Sarah : Umm... That is kind of private, actually.
John : It's amazing!
Sarah : Ok, that's enough.
John : [Flipping through book] What, you're allowed to look at everyone else, take our pictures, and we're not allowed to see you?
[pause]
John : Seems like you want to run away.
Sarah : Just be happy when I can get out of here.
John : I don't know. Been to a lot of places...
Sarah : You don't have to give me that "there's no place like home" speech. I've heard it.
John : No, no. You can go wherever you want, see whatever you want to, but, um... a place is only as good as the people you know in it. I... I think this is a pretty good place.
