A few minutes later…

Dale: Was that Dina again?
Sarah: Yes.
Kelly: Is she okay?
Sarah: Uh, yeah, she’s just not going to come to work anymore.
Kelly: Because of Lauri?

Sarah: No, it’s just that the time she spent with me encouraged her to apply for a scholarship and she’s going to enroll in the University next term.
Lauri: That’s great for her, isn’t it?
Sarah: Yeah, she needs to prepare for the aptitude test, so she’s quit cleaning for good.
Dale: Sarah Parker, the new good influence for college girls.
Sarah: Nah, I just showed her a new video game.

Kelly: Well, kudos to Dina, but I’m out of help now, so volunteers are welcome to do the dishes.
Dale: I’d be happy to help, but I have to study for my make-up exam.
Kelly: Make-up exam? You got one that fast?
Dale: Actually, I didn’t get anything, it was the teacher who gave me a chance, because of my good record.
Kelly: Oh, honey, that’s awesome!

Sarah: Wow, the gods are definitely on your side, Cho.
Kelly: Not the gods, his hard work and his talent.
Lauri: I agree, congrats, Dale. And don’t worry about the dishes, Sarah and I will take care.
Sarah: Speak for yourself. I haven’t finished eating.

While Lauri does the dishes, and Kelly goes to change clothes…
Dale: So, you accepted to work with Terry.
Sarah: Yeah, Lucky Palms attracts me like a magnet. And the pay isn’t half bad either.

Dale: And I assume nothing I tell you will stop you from going.
Sarah: Yep, that’s right.
Dale: Well, it’s your life, I just hope you don’t drag Lauri with you.

Sarah: Oh, no one’s dragging anyone, Lauri’s a grown up, following me to Lucky Palms or not is entirely her call.
Kelly has returned just in time to jump into the conversation.

Kelly: Actually, I think you should take Lauri with you, she might find something interesting to do there.
Dale: Kel, please don’t give her any ideas.

Kelly: No, seriously, Lucky Palms could be fun for both of her; maybe she’ll find her dreams or the love of her life there…
Sarah: (Scoffs) Yeah, sure.
Dale: Nope. Not a good idea, neither for Lauri, nor for you, Sarah.

Dale: I mean, I love my brother, but his business model is not recommended for you. I sincerely hope you think better of it and decide to stay in Hidden Springs. Or you can come to Bridgeport with us if you’re up for it.
Sarah: Bridgeport? Why, are you offering us a job there?
Kelly: (Startled) Dale…

Dale: Why not? If you’re interested in bars, that is.
Kelly: Er, I wouldn’t recommend that ‘business model’ to them either.

Kelly: Excuse me, but I don’t think bars are your thing. A Casino on the other hand could turn out to be much more fun for you.
Sarah: Relax, girl, you don’t have to persuade me. I’ve already decided to go to Lucky Palms.

Sarah: It’s true, bars aren’t really my thing, I mean, I don’t even drink. So, I guess I’ll stick with Terry the Terrible.

Sarah: Lauri might be interested in Bridgeport, though. It will suit her best. There are museums, libraries, parks, there’s an art scene too.

Sarah: Yeah, I’ll have to ask her if she prefers to go there.
Kelly: Don’t even think about it.
Sarah: I remind you it wasn’t my idea but Cho’s. Also, Lauri’s in the kitchen, she must know about his offer now.

As a matter of fact, Lauri did hear everything from the kitchen. Kelly can bet right now she’s seriously considering moving to Bridgeport with them after graduation.
Kelly: Hell, no.

Luckily for her, such thing can’t happen, since Sarah and Lauri won’t be graduating with her and Dale. It’ll take them another whole term to leave college. Time enough to convince Dale that it’s not a good idea to invite Lauri to come with them.

Or… she could talk to her right now to make sure she won’t take Dale at his word.
