You all been walking almost all day now. It's almost nighttime when you come across some power station.

Kenny: Is that it?

Arvo doesn't respond.

Kenny: Hey! I'm talking to you!

Arvo: What? It? It what?

Clementine: Arvo, this isn't where you're taking us, right? How much further?

Kenny: Answer her!

Arvo: Is still more walk. Some more hours.

Kenny: Goddammit! I knew it. This guy fucked us.

Bonnie:  It's getting dark. Maybe we should stop for the night.

Kenny: This is bullshit!

Jane: Relax.

Kenny: Don't tell me to relax. This fucker's been lying to us the whole time!

Y/N: Could you all just STOP fighting?! Can we just have ONE calm quiet night where we aren't at each others throats?

Kenny: Fuck!

AJ starts crying.

Kenny: Oh, shit, sorry about that... it's all right buddy. It's all right.

Jane: If we're staying then we should scope the place out.

Kenny: All right, y'all wait here. I'll go make sure this ain't some walker nest we're locking ourselves into.

Jane: I'll go with you.

Kenny: See if... see if you calm him down for a bit.

He hands AJ to Clem and walks off. She looks at you, Luke, and Mike for help.

Mike: No. That's all you.

Y/N: Don't look at me. I wouldn't know what to do.

She playfully rolls her eyes before sticking her tongue out at him, which actually calms him down.

Mike: I didn't think that would ever work.

Y/N: That makes two of us.

Bonnie: I think he likes you. Calmed right down for ya.

Clementine: He's cute.

Bonnie: Yeah, he is, isn't he? Most babies are pretty ugly this soon after being born.

Mike: Yeah. They usually look like weird little aliens.

Bonnie takes AJ from Clem.

Kenny: Come on over. It's safe.

You all walked inside and sat around a campfire.

Luke: Today's my birthday...

Y/N: You can remember that? Happy birthday anyways.

Clementine: Happy birthday, Luke.

Mike: Yeah, man. Happy birthday.

Clementine: So, how old are you?

Luke: I am twenty seven years old. I sure as hell feel a lot older.

Kenny laughs.

Kenny: Don't start with that shit.

Luke: Got outta college five years ago... feels like a million years.

Y/N: What did you study?

Luke: I majored in art history.

Clementine: That's cool.

Kenny: Sounds like you majored in working in a coffee shop.

Luke: Yeah, pretty much. Got a minor in agriculture. Keep the old man happy.
