Male Voice: Miranda?
Miranda: EEP! Oh... hey! Mr. Thorne! Hi there!
Thorne: Hi, Miri. Lovely morning, isn't it?
Miranda: Yes, yes. Um...Mr. Thorne, I've been admiring everything in this store through the windows, but they're never open! Do you know who owns it?
Thorne: As a matter of fact, I do! And

Miranda: I do?
Thorne: You do! This is MY store, and it's now open! Welcome! Please come right in, you're our first customer!
Miranda: *whispering* I'd say that
Mr. Thorne is the one with great timing. So um... don't tell him about the rock, okay? Thanks. Shhhh.
