Richard is in Staples Center waiting for the Lakers game to start. He has court-side seats with his friends Trevor, Jared, and Lance. Richard and his friends gulp down their beers and relax before the game begins. They watch the players warm-up. Francine enters the stadium and walks to the court-side seats.
Jenny: Franny, over here!
Richard looks up when he hears that name. It reminds him of the word "fanny", and he's curious to see who "Franny" is. Francine smiles spotting her sister and 2 brothers, Philip and Johnny. Francine walks over to her siblings and sits between Johnny, her younger brother, and Richard. Richard is stunned by how pretty Francine is, and he listens to her conversation with her siblings.
Johnny: How was work, Franny?
Francine: Damn tiring. I mean, is it so damn hard to make your check deposits on time? And these people are complaining to me that their checks are bouncing. Like, no shit, Sherlock.
Philip: Fun times.
Francine: (chuckles) I don't know if I can pay attention to this game today.
Johnny: Dude, don't even, man.
Francine: I know, I know. I'm just tired. I'm gonna go get a beer.
Francine leaves her purse and heads over to the food line.
Richard: Uh, guys, I'm gonna go get another beer.
Richard leaves his friends quickly and walks to where Francine is standing in line for beer. He stands behind Francine in line, and he glances at her over and over again. There's a deep urge in Richard to strike up a conversation with this pretty girl, but he doesn't know what to say. The entire time standing in line, Richard tries to think of what to say to Francine. It's finally her turn to grab a beer, so she walks up to the cashier.
Francine: Stone IPA, please...wait...ah, shit! I forgot my wallet!
Richard: Make it two, ma'am.
Richard hands his card to the cashier, and Francine looks at Richard surprised at such a friendly gesture from a complete stranger.
Francine: Oh wow, thank you so much.
Richard: (smiles) No problem. You uh had a long day?
Francine: Can you tell that easily?
Richard: Just figured. (puts his hand out) I'm Richard, by the way.
Francine: (smiles brightly and shakes Richard's hand firmly) Francine. Thanks for the beer, Richard. Hey, I'll get you next time.
Richard: How about after the game?
Francine: Oh.
Francine feels a little flustered by Richard's boldness, but she's taken by it.
Francine: (grins) Yeah, sure. You uh, you're the guy who's sitting next to me, right?
Richard: Yeah.
Francine: So, are you here with friends?
Richard: Yeah. It's one of my friend's birthday, and he loves basketball. So we all pitched in to get court-side seats.
Francine: Wow. Generous friends.
Richard: What about you?
Francine: I'm here with my family. We get season tickets on the house.
Richard: Really? How?
Francine: Well my dad owns a share for Staples Center. A huge one, actually. So out of generosity, we get court-side seats for every event here.
Richard: Damn. That's pretty amazing.
Francine: Eh, we're all kinda...used to it, I guess.
The cashier hands the two beers to Francine and Richard. They take it and walk away.
Francine: Well, I think I'm gonna hang out here for a while. The game's not gonna start for another 20 minutes, and it's way too loud in there. (smiles) You can stay out here with me if you want.
Richard: (grins) Yeah.
There aren't any chairs anywhere, so the two decide to sit on the bottom of the stairs leading to the 2nd floor.
Francine: So what do you do, Richard?
Richard: I'm studying to be a filmmaker.
Francine: Ooh, wanna be in Hollywood, huh?
Richard: Yeah, maybe one day. What about you?
Francine: Ugh, accountant.
Richard: (chuckles) Don't like the job, huh?
Francine: No. I mean, at first I thought I'd like to be an accountant because I'm good with handling my money. But I learned the hard way that not everyone is good at handling their money like me. And tryna handle people's money that's just so...so unorganized and all over the place, it gets me so frustrated. Oh...sorry. I didn't mean to rant on about my job.
Richard: No no, it's fine. I don't mind.
Francine: (smiles sheepishly) Aw, thanks, Richard. My siblings don't get me. My sister's a lawyer, my older brother's a bio-engineer, and my younger brother's a chef.
Richard: Wow, you got a pretty big family.
Francine: It gets even bigger. I have a baby sister too. She's only 1 and a half.
Richard and Francine sit on the stairs talking throughout the first half of the game. They don't even realize it's halftime until all the people flood out of the stadium to grab more beers and food. They genuinely enjoy each other's company, and Richard loves listening to Francine talk. She has a very dry sense of humor and she loves to make little witty remarks here and there, the kind of remarks that don't make someone belch out laughing but the ones that get Richard thinking, "Did she just say that?" Richard is hooked onto every single word that comes out of Francine's mouth, and he's so entranced by her charm that he knows he has to make this girl his. She has such confidence when she speaks, and Richard knows he needs a girl like Francine. All he ever wanted was to reach for the stars, and he knows deep in his heart that this girl is his ship to his dreams.
Francine: Oh crap, it's halftime!
Richard: Huh, guess it is.
Francine: Ugh, my family's gonna rip me for this. Wanna go back?
Richard: Yeah.
Francine and Richard head back into the stadium together.
Richard looks down at Francine resting her head on his lap. She's fast asleep with Mina sleeping on her lap. Richard smiles and brushes Francine's hair aside to look at her face. He strokes Francine's cheek gently, remembering the time he first met her. It warms his heart knowing how far they've come together after a year of being together, and he prays that he'll have many more days with Francine even through this apocalypse. Richard looks up at the sky, watching the sun go down. He knows it's about time to leave the rooftop with the group.
Richard: (quietly) Francine, wake up.
Francine jumps awake with fright and on edge, and it makes Mina wake up groggily. Francine starts panicking, and Richard quickly cups her face in his hands.
Richard: Hey hey, it's okay. It's okay. Look at me, Francine. Everything's okay.
Francine: What...(looks around) it's night.
Richard: Yeah. It's time.
Francine hands Mina over to Richard so that he can climb down the rope of blankets and covers with Mina since he's stronger. Mina hangs onto Richard tightly as he climbs down, and he lands safely on the ground.
Richard: You okay, Mina?
Mina: Yeah.
Everyone else climbs down, and Deana leads the way. Richard holds onto the shower pole as Francine holds the lamp in one hand and Mina in her other arm. The group led by Deana walk through the city as quietly as they can in the pitch dark night past the walkers.
Ronald: Shit, I have to sneeze.
Deana: Don't you fucking dare.
Ronald: It's coming. I gotta-
Ronald sneezes with his hand covering his mouth, but even this muffled sound attracts the walkers.
Dennis: Hurry, hurry, get us out of here Deana.
The walkers start nearing the group, and they sprint as fast as they can towards the woods. Francine is slowed down by carrying Mina, and Richard sees this. He grabs Mina from Francine, and Francine throws the lamp away to grab the shower pole from Richard. A walker nears on them, and Francine smashes the pole through its head. The group manages to run into the woods, and they all stop to gather their breaths.
Ronald: Holy shit, we made it-
A walker lunges out through the dark and bites Ronald's neck. Ronald screams in pain, attracting more walkers. Francine quickly kills the walker with the shower pole, and the group looks at Ronald grabbing onto his bleeding neck.
Deana: We gotta go!
Charlie: I'm not leaving Ron!
Dennis and Charlie help Ronald run, and the group flees. They run deep into the woods, and Dennis and Charlie stop when Ronald isn't running anymore.
Dennis: Hey! Hey guys, wait!
The group stops and look back at Dennis and Charlie set Ronald down on the ground. Ronald isn't moving anymore, lying dead still on the grass.
Charlie: Is he...is he dead?
Francine goes on her knees and feels for a pulse on both Ronald's wrist and neck.
Francine: I don't feel a pulse. (looks up at Charlie and Dennis) I'm sorry.
Deana: He's gonna turn.
Charlie: (to Francine) Give me the pole. I'll do it.
Francine hands the shower pole to Charlie, and he looks down at Ronald.
Charlie: Sorry, man. Rest in peace.
Charlie punctures a hole through Ronald's head, and Charlie falls back leaving the pole in Ronald's head. Francine takes the pole out of Ronald's head, and she looks back at Richard and Mina sadly.
Francis: We should set up camp here.
Deana: Here? In the middle of the woods?
Francis: (annoyed) Where else are we gonna go, Deana?
Francine: I agree with Francis. We'll stay up in shifts, make sure no walkers get near us. Then we'll figure out what to do in the morning. (looks at everyone) Agreed?
Everyone agrees. Since it's too dark to walk around the woods, no one ventures out to find food even though everyone is starving hungry. Francine and Richard take the first shift while everyone else tries to get some rest. Mina is resting on the dirt looking up at the starry night sky. She's playing with her fingers above her head as usual, a little routine she does before she falls asleep.
Francine: (rubbing Mina's stomach) Go to sleep, Mina.
Mina: Okay.
Francine continues rubbing Mina's stomach while she and Richard sit back-to-back, looking out at the dark forest.
Richard: You okay, Francine?
Francine: Yeah. You?
Richard: Yeah.
Francine: Richard...I'm so glad I have you with me.
Richard: I'm glad I have you too, babe. You know I love you.
Francine: I love you too.
Richard: (sighs) We'll get through this. I know we will.
Francine: Yeah. I think so too.
After sitting and keeping watch for a few hours, Francine is the first to get sleepy. Richard can feel Francine nodding off behind him. He walks over to Charlie and Dennis, waking them up.
Richard: Hey, guys, wake up.
Charlie and Dennis stir awake with a jump.
Richard: We're getting tired. It's your shift.
Charlie and Dennis sit up, and Richard hands them the shower pole.
Charlie: How long has it been?
Richard: Haven't been counting.
Charlie: Right.
Richard: You guys good to keep watch?
Charlie: Yeah. I'm good.
Dennis: I'm good too.
Richard: Alright. Thanks.
Richard walks balk over to Francine, who's asleep sitting up. Richard nudges Francine gently, and she gasps awake.
Francine: (panics) What?
Richard: (quietly) Let's go to sleep. Charlie and Dennis are keeping watch.
Francine: O-Okay.
Francine lies down next to Mina, and Richard sleeps next to Francine. They sleep on their sides, and Richard puts his arm around Francine's waist to keep her close. Francine keeps her arm around Mina to keep her close.
Richard: (whispers) Go to sleep, Francine. I'll be here when you wake up.
Francine: Okay. (looks back at Richard) I love you.
Richard: Love you too.
They share a quick kiss, and Francine closes her eyes and rests.
The family spot Francine walking back to their court-side seats with Richard.
Jenny: There you are! Where the hell were you?!
Francine: I was just talking with Richard. Richard, this is my family. That's my sister Jenny and my brothers Johnny and Philip.
The siblings all greet Richard, and he greets the siblings.
Johnny: So you're one of my sister's friends?
Richard: Well, we actually just met here.
Francine: We were waiting in line for a beer, and I forgot my wallet so he bought one for me.
Johnny: (suspicious) Huh.
Philip: So Richard, (takes out his wallet) guess my sister owes you some money for the beer, huh?
Philip hands Richard a 10 dollar bill.
Philip: There you go, man.
Francine: You don't have to do that, Philip. I'm gonna buy Richard a beer later.
Philip: Later? What, like later tonight?
Francine: Or some other night.
Philip: (to Richard) Just take it, man. It's fine.
Francine: Stop, Philip.
Francine shoves the money away from Richard and glares at her brother. Jenny can see her sister needs some help and saving.
Jenny: So Richard, you live around here?
Richard: No, I'm actually from Canada.
Jenny: Oh wow, Canada! So what brings you here to LA?
Richard: It's my friend's birthday, so we all pitched in for his airplane ticket and these seats.
Jenny: Wow, he's lucky to have friends like you. Anyways, our family's having a barbeque tomorrow for lunch. You and your friends should come over.
Francine: (to Jenny) Really?
Jenny: Yeah. Our family's barbeque is known throughout the neighborhood. You gotta come over and try it. I guarantee you and your friends will love it.
Richard: Uh...wow, that's real generous of you, Jenny. Yeah, yeah that sounds great.
Jenny: Great! So why don't you give Francine your number, and she'll text you our address and the time.
Richard: Yeah, sure.
Richard and Francine exchange numbers, and halftime is over. Richard's friends come back and ask him where he was, and Richard glances over to Francine and her family. Simultaneously, Francine is grinning at her sister widely so thankful that Jenny can read Francine's mind at times like this. For the rest of the second half, Richard just hangs out with his friends while Francine hangs out with her siblings. Throughout the rest of the game, they try to catch a glance at the other but it's unsuccessful. Whenever Richard tries to talk to Francine, she's already talking to her siblings and has her back to him. When Francine tries to talk to Richard, he's talking with his friends and she doesn't want to butt into their conversation. But they can't stop thinking about each other the entire time. When the game ends, they all stand up to head their separate ways home. Francine looks back at Richard, and he smiles sheepishly as their eyes lock in contact.
Francine: (smiles shyly) Hey.
Richard: (smiles sheepishly) Hey.
Francine: So you'll make it tomorrow?
Richard: Yeah.
Francine: (smiles) Great. So uh, I'll see you then.
Richard: (nods) Yeah.
Richard watches Francine walk away with her siblings...After the long night, Jenny and Francine prepare for bed in their home. They share a room together in their parents' mansion, who are gone for 3 months on vacation. Francine hops in bed and sighs thinking of Richard.
Jenny: So, that guy really likes you, Franny.
Francine: Really? You think so?
Jenny: Yeah. It's so obvious. I can recognize that kind of look anywhere.
Francine: The kinda look Joe had when he met you?
Jenny: You know it.
Francine laughs and her phone beeps. She looks at it and sees that it's a text from Richard.
Richard: Hey. Got your address and the time for tomorrow.
Francine: Great! It won't be a bother for you, right?
Richard: Not at all :) I'm glad your sister invited me and my friends. I'm excited for tomorrow
Francine: Me too! I'm real glad I got to meet you today.
Richard: Yeah, me too. :)
Francine sighs.
Jenny: What is it?
Francine: Nothing. I just wrote to Richard that "I'm real glad I got to meet you today" and he just wrote back "Yeah, me too" with a smiley face.
Jenny: And?
Francine: Well...I don't know. It's just...kinda short, you know?
Jenny: (rolls eyes) Ugh, shut the hell up, Franny.
Francine: You don't think it's a big deal?
Jenny: Don't be one of those girls, Franny, or you'll drive him away.
Francine: The way I did to Scott?
Jenny: (looks at Francine) No, no babe. You know I didn't mean it like that.
Francine: Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I'm just being a bitch right now.
Jenny: Just go to sleep, Franny. You can talk to Richard tomorrow.
Francine: (sighs) Alright.
Francine puts her phone away and falls asleep with a smile on her face.
Francine stirs awake and sees Mina still asleep. It's the crack of dawn, and Francine looks up at the dark sky. She feels Richard's heavy arm over her waist, and she gently crawls away to stretch her legs. She glances over and sees Francis and Deana, who are supposed to keep guard, asleep. Francine chortles and shakes her head. As she's stretching her legs and arms, Francine hears faint whimpers through the woods. She freezes, afraid of what it might be. As she listens harder, she can hear that they sound like whimpers for help. Francine looks back at Richard and Mina, but her curiosity gets the best of her. She walks quietly into the woods by herself, making sure to be dead silent. She hears the faint whimpers getting louder, and she knows it has to be an animal's whimper. Francine follows the whimpers to a bush. She parts the bush in half with her hands, and she gasps seeing 3 little puppy wolves alone whimpering.
Francine: Oh, look at you.
Francine cautiously reaches out to the wolves, and they look up back at her cautiously.
Francine: I won't hurt you, babies.
The brown colored wolf pup sniffs Francine's hand, and it starts licking her hand. Francine smiles and is about to pick up the brown pup when she hears footsteps behind her. She gasps and turns around afraid, but then she sees that it's Richard holding Mina in his arms. He was clearly worried that Francine had disappeared from camp when he woke up, and he couldn't take the chance of leaving Mina alone with the rest of the group sleeping.
Richard: (growls) Goddamn it, Francine. Do you know how (tries not to curse)...I was so goddamn worried that you were hurt.
Francine: I'm sorry, but look here. Come here, Mina. Look.
Richard puts Mina down, and Mina walks over to Francine to peer down at the bush.
Mina: (gasps) Oh, they're so cute.
Richard looks to see the baby wolf pups.
Richard: Are those...wolves?
Francine: Yeah. I heard them whimpering, so I came and found them. I don't know where their parents are.
Mina: Maybe they got eaten by the monsters.
Francine: Yeah, maybe. Here, why don't you try and hold one?
Richard: Francine, I don't think that's a good idea.
Francine: Oh come on, Richard. They're just pups.
Francine holds the wolf who's fur is white as snow. She puts it in Mina's arms, and Mina adores the wolf pup. Francine holds the gray wolf pup and makes Richard hold it while she holds the brown wolf pup. The wolf pups rejoice in their arms, and even Richard can't help but want to keep the pups because they're so adorable.
Richard: What if their parents come back and find them missing?
Francine: No, I don't think so. I...I have a feeling their parents aren't coming back.
Richard: Just a feeling, huh?
Francine: (smiles) Yeah. Let's keep them.
Richard: Are you serious, Francine?
Mina: Oh please, I wanna keep them, Richard.
Francine: Yeah. C'mon, Richard. Let's keep them. They're so cute. Besides, we can't just let them live on their own out here. They'll die from starving or get eaten by the walkers.
Mina and Francine: Please, Richard.
Richard looks at the sisters and sighs. He looks at the grey wolf pup in his arms, and it looks up at him with beading eyes. It melts his heart, and he gives in.
Richard: (sighs) Fine.
Francine and Mina: Yes!
Mina: (looks at her white wolf pup) I'm gonna name you Faron.
Francine: I'm gonna name mine Nayru. (to Richard) What about you? What're you gonna name your wolf?
Richard: (looks at his pup) Uh...(shrugs) how about Eldin?
Richard arrives with his 3 friends Trevor, Jared, and Lance to Francine's home. They're completely amazed at the grandiose mansion before them.
Jared: And uh, you said this chick's dad owns a share in Staples Center, right?
Richard: (looking with awe at the exterior of the mansion) Yeah.
Lance: Dude...you scored way too big, Richard.
Trevor: Yeah, man. This girl is way out of your league.
Richard: Shut up.
Richard walks up to ring the doorbell. The sound of dogs barking ring through the backyard. Philip opens the door and sees Richard and his friends.
Philip: Hey, 'sup man.
Richard: Hey Philip. These are my friends Trevor, Jared, and Lance.
Trevor, Jared, and Lance: Hey.
Philip: Hey. Come in.
The 4 friends enter the mansion, and they're in even more awe at the beautiful interior designing of this magnificent home.
Philip: Everyone's in the back.
Philip leads the guys to the backyard, and there they see a German Shepherd, a Doberman, a Saluki, and a Dalmatian.
Francine: Richard!
Richard's heart pounds hard in his chest hearing his name being called out by Francine.
Richard: (smiles) Hey Francine.
Francine hops over to Richard and gives him a light hug. Richard introduces his friends to the family, and Francine introduces her family to Richard's friends. Jenny and Francine quickly make the guys feel at home. Jenny introduces her boyfriend, Joe, to Richard and his friends too. The guys all sit around the table while Johnny is at the grill. Francine walks over to where baby Mina is playing on the grass. She brings the baby over to the table.
Francine: This is my baby sister, Mina. Mina, can you say hi?
Mina waves her hand with a goofy grin on her face. The guys smile and coo at the baby.
Richard: (smiles) She's so cute.
Jenny: Takes after me.
Philip: Ugh, shut up.
Joe: (makes a jokingly threatening fist to Philip) Hey!
Philip: (defensive) My bad. My bad.
Trevor: You guys got a lotta dogs.
Philip: Yeah, we're a big dog family.
Joe: So, you guys were in LA only for the game?
Richard: Well, there's also a concert we're checking out tomorrow.
Philip: Above and Beyond?
Guys: Yeah!
Lance: You goin' too?
Philip: Nah, I got work.
Richard: (to Francine) What about you?
Francine: Work too.
Trevor: You can't get outta work for one day?
Francine: Mm well...I mean, I don't even have a ticket to go.
Jared: We can all pitch in and buy you a ticket.
Francine: (smirks) Really? You'd do that for me?
Jared: Yeah! I'm sure (looks at Richard) Richard really wants you to go.
Francine: (smiles sheepishly) No, I feel bad. It's probably really expensive now anyways.
Lance: We can all pay 1/4 of the ticket. I'll look up how much they are right now.
Lance looks up the tickets online, and his mouth drops.
Francine: How much is it?
Lance: It's 785 dollars.
Everyone: Whoa!
Francine: Jesus Christ, man. For one ticket?
Lance: Let's see, divide that by 4 that's...about 190 dollars for each of us.
Trevor: Jared can pay more cus he's the richest out of all of us.
Francine laughs.
Lance: Yeah! C'mon Jared, do this for Richard. Just pitch in 230 dollars or something.
Jared: Dude, are you kidding me right now?
Jared looks at Richard, and Richard just shrugs with a smile.
Trevor: Yeah, man. Remember what happened with Alice? Remember what Richard did for YOU?
Jared bites his lips and hangs his head down to think.
Jared: Uh...yeah. Yeah, alright, fine.
Francine: (grins) Really?
Trevor: Alright, that's settled then! We'll get you your ticket, Francine.
Francine: Wait, (to Jared) so you're really gonna pay 230 bucks for me to attend this concert with you guys?
Jared: (looks at Richard) Anything for my boy.
Francine: (smirks) Alright, you can't go back on your word, okay?
Jared: (laughs) I won't, I won't. I promise.
Francine: No, I mean it. These are all my witnesses. You're gonna pay 230 bucks for my ticket, alright?
Jared: I will, I swear.
Francine glances at her family and smiles as if she's telepathically communicating with them. Richard notices this and keeps his eyes on Francine.
Francine: So how are you guys getting there? Where is it, anyways?
Richard: It's at Vegas.
Francine: Ooh, Vegas!
Richard: Jared's driving. He's borrowing his uncle's car.
Francine: Wait, wait. So you're gonna pay extra for my ticket AND drive your uncle's car for us? Wow, you're really putting a lot into this, huh Jared?
Jared: Yeah well...I mean, it's no big deal.
Francine: So gas will be about 40 dollars per person though. You sure you wanna spend 270 on me?
Jared: (thinking) Uh...well, uh, yeah. No wait, you know what? 230 is way too much, man. I'll spend 210 at most.
Francine: Wait, but you just said a minute ago that you'll pay 230 for my ticket.
Jared: No-
Francine: (raises eyebrow) No?
Jared: Uh...well, yeah, I did but...
Richard glances at the family and he sees them all smiling. Richard knows that Francine purposely trapped Jared, and it amuses him. He sits back on his chair and watches Francine going at it, attracted by such playful aggressiveness.
Francine: You guys are all my witnesses. Remember Jared said he's paying 230 for my ticket? And he promised he wouldn't go back on his word, right?
Trevor: (hits Jared in the chest) Yeah, man. Don't go back on your word.
Jared: (glares at Trevor) Dude, what the hell...(to Francine) look, I'll pay 220, how about that?
Francine: No way. You PROMISED me 230, remember? Who here remembers Jared promising me 230 bucks for my ticket?
Everyone raises their hands, and Jared scratches his head not knowing how to come back with a reply. Trevor and Lance laugh at Jared turning bright red getting caught trying to go back on his word. Richard smiles and shakes his head.
Francine: (laughs) Aw, I'm just kidding, Jared. I'm teasing you. I can't go to the concert anyways.
Lance: Aw really? It'd be so much fun if you came.
Francine: I can't get outta work. But you guys are gonna have a lot of fun.
Francine looks at Richard and catches him looking at her with a big smile on his face. She smiles shyly and tucks her hair behind her ear looking at her sister. Jenny smiles back at Francine as she and Joe are holding hands. The dogs all surround Johnny as he's working on the grill, and Francine whistles for the dogs. They all immediately run to their table wagging their tails happily.
Francine: Wanna see something?
Richard: Sure.
Francine gets up and gets into a Wild Wild West pose. She walks with a badass cowboy swagger towards the dogs while whistling the tune. Richard smiles watching Francine. He can't help thinking that this girl is a truly special girl and that he wants to make her his girlfriend before he leaves for Canada.
Francine: (Western accent) This here's mah rackin-sackin town, partner.
Francine pretends to get out two guns with her fingers and she points her left hand gun to the Dalmatian and her right hand gun to the Doberman.
Francine: Bang! Bang! (points to the Saluki and the German Shepherd) Bang! Bang!
The dogs all bark and whimper, and they fall on the floor and roll over playing dead. They stay like that for 5 seconds, and the guys laugh impressed by how well-trained these dogs are. The dogs then jump back onto their feet, and Francine throws them treats.
Lance: That was impressive.
Jared: Damn, your dogs are well-trained.
Philip: Hey, how about some music guys?
Philip turns on the boombox, and hip-hop comes blasting on. Philip gets up to grab a beer, and he decides to play with Mina on the grass. He whistles, and Mina looks up at him. Philip starts doing some dance moves, and when he's done he points at Mina. Mina laughs and jumps on her feet. She circles around clapping out of beat, and she loses balance and falls on her butt protected by a diaper. The guys all laugh at how cute Mina is. Philip does some more moves while Mina watches, and she watches him with a look of bewildered astonishment. When he's done, he points at Mina again. She gets back on her feet and walks in circles clapping her hands with a goofy grin. She then stretches down to touch her toes like a dance move and lifts her arms in the air like a Y.
Richard: (laughs) Oh my god, she's so adorable.
Even Francine is impressed at Mina's dance moves. She whistles, and Mina looks at her. Francine starts doing popping MJ moves as she slides out of her chair, and she glides over to Mina smoothly.
Trevor: (to Richard) Damn, she's got moves too.
When Francine is done with her bit, she points at Mina. Mina bends forward and back as if trying to copy Francine's wave moves, and the guys all laugh at Mina's attempt at a wave. When she's done, she points back at Francine with a goofy grin. Francine laughs and holds Mina in her arms, kissing her baby sister.
Francine: Oh, I love you so much, Mina.
Mina just laughs, ticklish from Francine's kisses.
Francine watches Mina playing around with her new wolf pup pet, Faron. She and the 3 wolves are rolling around on the ground playing together while the group compose themselves from their first night out. They all sit around a circle while Francine keeps Mina at an eye's distance.
Dennis: So where do we go now? What do we do?
Charlie: I'm hungry.
Deana: Me too.
Francine: Well, if there are wolves out here then there should be other kinds of animals, right?
Francis: Yeah, like deers or rabbits or something.
Dennis: (to Francine) You know how to hunt, Girl Scouts?
Francine: No, but Richard does.
Richard: Yeah, with a gun.
Deana: (annoyed) We don't have a gun.
Francine: (to Richard) What can we do?
Richard: I can only think of one way to hunt here without the proper weapons. When we spot an animal, let's say a deer, the group has to split in two. One group goes behind the animal to scare it, try to make it run forward towards the other group. When it's close enough, the other group will kill the animal with the shower pole. Just bash it until it's dead.
Francine: (nods) Sounds like a plan to me.
Francis: Yeah, me too.
Charlie: I'm in.
Dennis and Deana also agree. The group continue moving on forward with the 3 wolf pups, and lo and behold they spot an adult deer munching on the grass far ahead. Francine, Richard, and Francis group off while Dennis, Charlie, and Deana make the other group. Mina stands behind Francine with the 3 wolf pups looking at the deer. Dennis, Charlie, and Deana scare the deer by popping out of the bushes, and it runs right towards Richard, Francine, and Francis. With all his might, Richard knocks the deer back with the shower pole and the deer trembles from the shock. Richard is shocked, imagining how much pain the deer must be in to have been bashed in the head with the metal pole.
Francine: Richard.
Richard looks at Francine, and he knows he has to finish killing the deer so that they can all eat. Richard beats the deer to death, letting go of all the restrictions in his head about killing an animal so cruelly and barbarically. Richard takes a step back when he knows the deer is dead. He's covered in the deer's blood splatter, and Francine wraps her hands around Richard's arm. Richard takes a step back, panting from the beating. Everyone stares at the dead deer bleeding profusely from the beating and bashing.
Francine: I'll start the fire.
