NATE: Hey there, Dad! DAD: Hi, Nate. NATE: Can Francis sleep over tonight? DAD: Don't you two ever get tired of each other? You just slept over his house last week! NATE: It's fun! DAD: Hmm...you've had a lot of late nights lately. NATE: But it's summer! It's not like I'm missing schoolwork or anything! DAD: Well, that's true enough...hmmm... NATE: Please, dad? Puh-leeez? DAD: All right, Francis can sleep over. NATE: Thanks Dad! DAD: (thought) At least he's learned to check with me before he goes ahead and ... NATE: He said yes! Get in here!
