Dad: Louis it's quicker to the car if we use the exit up by the screen. Louis: What'll I do? I'll have to walk right past Abby and Lauren! They'll see me here with my parents! There they are! Um...uh...Okay--I'll run past them really fast, so they won't see me! Dad: Louis, didn't you hear those girls calling your name? Louis: No. God! My parents are such dorks!
