While Kelly is in her class Managing Stamina 301, Dale has returned home. When he arrives, the first he sees is Lauri playing Gnubb alone in the backyard.

He came over right away to welcome her into the dorm and asked her if she had settled in. Lori replied yes, thanked him, told him she had already unpacked and that the room was quite nice and comfortable.

Dale cares very much that his two roomies get along, so he proceeds to ask Lauri her opinion of Sarah. (Also, he’s sure Sarah would be very interested to know).
Dale: I guess you’ve already met Sarah, our other roomie.
Lauri: Yeah well, I greeted her from afar, she seemed busy with her computer, studying I assume. She seems like a smart and nice girl.
Dale: She is, and I know once you get to know each other better, the two of you will get along great.
Lauri: I hope so. I also hope that you and I can get to know each other better…

Dale: Ahem, yeah well, I hope we can all get along well, including my girlfriend, Kelly. She’s in class right now, but she’ll be back any minute so you can get to meet her.
Lauri: Hm, that’s true, you have a girlfriend… Kelly Randall, she’s studying Physical Education, and she’s a model, right?
Dale: Yes, she’s progressing very fast in her career, she’s a magazine model now.
Lauri: Have you been together long?
Dale: Quite a while, yes.

Lauri: I see. Are you guys… engaged?
Dale: Not exactly, because we’re not thinking about marriage yet. We both want to succeed in our respective careers first, but our relationship is official, yes.
Lauri: …
Dale: Anyway, I hope you and Kelly get along as well as she and Sarah.

Dale: It wouldn’t have to be otherwise, would it? He, he. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go inside to start preparing dinner.
Lauri: Wow, so apart from being a business genius, you also know how to cook.
Dale: Well, this ‘business genius’ thing remains to be seen. As for the cooking…
Lauri: Don’t be modest, Dale, your business projects are already famous throughout the entire faculty. ‘As for the cooking’, there aren’t many guys who are willing to cook, much less for three girls. Kelly is very lucky, you know? She found a boyfriend who’s not only smart and great looking, but also very caring.

Dale: (Blushing). Thanks, I guess.
Lauri: (Quickly getting back to her game). You’re welcome. Forgive my frankness, but that’s what I think.
Dale: That’s – okay. Well, like I said, I should go inside, it was nice to see you, Lauri.
Lauri: Wait. Do you play Gnubb?
Dale: I’ve played it sometimes, I’m not an expert, but…
Lauri: Shall we play a match?
Dale: Lauri, I…
Lauri: Come on, it’ll be fun, besides, it’s still early for dinner…
