ELENA:So.How was your day in the Berkshires? HEATHER:Really nice.
[00:16.90]ELENA:Did Kevin drive? HEATHER:Yep.
[00:19.06]ELENA:How's he doing?
[00:20.64]HEATHER:He's getting very comfortable.Maybe too comfortable.
[00:24.65]ELENA:How?
[00:25.54]HEATHER:He got a speeding ticket.
[00:27.34]ELENA:In that car?
[00:29.54]HEATHER:We weren't in a hurry or anything.He's just very competitive.
[00:33.53]If someone passes him,he has to drive faster.
[00:36.41]I don't like it at all.Just before he got the ticket,a Porsche went by.
[00:41.69]ELENA:He tried to keep up with a Porsche.That's very sad.
[00:47.98]HEATHER:Really.But that's not the worst.He refuses to ask for directions.
[00:53.66]ELENA:So does Dean! I hate that.
[00:56.64]HEATHER:We were wandering around western Massachusetts
[00:59.23]and he didn't have a clue about where we were.
[01:01.92]But would he stop at a gas station and ask? No.
[01:04.78]ELENA:They have to discover it for themselves.
[01:08.86]HEATHER:And then,an hour later,
[01:11.45]when they accidentally stumble upon the place,they say, "See?I told you.
[01:16.22]HEATHER AND ELENA:I knew where it was."
[01:18.31]HEATHER:Men! ELENA:Men!

[02:01.08]DIDI:He wants to rent a house.
[02:02.88]SHARON:Yes.He wants a house with a garden.
[02:06.38]DIDI:With a garden.Why?
[02:08.88]And he wants a large kitchen,living room,and dining room.
[02:16.68]DIDI:It has to have plenty of light,and central air conditioning.
[02:22.68]It must be near transportation,shopping,and the river.
[02:29.57]DIDI:How many bedrooms?
[02:32.95]SHARON:Nine.
[02:34.25]DIDI:Did I hear you correctly?Nine bedrooms?
[02:39.05]Who is this client,the Vienna Boy's Choir?
[02:41.95]SHARON:Maybe.He wants it for a song.
[02:45.24]DIDI:Well,there is something in Boston that fits his needs.
[02:50.11]SHARON:Great.

[03:37.58]WILLIAM:She said they had done a lot of walking.
