Eggshells, carrot tops. Compost is cool! Now stuff that in there. Very good, very good. Now I am going to make a steaming cup of compost tea. This is recycling in it's most basic form. Guys, don't drink it! It's for the plants.
[Edward]
What's in Jacksonville?
[Bella]
How did you know about that?
[Edward]
Iâyou didn't answer my question.
[Bella]
Well, you don't answer any of mine so... I mean you don't even say hi to me.
[Edward]
Hi.
[Bella]
Are you gonna tell me how you stopped the van?
[Edward]
Yeah, I had an adrenaline rush. It's very common. You can Google it.
[Bella]
Floridians. That's what's in Jacksonville.
[Edward]
Can you at least watch where you walk? Look I'mâI'm sorry I'm being rude all the time. I just think it's the best wayâ
[Jessica]
Bella! Guess who just asked me to prom! Umm... Yeah IâI actually totally thought that Mike was going to ask you. Umm... It's not going to be weird though, right? Causeâ
[Bella]
No. Zero weirdness. You guys are great together.
[Jessica]
I know, right?
[Justin]
Bella, look! It's a worm. It's a worm.
[Edward]
Bella weâwe shouldn't be friends.
[Bella]
You really should've figured that out a little earlier. I mean why didn't you just let the van crush me and save yourself all this regret?
[Edward]
What you think I regret saving you?
[Bella]
I can see that you do. I just don't know why.
[Edward]
You don't know anything...
[Alice]
Hi. Ummâare you going to be riding with us?
[Edward]
No. Our bus is full.
