Answer 2

OLIVER: I guess.

Question 3

LIAM: Listen, what’s your name?

Answer 3

OLIVER: Oliver.

Question 4

LIAM: Nice. I’m Liam. My roommate’s throwing a welcome party tonight. We’re down the hall if you wanna leave your door open.

Answer 4

OLIVER: Maybe.

Question 5

LIAM: Yo, dude, are you ready? We’ve gotta leave, like, now.

Answer 5

OLIVER: There’s no way it’s time already…(checking his watch) shoot!

Question 5

HEATHER:(Still watching) I know what you must think of me. I mean it’s… invasive… to say the least. I thought so too, the first few weeks, months, years since I died. I tried not to. I admit it. It’s wrong. But there’s nothing better to do around here, and I’m not much for moping when something much more interesting is happening. And, come on, he can’t see me. No harm done, right? No risk.

Answer 5

OLIVER: Why’d I ever say yes to this stupid double date?

Question 6

OLIVER: So this is my dorm.

Question 7

MIA: Wow, not shabby. It’s a single?

Answer 7

OLIVER: Yeah.

Question 8

MIA: I have to be honest, I was a little worried about tonight. But… I had fun. Would you want to do this again sometime?

Answer 8

OLIVER: Sure!

Question 9

MIA: Um, bye.

Answer 9

OLIVER: Bye!

(HEATHER storms off and flops on the bed. OLIVER reacts)

Answer 10

OLIVER: What was that?

Question 11

HEATHER: …maybe I could…
(HEATHER tries to pick up a pencil off of the desk, but can’t. OLIVER walks into the room in a flurry, carrying a stack of books)

Answer 11

OLIVER: Ugh I can’t believe I forgot it, I can’t believe I forgot it!

Question 12

LIAM: End of the semester.

Answer 12

OLIVER: Yep. Crazy.

Question 13

LIAM: You know, I don’t think I ever asked. Why pre-med?

Answer 13

OLIVER: You’re joking.

Question 14

LIAM: I mean, pre-med? Seriously? It’s obvious that you-

Answer 14

OLIVER: Okay, whatever, it’s not my favorite subject.

Question 15

LIAM: Not your favorite? Oh come on, you’ve never shown any interest in-

Answer 15

OLIVER: I know, okay, but I don’t have a choice. If I don’t become a doctor, if I don’t do what my family needs me to do, then…

Question 16

LIAM: Then what? You’ll learn a little independence? You’ll learn to take a risk?

Answer 16

OLIVER: What?

Question 17

LIAM: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean-

LIAM: Oh yeah? Like what?

Answer 18

Answer 19

OLIVER: It’s going very well.

Question 20

LIAM: Really?

Question 27
