LAURA: Wow, that’s cool.
MARISHA: This was a good way to go for your
first.
LAURA: A frickin’ cat!
MARISHA: This is kind of therapeutic. Making me
feel better, just about life in general.
TRAVIS: (sneezes)
MARISHA: All right.
SAM: He reads lots of books, Caleb does. He’s very
smart. In fact, should we go looking for more
right now?
LIAM: Maybe in a little while.
LAURA: Can I see one of your books?
LIAM: Well– and I pull apart the lapels of my
coat. I have books in what modern-day people like
to think of as holster-straps, but there’s a book
hanging here.
SAM: I think ancient people would call it a
holster as well.
LIAM: Bap-bap-bap. The books are right here. I
have these, but these are heirlooms, family
heirlooms, so I don’t share those, but– no, I
like to read. That’s all. And I’m a bit of a
self-starter, so I have to find– I mean, good
luck at the Academy. That’s rough, I hear.
TRAVIS: Do you know anything about it? We’re just
going up. Beginner’s luck.
LAURA: We know it’s rich people that go there. We
have to find a way to get you in.
LIAM: All I know is how hard it is to get into.
SAM: You don’t have a lot of money, then?
LAURA: Well.
TRAVIS: No.
LAURA: We had more.
MARISHA: But then we lost it, but then we got it
back.
TRAVIS: Somebody has a gambling problem.
SAM: Oh. Which one?
LAURA: What’s the name of it again?
MATT: It is the Crick-Queen’s Call.
LAURA: Have you played it?
SAM: No, I haven’t.
LAURA: I’ll teach you someday. It’s so much fun.
SAM: It’s a game?
LAURA: Yes.
SAM: Cards? All right. I might like to know that.
LAURA: I mean, I can teach you, if you want.
SAM: Yes, I would like to know that.
LAURA: Okay, I’ll deal!
SAM: Oh, right now?
LAURA: Yes, sure, this will be fun.
SAM: Is this okay?
LIAM: Listen, I would not be sitting here if it
were not for you. Do whatever you like.
LAURA: Okay. You draw three cards. Well, I give
you three cards. So you use 3d6.
