Uh, Cooper?
Hi, welcome to Bayview.
I'm Keely, your designated tour guide.
Nice to meet you.
Um, but I thought someone named Walt
was supposed to show me around.
Oh, nobody told you?
Walt's home sick.
Pneumonia, I think.
But the officer said that he was on his way.
Yeah, um...
Walt's in Bio, and I'm a terrible liar.
I asked if I could trade tours with him
because I'm sort of a fan, but...
So you're into baseball?
Well, I have a lot of interests.

Simon's post?
You would never understand, Maeve, about this...
Yeah, you're doing it again. Not telling me shit.
Because you're my little sister,
and it's my job to protect you.
No, you just don't want anyone to know
that you could possibly do something wrong
because then they know that you aren't perfect.
I mean, aren't you tired of pretending
to be perfect all the time?
Because I'm exhausted just by looking at you.

Thank you. Seriously.
I will pay you back tomorrow.

Oh, uh, a little business is better than none.
Come on.
I know what it's like to have people relying on you.
This was a one-time thing, though.
