Question 14

Dylan: That’s not fair! What about me?

Answer 14

Lennox: You can’t hide from your Mum forever.

Answer 15

Lennox: I’m fed up of sneaking around. I don’t like lying, don’t look at me like that Cooper, it’s just…

Question 16

Dylan: Well?

Answer 16

Lennox: Y’know, everyone thinks I’m so much trouble. But look what we’ve done. This place is magical. Wouldn’t it be nice to show them? What we can do? And doesn’t it make you feel… different… being here? Maybe they could do with that too.

Question 17

Dylan: We’re arguing again!

Answer 17

Lennox: I think it will change things. It’s magic, isn’t it? There’s something that just, I don’t know, makes you breathe and see things/

Question 18

Dylan: /like elves/

Question 19

Cooper: /and get along.

Answer 19

Lennox: Wouldn’t you like that, Dyl? You could show your Mum what you’ve done. You’re the one who knew what to plant where, how to make it so nice.

Answer 20

Lennox: I think they need this.

Question 21

Answer 22

Lennox: Alright bossy boots!

Question 23

Answer 23

Lennox: Fine. But I’m not spitting on it.
