Nicole:Mindy tells me you're a musician.

Drake:Yes I am. Do you play?

Nicole:No, but my older brother does. Our rooms use to be near each other. I could always hear him playing. Sometimes I'd get sick of it.

Drake:Do you miss your brother when he's not home?

Nicole:Yeah I do. Wouldn't you miss Josh if he didn't live at home?

Drake:I never thought I'd say this but yeah I would. I have a question?

Nicole:Shoot.

Drake:Does Tom & his friends always bug you?

Nicole:Pretty much yeah, but its no big deal.

Drake:I want you to stay away from them.

Nicole:Drake their not that dangerous.

Drake:Just humor me & watch your back ok?

Nicole:Ok. Hey, shouldn't you be resting monkey boy?

Drake:Yeah I should, want to walk me to my room?

Nicole:Have you been talking to my doctor?

Drake:Yes & his my doctor too.

Nicole:We're quite a pair.
