I love you all so, so so so much. 

[fallon-bates]

eli-bates:

Love you, Bambs. 

T-thanks Dad.

[fallon-bates]

Yeah.

Welcome.

Oh, alright. I’m here to talk if you need.

[fallon-bates]

Uh, thanks dad.

Nope. Just peachy.

That’s good to hear. You’ve been watching the kids so much, you deserve a good nice out. Something else bothering you?

[fallon-bates]

Oh, well, I thought I did. Yeah.

I was just wondering. You normally give us a call if you stay out late. You have a good time?

[fallon-bates]

A friend's house... why?

Out where, Fall? 

[fallon-bates]

Out.

That’s unacceptable, Fall. Where were you? 

[fallon-bates]

I dunno.

Nice to see you’re home. What time did you get in last night?

[fallon-bates]

I dunno. Ya'look sad.

Peachy, Fall. Why?

[fallon-bates]

You okay?

O-oh, hi. I didn’t think anyone was here.

[fallon-bates]

I've always appreciated live theater more than just regular TV. Plus, I never have any time to watch anything, I mean, with three younger siblings to look after and all.

I guess you're dad's pretty smart. I mean, doesn't all the attention get old after a long time?

I’m surprised you knew about that. We just closed a few weeks ago… And I’m surprised you recognized me from that. Usually people know me based off the movies I’ve been in.

It’s nice to meet you. Daddy says we’re here to “lay low” and so I can “get my head on straight”. I don’t really know what that means. I don’t really think for myself. My mom tells me what I have to do and I do it.

I knew it. My mom always keeps the old playbills around our house.

I'm Fallon. What's a kid like you doing in Brooksville?

Madeline Rae Collins. I played Prim in the Hunger Games on Broadway. 

[fallon-bates]

Oh no it's fine, no need to apologize. You're pretty talented.

Hey... aren't you that kid from Broadway?

Oh.. oops. Sorry. I guess I just got a little too into it. 

[fallon-bates]

Well then, you've got me beat.

[fallon-bates]

Oh, I know.

You Interns make this place a whole lot better, just sayin’.

[fallon-bates]

Duh.

Having fun there?
