At Lance’s house in the living room, he and his friend Ben are running and Ben bumps a lamp on accident and it breaks. He freaks out scared.
Ben: oh no! i’m gonna get in trouble.
Lance: it’s ok. it was an accident. and dad can get a new one.
Ben: but he’ll be mad.
Lance: no he won’t. i’ve done it before and he wasn’t mad. he just says ‘it’s ok we’ll get a new one.’ and then he says ‘try not to run in places where you can bump into stuff or places where you can get hurt.'
[ben calms down a little but is still worried. he’s not sure that lance’s claims about his dad are right.]
[rick, Lance’s dad, comes into the living room from his bedroom.]
Rick: hi ben.
Ben: hi.
[rick notices the broken lamp.]
Rick: oh.. what happened?
[ben says nothing]
Lance: we were running and ben knocked over the lamp on accident.
Rick: ok. well, try not to run where you can knock over stuff. how about you guys play outside instead of here?
Ben: ok!
Rick: are you guys hungry?
Lance: no but i think i’ll be hungry after playing outside.
Rick: k, what do you want to eat?
Lance: i want pizza. ben what do you want?
Ben: pizza sounds good. what kind?
Lance: i like plain cheese.
Ben: me too.
Rick: k, i’ll get it reading in the oven and then you can turn the dial to 15 minutes when you’re ready.
Lance: k. [and runs outside]
[rick opens the freezer to get pizza out.]
