Josh: This is going to be so lush.
Andy: I know we will be totally rebel now.
Josh: Yeah just like Drew and Ryan.
Andy: Well hurry up, people will be coming soon.
Josh: Hold on scum rat. If we rush this it won’t look good.
Andy: I don’t want to get caught that’s all, do you know what my parents would do to me if we were caught.
Josh: No but please do tell me, I’m dying to know.
Andy: I wouldn’t be able to play golf for like 4 months!
Josh: Who cares!
Andy: Me! So just get on with it.
Josh: Righto then, what are we doing again?
Andy: Spray painting the tunnel.
Josh: Oh yeah let’s get started.
(Josh & Andy start to spray paint the tunnel)
Andy: Dam that looks good.
Josh: Yeah it’s pretty sweet.
Andy: So now what do we do?
Josh: Dunno wanna go get something to eat?
Andy: Yeah I could go for something.
Josh: Righto then let’s go.
(Josh and Andy walk off; a little while later Drew and Ryan walk through the tunnel)
Drew: Hey I wonder what Josh and Andy are up to.
Ryan: I dunno probably trying to be rebel again.
Drew: I know what is with that.
Ryan: They’re just trying to be like us.
(Drew and Ryan both laugh)
Drew: Hey look at that.
Ryan: What is it?
Drew: I dunno, it looks gay.
Ryan: It was probably Josh and Andy.
Drew: Ha-ha yeah that something they would do.
Ryan: So are you hungry?
Drew: Yeah I haven’t eaten since lunch.
Ryan: KFC?
Drew: Definitely.
