Miranda: But last week.
Ethan: What about it, Sanchez?
Miranda: Please don't call me that.
Ethan: How bout Muh-RAND-ah?
Miranda: Justdon't say my name.
Ethan: Aightgirl. What about last week?
Miranda: Don't you remember?
Ethan: [Stares blankly.]
Miranda: At the Digital Bean?
Ethan: [Scratches head.]
Miranda: You came up to me, and youyou kissed me. [Has a dreamy, faraway look in her eye.]
Ethan: That was you?
Miranda: [Looks rejected.] Yes, Ethan, that was me.
Ethan: Oh. I thought you were Lizzie.
Miranda: You know, Ethan, Lizzie has blonde hair.
Ethan: She does?!
Miranda: Yes.
Ethan: Whoa, she's hotter than I thought!
Miranda: [Sighs.]
Ethan: So uh, what did we come here for again?
Miranda: [Sighsagain.] We're going to hang out here for a while. Then we're gonna walk to Pennridge and hopefully, we'll catch Lizzie and Gordo there.
Ethan: Isn't Pennridge like[Counts on fingers.] 1000 miles away from here?
Miranda: [Tries to be patient.] It's actually more like 5.
Ethan: As long as we get to see that fine young blonde lady, I'm cool wit it.
Miranda: God, Ethan, Lizzie is with Gordo! Can't you see? We were meant to be together. Just like they are.
Ethan: Girl, I already told you I only want to be friends wit chu.
Miranda: I don't even care anymore, Ethan! The more you hate me, the more I love you!
Ethan: Randa Panda, I don't hate you. But can't we just be, you know, buds?
Miranda: If you were any other boy, I'd say yes. But Ethan, you are the love of my life!
Ethan: [Looks around, dumbfounded. Suddenly, he sees something.] Hey, look! A butterfly! [Chases after it.]
Miranda: Ethan! Wait! [Chases after him.]

[Later that afternoon, at the McGuire household.]
Matt: Poor Miranda. I wish there was something we could do.
Lanny: [Sighs pitifully.]
[A pause in the conversation.]
Matt: [Suddenly upbeat.] So, did you bring the potion?
Lanny: [Smiles and nods enthusiastically. Digs into pockets and pulls out a small purple bottle.]
Matt: Okay, here's the plan. Down at the park, there's a couple of kids. I don't think you'd know them by their faces, so uhwell, the boy's wearing a blue sweater. Pull the potion on his eyes when he falls asleep, because God knows, that kid can't even walk 100 feet without resting. Oh, and make sure the next thing he sees is the girl. Okay?
Lanny: [Nods happily and skips out the door.]
