Alan rushes inside Brad’s room.
Alan(jumping at Brad): Wake up bud.
Brad: What the hell? It only waits (looking at his watch) 7. What the hell is wrong with you? It’s not even 8 and it’s still a vacation.
Alan: I know it’s still the 4th only. But we still have two weeks until the new term begins.
Brad: Well, two weeks will be gone in a puff of smoke if you sleep, Alan.
Alan: Well, I got Bonjovi Tickets.
Brad (wakes up in no time): Wait what Bonjovi is here in Seattle?
Alan: Ya, and he is gonna sing each of his songs. Would you believe that?
Brad: Really and how long?
Alan: Come on. It’s for 3 hours. From 6-9. It will be great.
Brad: Ya I wish it were. But Dad will be here for a week.
Alan: But he said he would be out for a month?
Brad: Well Mom told me he will be here tomorrow.
Alan: Well, the concert is today. So what’s the problem?
Brad: Well, it’s not today, it’s tonight.
Alan: Come on Bud. It cost me 40 bucks.
Brad: 20 bucks for one.
Alan: It’s a Bonjovi concert man.
Brad: well, the Bryan Adams cost 15.
Alan: Well, this one has only 1000 audiences. We are like VIPs. Can you believe that?
Brad: Really And how?
Alan: Well, I was thinking about the two minds stuff you said. So I brought up this gig. Remember Will Coleman from Lincoln High.
Brad: It’s two thoughts………… Do you mean that tall dude who is Eva’s boyfriend?
Alan: Ya, well he is a celebrity.As he gifted me these tickets.
Brad: Well why would Will Coleman give you tickets as he knows you are my best friend and Coleman is my rival after all.
Alan: Well, I let him take Eva for a long ride by taking you to Helena’s apartment yesterday.
Brad: What you struck a bargain?
Alan: Ya you didn’t let me in with Amber. So it turned out well.
Brad: Ya, whatever. Give me that….

Hank: Well, she is taking me to a concert with some Bonjovi guy.
Brad: What? How did she get the ticket?
Hank: Well, Will Coleman gave her as I have heard. She was trying to ake someone else but Eva convinced her to be with me.
Brad: Wow will Eva be there?
Hank: Well, only Will will be there and Eva will be with her dad that day.
Alan: Ok, is this something strange or I am missing something.
Brad: Well, she is a millionaire. So she must be doing something useful with her dad unlike us.
Hank: Well, I am trying to please your sister.
Alan: Ya, I wish Amber was there.

Alan: Well, Helena is still decorating her apartment.
Brad: And Violet is gonna be only in two weeks.
Hank: You were waiting for her to come back. Weren’t you brad?
Alan: Well, he was thinking of hibernation for two weeks.
Brad: Well, the safari and the race did tire me, Alan. And I still walked in a slopy path for 90 minutes while you rode a panther.
Alan: Well, the concert is gonna make you feel good.
Hank: What now you talking like a mature man Alan.
Brad: Ya, you are talking like Jade Wilson.
