[sniffing] Byrd: Ugh, Wren.. have you been smoking again? Wren: None o’ your beeswax, numpty. Byrd: I’m a numpty? You’re the one that’s gonna get caught. Wren: Nah, dad’s bullshitting us about giving up. He’s totally nose blind. Byrd: What about mom? Wren: I’ll just blame it on dad. Pixie: Can you imagine what my dad would do if I was caught smoking? I’d never hear the end of it. Byrd: I don’t think we’d see you for a month. Wren: Jesus fuckin’ christ, what’ve I raised?! Pixie: I ain’t havin’ this shit! [laughter]

Frankie: I'm looking after my friend's dog-.. y'know, if you wanna come with? Frankie: Do you know your way around a fridge-.. as in fixing them? Frankie: Do you like classic cars? … Frankie: Would you-.. Pixie: [BIG GASP] Oh my god, LOOK! Wren: I swear to god, if you show me another bug… Pixie: No, look! My dad's kissing Frankie!!! Wren: So? Pixie: Sawyer, look! Sawyer: Ew. Pixie: Noooo, don't say ew! I knew they liked each other! Didn't I tell you?! Maybe they'll get married. Byrd: People don't get married after one kiss, do they? Sawyer: I dunno-.. but my mom told your mom she never wanted to get married EVER again. … Ivan: D'you fancy goin’ on a proper date? Frankie: Hah, shouldn't you have asked that before you kissed me? Ivan: Aye, maybe-.. s'too late now though.

Frankie: I’m pregnant, not infirm. Ivan: [laughs] Shut up n’ gimmie! Sawyer: Ugh, they’re so annoying. Pixie: Would you rather be moving back in with YOUR dad? Sawyer: I think I’d like to live alone… Pixie: Oh, boo.

Ivan: Y’pretty much good t’go, but… Frankie: It’s on its last legs? Ivan: ‘Fraid so. Frankie: I thought as much. Ivan: Y’could probably fix it up but it’d cost a fortune n’ there ain’t much point with all that rust. Frankie: No, I know.. it’s fine. [Ivan fell silent as Frankie stared at her old rust bucket dejectedly. She looked like she could use a cuddle but not everyone was a hugger and she seemed awfully skittish, so it probably wasn’t a good idea-.. besides, he was covered in oil] Ivan: Y’alright? Frankie: I guess I just didn’t think life would turn out this way, y’know? Ivan: Aye… Frankie: Sorry-.. thank you so so much, I’ll pay you back as soon as I can. Ivan: Nah, I do this shi-.. stuff for fun. Frankie: Really? Ivan: Yeah, s’fine. Frankie: Free coffee then? Ivan: That’ll do. … [seagulls calling] Pixie: Do you like Frankie? Ivan: Sure, why wouldn’t I? Pixie: No, I mean like like. [Ivan scoffed, shaking his head dismissively] Pixie: You never stop yourself from swearing like that though. Ivan: Well, she’s a polite lady-.. n’ y’shouldn’t have been listenin’ in, anyway! Jude: Did you know she’s divorced? Ivan: How d’you know that? Jude: Levi told me and Robin. Apparently, her ex is a complete twat and he’s constantly trying-… Ivan: Alright, let’s not gossip about the poor woman-.. christ. Jude: Just saying. Ivan: Yeah, yeah.. how ‘bout y’shut it instead.

Sawyer: Can I say hi to Pixie? Frankie: We don’t really have time, sweetie. Sawyer: Pleeeeease? I’ve been bored all morning, I wanna play! Frankie: Five minutes. Sawyer: Ten? Frankie: No more! … Frankie: Hi. Ivan: Y’alright? Frankie: I hope I’m not interrupting-.. I won’t be here long. Ivan: Reading is just my excuse not t’get wet. Frankie: That’s usually my go to as well. [Frankie laughed at her own joke for a split second before deciding it wasn’t actually even funny-.. nor a joke] Ivan: Summer holidays are as much a pain as they are fun, eh? Frankie: Yeah.. luckily, neither job minds me bringing him along. Ivan: Y’got two jobs? Frankie: Yeah. Ivan: That sounds rough-.. where else d’ya work? Frankie: Nowhere exciting. What do you do? Ivan: I’m a mechanical engineer-.. sounds fancier than it is though. Frankie: Ah! Good time keeping skills, mister. Sawyer: Did you just say you were a mechanic?! Ivan: Aye, kinda. Frankie: Sawyer-… Sawyer: Can you fix our truck? Frankie: Don’t be so rude. Ivan: [laughs] Don’t sweat it. Sawyer: Pleeeeease? You won’t let dad fix it and I’m tired of walking all the time-.. my feet hurt. Ivan: I could, if y’wanted? Frankie: No, it’s fine. Sawyer: MOOOM! [Frankie hesitated, glancing between Ivan and Sawyer] Ivan: I honestly don’t mind-.. s’your call though. Frankie: Uh, yeah.. okay.

Jude: Why can’t I just live here?! Ivan: How many times do we gotta go over this? Jude: They’d barely notice! Ivan: I’m sure that ain’t true. Jude: Is too-.. the stupid baby isn’t even here yet n’ it’s like I don’t exist! Ivan: They’re just excited, is all. Pixie: Is it gonna be my brother or sister too? Ivan: It don’t work like that, spud. Pixie: How does it not? If it’s Jude’s brother or sister n’ I’m his sister then that means they’ll be mine too, right? Jude: No, ‘cause we’re only related by dad. Ivan: What’re you doin’ tomorrow? Jude: I dunno, Robin said he was busy, so… Ivan: No Jacob? Jude: He’s uh-.. out of town. Pixie: When can I-… Ivan: Don’t start, Pix. Jude: Can we be excused now? Ivan: You don’t gotta ask. … Pixie: I wish you lived here all the time too. Jude: Yeah… Pixie: Maybe if you annoy them enough, they’ll want to get rid of you. Jude: Fat chance-.. I’d just wind up grounded. Pixie: You could run away? Jude: I don’t think that’d work either. Pixie: There must be something we can do. Jude: Some problems don’t have a solution. Pixie: That sounds like a lame, adult thing to say. Jude: It kinda does, doesn’t it? Let’s find a mad scientist to make a clone of me instead. Pixie: One without spots and a smelly bed! Jude: [snickers] It’s gotta be believable, dummy.

Levi: What do you want? [Robin shrugged, peering around Levi’s head] Robin: Nothing in particular-.. who’s that, your sister? Levi: Yeah. Robin: Wanna ditch her n’ hang out? Levi: With you? Robin: Uh-huh-.. Jacob and Jude too, his dad’s looking at a house for sale over there. [Levi glanced over his shoulder, grimacing at the prospect of being stuck with Tiffany and her annoying friends] Levi: Fine, whatever. Levi: You know you forgot your shoes, right? Robin: Shoes are overrated-.. I like to feel stuff on my feet. Levi: [scoffs] Weirdo. … Levi: It’s tiny. Jacob: Houses are expensive though, right? Robin: Uh-huh, everything is. Levi: How much do you think this one’s worth? Jacob: Uh-.. ten thousand? Robin: [laughs] Try that times twenty. Jude: Woah. Jacob: How big is your house if this one’s so small then? Bigger than Robin’s? Levi: How should I know?! Robin: It’s kinda big. Levi: If you say so-.. our last house was massive, but we had to move. Jude: Why? Levi: None of your business! Jude: Alright, geez. [Jacob rolled his eyes, wondering why Robin had even gone to the trouble of bringing Levi over] … Jude: Did you get it?! Ivan: It ain’t that quick, bud! We’ll see. Oscar: How you doing, Levi? Levi: Uh, yeah.. I’m great! Robin: Can he come over? Levi: Wai-… Oscar: Sure. Robin: You wouldn’t rather be stuck with your sister all day, would you? [Levi squinted at Robin and his irksome brazenness, but he merely gazed back at him calmly-.. he knew he wasn’t wrong] Jacob: He better not make a habit of inviting Levi to hang out with us all summer. Jude: Maybe he just feels bad for him. He did almost die. Jacob: Only almost.
