Allie: Hmm, I'll have a rose. I wonder what that tastes like.

Amanda: It's actually not my favorite, but they're all so good, you can't go wrong.

Marin: [[w:Passion fruit (fruit)|passion fruit] Harper, you seem like a ] kind of girl.

Harper: Why?

Marin: Because you're spontaneous.

Harper: That's okay.

Marin: Well, they're here in case you change your mind.

Harper: Thank you. I won't.

Amanda: Would you care for some tea?

Harper: Actually, we're dying for coffee.

Amanda: Oh. I'm sorry, this is a coffee-free house. But we have gingerbread man, apple cinnamon, um, camomile.

Allie: [[w:Teach for America|Teach for America] Oh, that's right! How's ] going?

Marin: [''Breathes and exhales deeply''] It's hard. It's really hard. You can't reach those kids. They come from a system that's broken.

Allie: Wow. Yikes.

Amanda: Ricky's the hardest.

Marin: He's disturbed. It's not his fault.

Allie: Well, I think you guys just need to keep reminding yourselves that what you're doing is of great value.

Amanda: How's your work?

Allie: Oh, I'm ready for it to be done, I am. I, um, I've lost all my faith in startups. They're just as evil as hedge funds, yeah. Never again.

Marin: [''Harper is leaning back in her chair''] Harper, could you be careful in that chair? I think that's the broken one.

Harper: Okay, I just won't move at all.

Marin: Just be careful. Allie, I hear your going to Liberia soon.

Amanda: [''Sighs''] Oh, my god.

Allie: [''Chuckles''] Yeah, I'm really excited, yeah.

Marin: Yeah, your mom seems really concerned.

Harper: You talk to her mom?

Marin: Of course, Allie is my closest friend. So I think it's important to keep in touch with the whole family.

Harper: Can I use the bathroom?

Marin: [''To Allie''] It's the door on the right. And don't use so much toilet paper. The plumbing gets backed up. And no tampons. I'm really happy that you're joining the Peace Corps.

Amanda: Hmm.

Marin: [[w:Teach For America|your TFA training] I was really disappointed when you quit ].

Allie: Yeah, it just wasn't meant to be.

Marin: I know it can be intimidating, but I'm really glad that you found something that you can hold on to for now.

Allie: Thanks. So, um, Harper and I have had kind of a tough day.

Amanda: Oh, no.

Allie: [[w:Honda|Honda] It's okay now, but our bikes were stolen and we were on our way to the beach and we were wondering if we could maybe borrow the ]

Marin: Oh, I don't know. Do you have insurance?

Allie: Of course!

Marin: I'd feel more comfortable if I came with.

Allie: Oh, no, no, you don't have to do that. I'm a super safe driver, you remember.

Marin: [''Man screams in distance''] I wouldn't feel comfortable.
