use an iPad or watch TV.

49

..so he won't
take things for granted.

..they've run up against
a huge misconception...

69

of a life organized to the nth...

at any minute.

go to school alone, are responsible and mature.

there must be a reason.

Sorry...

to buy them, remember? - (Nicola) I'm off.

1195
01:32:10.875 --> 01:32:15.833

- (Sara) No, morning.

1196
01:32:15.875 --> 01:32:20.416

(Sara) Want to know mine?

1202
01:32:34.333 --> 01:32:39.250

Should we first talk about yours?

1203
01:32:39.291 --> 01:32:42.666
- (Sara) What did you do today?
- (Nicola) The dishwasher, they all saw me.

1204

- (Sara) Screw you.
- (Nicola) You fly right off the handle.

1205
01:32:45.375 --> 01:32:48.500
(Sara) If there's something to do,
you always do it later...

1206
01:32:48.541 --> 01:32:51.875
(Nicola) We do things together,
we do everything together!

1207
01:32:51.916 --> 01:32:57.041
- (Sara) You do things after I already have.
- (Nicola) Why do you do things right away?
