ON THE ROAD

COACH: Back to your seat.

ISAAC: Stop thinking about it, man.

BOYD: [skeptically] Like you're not thinking about it, too?

ISAAC: Well, stop thinking about it.

BOYD: I can't.

ISAAC: Well, there's nothing you can do about it, either.

BOYD: You sure about that?

DANNY: Everything okay?

ETHAN: Yeah. Why?

DANNY: You checked your phone three times in the last five minutes...

ETHAN: [shrugging] Waiting on a message.

DANNY: Anything important?

ETHAN: No. Nothing.

STILES: Yo, Scotty!

SAM : Hey, yo! Scotty? Still with us?

SCOTT: [tiredly] Yeah, sorry. Uh, what's the word?

STILES: "Anachronism."

SCOTT: Something that exists our of its normal time.

STILES: Nice! Okay, next word-- "incongruous."

SCOTT: Uh, can you use it in a sentence?

SAM : Yes. Yes, I can! It's completely incongruous that we're sitting on a bus right now, on our way to some stupid cross-country meet, after what just happened. Incongruous.

SCOTT: Out of place, ridiculous, absurd.

STILES: Perfect. Okay, next word. Um... Darach.

STILES: Darach. It's a noun?

STILES: [sighing] We have to talk about it sometime, okay? And we're gonna be stuck in this thing for, like, five hours, so why not?

STILES: [sighing] Next word... "Intransigent."

SCOTT: Stubborn, obstinate...

STILES: Oh, buddy, you okay?

STILES: We shouldn't have come. I knew it-- we shouldn't have come.

SCOTT: We had to. There's safety in numbers.

SAM : [exasperatedly] Yeah, well, there's also death in numbers, okay? It's called a "massacre".

STILES: ...Or "bloodbath..." "Carnage..." "Slaughter..." "Butchery..." Wow, that's...

STILES: [sighing] All right, I'm telling Coach that--

SCOTT: [interrupting] No, no, no, no, I'm all right.

STILES: [scoffing] Well, you don't look all right! Would you just let me see it?

SCOTT: [weakly] I'm okay...

STILES: Just let me see it, okay?

SCOTT: [sighing] Okay...

STILES: [horrified] Oh, dude...

SCOTT: I know it's bad, but it's because they're from an Alpha-- it'll take longer to heal.

STILES: How come Boyd and Isaac are fine, then?

SCOTT: [sighing] I can't believe he's dead...

SCOTT: I can't believe Derek's dead.

ON THE ROAD

ALLISON: Am I getting too close?
