{Lizzie is in a classroom looking though some folders on the desk. The bell rings and a man walks in the door at the same time. Lizzie jumps away from the desk}

Man:  "That was purely coincidence. May I help you?"

Lizzie:  "Well that depends. Who are you?"

Man: {Coming over to his desk and putting his things down} "I’m Ted Murty. This is my class."

Lizzie:  "Oh, good, because I want to enroll."

Mr. Murty: {Moving to sit on a desk across from her} "Really? Why?"

Lizzie:  "Why?"

Mr. Murty:  "It not a trick question."

Lizzie:  "Ok, well, then, let's see--well, for one thing, I really love to read."

Mr. Murty:  "Good. That's a definite plus."

Lizzie:  "And I hear you're really cool."

Mr. Murty:  "Oh, flattery's always good. Now, how about some honesty?"

Lizzie: {Pausing for a moment} "There's this guy--"

Mr. Murty:  {Laughing} "I like your style. {He goes over to his books} Let's hope it translates.  What's your name?"

Lizzie: "Elizabeth Webber." {He writes her name down and Lizzie smiles}
