Penny

Oh no! What happened, babe?

Ellie

A pipe in my apartment burst and the whole thing flooded. It’s going to take awhile for them to repair it.

Beau

The fuck?? That’s not good, Ellie Belly.

Abigail

OMG, what? Did you tell Mom & Dad?

Ellie

Yeah, they know. I called them after dinner.

Penny

Where are you staying in the meantime?? Did your landlord put you up in a hotel?

Abigail

He better have.

Ellie

Ah… I’m staying with Owen in the meantime. Just for a few days, while I figure out my living situation.

Penny

WAIT. You’re in my brother’s apartment, right now??

Penny

And I didn’t know sooner?

Owen

We’re just friends, Pen. Of course I told her she could stay here.

Zachary

Look at that. Guess we DO have the right number.

Wesley

How many times can we say “Ah, the prodigal son returns” before it stops being funny?

Beau

At least one more.

Owen

You three are just as bad as my teammates.
