>>VIVIAN: Shouldn't you be on the train?
>>ASTER: That depends.
>>VIVIAN: On what?
>>ASTER: On which train you're talking about.
>>VIVIAN: The subway. The one that takes you to school. Remember school?
>>ASTER: Well, I'm bored with that particular ride. There's this other train I discovered, it takes you further north.
>>VIVIAN: Where are you?
>>ASTER: I can be a commuter. I could hop on a train right now, and be with you in... 29 minutes.
>>VIVIAN: Don't tempt me.
>>ASTER: Why not?
>>VIVIAN: Aster, go to school.
>>ASTER: Boy, you're bossy.
>>VIVIAN: And you love it.
>>ASTER: Yes, I do.
>>VIVIAN: And need it.
>>ASTER: You know how close I was to being on the 704?
>>VIVIAN: I like thinking about it.
>>ASTER: Yeah... I'll talk to you later.
>>VIVIAN: Is there another bulding besides this one?
>>AUNT JODIE: Don't worry, honey. Just because there isn't a P.S. in front of it doesn't mean it's not a real school.
>>VIVIAN: God, could these kids be any shinier?
>>AUNT JODIE: They do look a little too happy, don't they? Go! Have a good first day. I know you will.
Pick you up at three?
>>VIVIAN: Yeah. Right. Cause this wasn't humiliating enough.
>>PRINCIPAL: Shouldn't you be in class?
>>ARCHIBALD: I'm... I'm just finishing lunch.
>>PRINCIPAL: In my office?
>>ARCHIBALD: Yeah, I just got a better vibe, you know... There's all those people in the cafeteria, eating.
It's just kinda hard to concentrate.
>>VIVIAN: Can someone show me how to get to my American Lit class? Cause I'm pretty sure I wasn't signed up for boys' gym.
>>PRINCIPAL: You want an exempt from the cafeteria? You can escort this young lady to her class. And then get to your own.
>>ARCHIBALD: Okay.
>>VIVIAN: So, you're the "new-girl chaperone"? Or, is that..?
>>ARCHIBALD: It can get scary in these halls.
>>VIVIAN: Um... I've seen worse.
>>ARCHIBALD: Yeah, where you from?
>>VIVIAN: New York.
>>ARCHIBALD: Look out! City girl at Clarence. Maybe you should be walking me to class.
>>GUY: Yo, man, what's good?
>>ARCHIBALD: Oh, what's up, man?
>>GUY: What's up? I'm about to go shoot some ball with the boys. We need another man and you got the height.
>>ARCHIBALD: No, we gotta get to class, man.
>>GUY: Alright, cool. I'mma get you in that court though, alright?
No more that sitting in the stands drawing super dudes, alright man?
>>VIVIAN: So you're a D.C. fan? I saw your sketch book back there. Your Green Lantern is... good.
>>ARCHIBALD: Yeah, right, right... You read?
>>VIVIAN: Occasionally...
>>ARCHIBALD: No, I mean... comics. Like you, you read comics?
>>VIVIAN: Yeah, Aster, my friend back home...
Um, she was pretty manic for Love and Rockets so I just sort of picked it up I guess.
>>ARCHIBALD: Love and Rockets, huh? That's... that's pretty cool.
>>VIVIAN: You know, your stuff look pretty good. I'd love to see a couple of pages if you got some of your own stuff.
>>ARCHIBALD: Well, there's just pictures. No words.
>>VIVIAN: No, I can see words. I mean, like, your drawings could have words, if you wanted.
>>ARCHIBALD: Oh yeah? And who's gonna write them?
>>VIVIAN: I'm just saying it's just sort of the way I see things, I guess... Um, in sentences.
>>ARCHIBALD: Well, look, here we are. Last stop - Moby Dick.
>>VIVIAN: Ooh... God, I hope not. Man, I read a lot of books twice but that's not gonna be one of them.
>>ELIZABETH: Hey, Archibald. You in this class now?
>>ARCHIBALD: No, uh... Vivian here, she... I was walking her to class.
>>ELIZABETH: That was nice of you.
>>ARCHIBALD: Not really.
>>VIVIAN: He kinda had to.
>>ARCHIBALD: She's new.
>>VIVIAN: I didn't mean he had to, it was just... I did interrupt his lunch, I'm sure he would've done it anyway, but it's...
You know, he could've just pointed me on my way, but he's...
>>ELIZABETH: He's a gentleman. Who knew? I like that.
>>VIVIAN: So, that was a good thing?
>>ARCHIBALD: Yeah, I think. A good thing.
Alright, we out. I'll check on you later. My duties don't stop just here at the door.
>>JONATHAN: So I'll see you after school?
>>SOPHIE: I have practice.
>>JONATHAN: After practice?
>>SOPHIE: Then I have homework.
>>JONATHAN: Homework?
>>SOPHIE: We're not all getting a full ride to college, Mr. quarterback.
