Welcome, Anne/Transcript

Anne: [wakes up washed-up on the beach] Where *am* I? Who am I? Is anyone I know here? Hello?

Emiliana: [walking past] Oh my goodness! It's a girl! She's laying on the beach!

Kayla: Don't you know this isn't a beach you can, like, *swim* at?

Anne: I was underwater. Screeching for help, being attacked. And I'm glad to have washed up here.

Ruth Ann: Alright. My name is Ruth Ann and we have a place we can take you to.

Anne: A hospital?

Ruth Ann: Better.

Anne: What are you do-

Ruth Ann, Emiliana and Kayla: [picks up Anne and carries her to Valley View High]

Kayla: Yup! By the way, my name is Kayla.

Emiliana: Je m'appelle Emiliana.

Anne: Kay! I'm Anne! Aaah!

[at the Valley View High reception]

Emiliana: We rescued a girl who was washed up on the beach.

Ruth Ann: And she's got nowhere to go.

Emiliana: So … could you please find her a place in this school?

Miss Morrow: We'll see what we can do, but she can live in *your* dormitory no matter what. Have a nice day!

Anne: Dormitory?

Ruth Ann: Yeah, Emiliana's dad paid for our student accommodations so we could live on the campus but in our own building.

Anne: Yay! So can you take me there?

Emiliana: Totally.

[at their student housing]

Ruth Ann: Hey, this is your *new* home, Anne!

Anne: [looks at a cat lamp] Neko Britenite! I love that lamp!

Italy: Anne, my name is Italy, like the country. So, if there's this new girl, or new person … don't wanna offend anyone …

[Anne peers around in a circle]

Italy: … does this mean I don't have my own room all to myself anymore?

Emiliana: Well, yes. Sorry.

Italy: That's *good*! I'm not so lonely anymore!

Anne: [enters Italy's room] Wait, there's only one bed.

Ruth Ann: Operation "buy Anne a bed" now begins!

Anne: Where will we buy it?

Ruth Ann: We'll check the local shops, if we can't find one there, we order online, easy!

Emiliana: I'm paying for it with my credit card, easy-peasy.

[at the local shops]

Kayla: [struts to a fluffy bed] Get this bed, the pink and fluffy one!

Anne: It's cute and all, but, hold on. [lays on the fluffy bed] I'm sinking! I'm sinking! Quicksand! Aahh! [screams while sinking into the bed] Help me! Help me! *Help!*

Ruth Ann: Oh snap, I just dropped my uPod!

Unknown woman: I need shoplifting so I can feed my kids! [steals Ruth Ann's uPod]

Ruth Ann: Look, lady, I know you're having a hard time, but that's *my* uPod. Give it back.

Emiliana: Hey, lady, you're wearing Miccilini! You're just stealing for the sake of theft! Give it back!

Unknown woman: Kay. [gives Emiliana Ruth Ann's uPod and flees the store]

Anne: That was awful. [points left] Next bed!

Emiliana: That looks DIYed.

Mara: Stop insulting the furniture, you don't know how hard people worked to make it!

Anne: [gets poked by a spring] Oh my god! This is **poking me in the back**!

Italy: Lemme try it. [lays on it] Ow! There must be a spring under the mattress or something!

[Ruth Ann begins taking it apart]

Kayla: You can't do that in the store!

[Ruth Ann stops]

Anne: [lays on a third bed] It's a pretty simple bed, I like it.

Italy: Yeah, but it's a double bed, you can only have a single or twin bed.

Anne: Oh. That's a shame.

[Polly and Molly walk by]

Polly: Ugh, look at those girls!

Molly: They're buying a *bed*?! Lame!

Anne: Well, I'm new to this school!

Molly: Whatevs!

Anne: Oh! Look at this bed! [points to a fourth bed]

Kayla: Ooh. Funky.

Emiliana: Hon, I can't afford that.

Ruth Ann: I always bring money with me.

Italy: I have some money too!

Emiliana: So, you want to fund it together?

Ruth Ann and Italy: **Yes!**

[back at the dorm, in Anne's room with her bed set up]

Anne: [laying on her bed] I do love you, girls.

Emiliana: So, school is letting you attend. You start tomorrow! And you're in our class!

Anne: That's nice.

Oona: The third of September. Do you want me to help pack your bag? Of course, this is going off *my* timetable.

Italy: She's a cool person. Are those your pronouns?

Anne: Yes. I'm a girl.

Italy: I try to be nice to people.

Oona: Speaking of being nice, let’s pack your bag.

[Italy and Oona help Anne pack her bag]

Anne: You know - sorry to put a downer on things, you've given me more help than my parents have!

Italy: Oh no.

Anne: They treated me like their personal assistant, not their daughter. And we already had a maid!

Italy: My parents treated me poorly too. But I live with my aunt in Kanekberg now.

Anne: I was sailing away from there but I got stuck underwater. And mermaids helped me.

Oona: So mermaids exist? The science teacher was talking trash!

Anne: Yes! But then I got washed up on this beach. I love you, girls. Thanks for helping me find a place where I belong.

[in the morning]
[Italy's alarm clock goes off, waking both girls up]

Italy: Just five more minutes…

Anne: Italy, it's the first day of school. You can't press the snooze button on the first day!

Italy: Macaroni.

Anne: Wake up, Italy, there’s no macaroni!

Italy: [stretches and yawns] Good morning, Anne! Are you excited for your first day of school? We have French first thing.

Anne: Ooh! J'aime français!

Italy: Yeah, whatever.

Mara: [opens the door] Girls, we have our farm-to-fork breakfast cereal ready! It's organic!

[Anne and Italy leave their rooms]

Anne: Where's Emiliana?!

Ruth Ann: She's in the bathroom that ISN'T communal.

Kayla: Yeah. She refuses to leave without a bath. And only a bath, not a shower. Even when we’re running late, she insists on a bath.

So come on, let's go
Let's get out of here, oh-woah
Wherever you go I'll be here by your side
I should be the one who shares your life
I should be, I should be, I should be, I should be
I should be, I should be, I should be, I should be
I should be, I should be, I should be, I should be
I should be, I should be, I should be, I should be
