Steven: *watching Bob's Burgers*
Emma: *hears knocking* I think Ken's back.
Steven: *gets up, and opens the door* Ken!! You're back!
Ken: Hey, guys! I made it back!
Steven: Great! I missed you!
Ken: I missed you too, Steven! *puts his suitcase down*
Steven: So, how did everything go down in West Virginia?
Ken: Ray's sister is very weak.
Steven: Oh dear.
Emma: I don't really care, to be honest.
Ken: Emma, watch your mouth!
Emma: I don't have to! I don't even know her, so why should I care?
Steven: Emma, she is ill! You should care! So what, if you don't know her? You should at least keep her in your thoughts!
Ken: Exactly!
Steven: So, what happens from here?
Ken: Not much to say, I guess. She isn't getting any better. The doctors are trying the best they can. All Ray can do is hope and pray.
Steven: Exactly. Do you really think you will have to take Ray to WV again, in case you know what may happen?
Ken: In all honesty, I might. As much as I hate to say it, she may be to taken to hospice care soon.
Steven: How would you know?
Ken: Ray would call me. This is a time that he has to be thinking of his sister. Again, as much as I hate to say it, she may not make it.
Steven: Yikes. It's like hearing a piano chord.
Ken: That's how serious it is. Now, I gotta unpack my suitcase, real quick. And, get some sleep. I'm exhausted from the ride. Thank God I made it back home, though.
Steven: That's right.
Emma: Pfft.
Steven: Huh?
Emma: Nothing.
