Moving Day

Paul: Hey, A-L, when are you moving out?

A-L: What? Are you trying to get rid of me?

Paul: No, when are you leaving for California?

A-L: Oh, on the 17th. Are you renting out my room while I'm gone?

He teases her, and sometimes he locks her in the bathroom, accidentally. And his room stinks." It would take weeks to explain.

A-L: Yes, I suppose that's reason enough not to rent out my room while I'm gone...
