Peter: What's with your face? I know you realized that my name is way cooler than yours.

[Lanys changes her shocked face to one of seriousness]

Lanys: No.

Peter: You know it's true.

Lanys: No.

Peter: Yes, it is.

Lanys: No.

Peter: Oh, you're the No girl.

[Lanys stays quiet and looks directly at Peter]

Peter: Aja...I'm waiting.

Lanys: You're just a jerk.

Peter: (surprised) A what?

Lanys: A Jerk.

Peter: (confused) what is that?

Lanys: You don't know what a jerk is?

Peter: No.

Lanys: Then get a dictionary.

[When Lanys says "dictionary", a small smile appears on her face, like she remembered something]

Peter: What's with the smile? You're weird.

Lanys: That's something an awesome teacher always said to me, when I didn't know a word.

Peter: That's stupid, that teacher sucks, isn't a teacher supposed to help their students.

Lanys: Oh, he did.

Peter: Doesn't sound like it.

Lanys: You're so naïve.

Peter: Nave? Nive? What?

Lanys: Naïve, I said naïve.

Peter: What the? Where you from? You're just weird. Thank God is my last day in this stupid school.

Lanys: (surprised) You're last day?

Peter: Yeah. I'm going to New Jersey.

Lanys: Wait, why?

Peter: Why should you care? We just met.

Lanys: I know, but I thought we would be friends.

Peter: Friends? You just called me a jerk, I don't know what that means, and you thought we would be friends. You are...Weird. Let me repeat that... (raising his tone of voice) ... you are...Weird.

[Lanys looks directly at Peter]

Lanys: Why are you going to New Jersey?

Peter: We're not friends. I'm not going to tell you.
