Taylor: Walking away disappointed. He yelled at Ashley today.
Justin: Speaking loudly walking to Ashley. Ashley is that true?
Ashley: Talking softly Yes, but he didn't mean to.
Taylor: Yelling, moving towards her. How do you know?
Ashley: He has a disability, he doesn't usually mean what he says or does what he says he will do (short pause) right?
Taylor: Using a softer voice, sitting on the couch next to her. Not necessarily, sometimes he does mean the things he says.
Ashley: I hope he didn't mean what he said to me.
Justin: Why, what did he say.
Ashley: He told me, (pause) just nevermind it's not important.
Taylor: Speaking softly, moves closer to her. Ashley, what did he say

Taylor: looking for her keys, moving quickly, talking fast. I can't believe it, he just asked if a friend could come over. A girl nonetheless.
