts: Calista is most likely asleep. I don't want to bug her.
Line 5) Marvin's inner thoughts: What am I going to do?
Line 6) Marvin's inner thoughts: I guess I could get ready for the day.
Marvin looks over at the bathroom door to see if anyone is inside, indicated through the lights.
Line 7) Marvin's inner thoughts: Alright, the bathroom looks unoccupied. I should head in.
Marvin tidies up in the bathroom, while he does he notices a straightener in the bathroom unplugged on the counter.
He picks it up and examines it in an intriguing manner.
Line 8) Marvin's inner thoughts: Huh? What could this be?
Line 9) Marvin's inner thoughts: I was the last person in there yesterday. Could this be Talulla's? She probably used it before she went to work.
Line 10) Marvin's inner thoughts: I'm sure it's nothing. But I'm so confused as to what this contraption is.
He sets it down and continues to get ready.
*Shot pans to Calista getting awakened by her alarm for 8:00 AM.
She turns off her alarm and stretches and gets up.
Line 11) Calista's inner thoughts: I have a feeling that Marvin would get up early. So, I did too because I wouldn't want to keep him waiting.
