Breathe In

---

Do you guys want to do it over there?

Do you wanna...

My representation is that we move over here...

Okay.

Can we do it or not?

No, not at the corner over there.

The way the sun is right now, will be really great.

I mean, is there a way we

could face this direction...

Do you have anything particular in

mind that you want to do this year?

Don't ask me.

Don't ask you, huh.

Scott, you don't see the swing set, do you?

Do you see the swing set at all?

I don't want that, in front, at all.

The swing, not at all.

That doesn't look like a life, kid, how about it?...

Hey again, do you want to do the job, anyone?

You're not gonna get the flash

in Keith's eye glasses are you?

No... actually...

I like when you're comfortable in that...

that's such a great shot.

- I hate you.

- All right.

- Tell you what. Be comfortable, now.

- Because you're a natural.

Hi!

- What are you doing?

- Really boring work.

Do you feel like making us lunch instead?

- What do you want?

- Um, tuna rolls.

We will right outside, near the arrival,

right after she come through passports changed.

Ok . Yeah.

Yes, we have a piano.

She gonna plays piano.

Okay, great.

Okay, alright, bye-bye.

- She's actually coming?

- Yes, she's actually coming.

Coming in a couple of days.

And the school is week after next, so...

should be here, ready to go, get everything in place.

How to settle in, should be enough time.

You know I've got my audition coming up, right.

You'll be fine?

I know my audition, I've got to practice.

You can still practice.

She's not going to disturb you.

You can stay up in your room and

practice, you can practice at school,

or you can practice out in the garage,

most of the places you can practice.

It's not about...

Look, it's going to be great.

And we're gonna be very welcoming and kind.

Are you going to be the

one babysitting or anything....

You're not babysitting her, she's not a child.

She's actually older than you by a couple of months.

She is 18 already.

It's a wonderful program.

I am not gonna want to go away

from my final semester in high school.

And Seebecks have a really

wonderful student they got from France.

He's from Paris.

I'm just worried about the

stresses you have in your life,

having to drive all of us around.

There's no stress in my life.

I like driving everybody.

Well, maybe I should... get a car.

I mean... she can stay in my room.

We got to get another car.

We have a car.

We have a nice Jeep.

Did any of you just sent out,

like a, an email for this letter.

This shows...

that we care.

- You got anything better than that?

- No.

I mean, if I got into Stanford or Berkeley,

and especially if the offer is better...

Yeah, exactly.

Obviously I will work really, really hard.

And achieve swimming excellence.

Gosh. I'm getting very nervous now!

- Just relax.

- Stop it.

It's always getting over me.

Stop. That's going over.

Yeah, that is okay.

Look at that.

Precision and skill.

Good.

Quack, quack.

You wanna clean all this up too before she comes?

Yeah. I was going to.

Hold on tight.

Ok... alright.

Now what about all this?

I am going to do it later.

No no... let's do it now.

- Looks good.

- Thanks for sharing your room.

This is your flight?

Oh yes, Sophie!

Hi!

Sophie.

- Hello!

- Welcome.

- How are you?

- I'm great. How are you feeling?

This is Keith.

Hi.

I 'm Sophie.

- How was the flight?

- Good, thank you.

Very good.

Wow...

Okay.

- How are you?

- Good, good!

Have you been to Manhattan before?

No, I haven't.

- You've never been to New York, right?

- Never.

- How far are we from New York?

- By car, we need about an hour and a half.

Keith goes in.

Just have snow... right?

Yeah. I'm the fastest.

Here Keith's your piano teacher.

- Oh, for the class.

- Yeah.

Keith teaches piano and then other than teaching

he has a hobby with the Symphony.

- He plays with them...

- It's not a hobby.

What do you call it?

A part-time job?

Yes, part-time job.

Part-time job...

- What's your instrument?

- I play cello.

But I sub for... the NYNSO.

But if I'm auditioning so...

there is a chair that is supposedly bringing up soon.

So would you give up teaching?

Yeah..

Nooo...

Welcome!

This is it!

It's a little stuffy in here.

Come on in.

I'll give you a little tour.

Okay.

This is a

sitting room... and oh, this is for you.

- A treat.

- Thank you.

This is a little guide, Sophie's guide.

Just a little, you know information, coffee shop.

It's a map. Oh, this is the school.

This is the map of the school.

All right, when school starts,

I'll pick everybody up.

There's the family, now.

And I collect cookie jars,

and there are ones that I sell.

- Oh yeah...

- I find a lot of them online now.

This is the only one in service.

The rest are empty.

Hey, don't tell Keith and Laurie, they don't know.

Thank you.

It's my secret stash.

Would you like any lemonade or honey?

- No thank you.

- You sure? How's the jet lag?

It's fine.

Ok...

- Hi!

- Hi!

- How are you?

- Okay thanks, how are you?

- Good, I'm Lauren.

- I'm Sophie.

Nice to meet you.

- How was your flight?

- Yah, it was very easy.

So where are you from?

Are you from London?

I live in Barkshire.

- So do you go into London a lot?

- Yup. Yeah.

- Is it a cool city?

- It 's lovely.

I've never been.

So you're excited to be here for ...?

Yeah! I guess. So much...

Yeah, I've been wanting to come

out to... be in the States for ages.

I've just been trying to think

about what I want to do and...

I guess I don't really know yet.

Yeah...

Um, do you do any sports?

Nope...

Well, I can swim, but not like you.

Yeah...

Oh, Keith play the guitar, he was in a band.

The Unconscious Brothers.

- It's a brass band.

- It's a great name.

- We got out of the garage.

- We got out of the garage but...

I don't play with the Unconscious Brothers any more.

That would be...

I haven't quite decide yet...

Anyway, in a couple of days we're

having one of the cookie jar expos.

I have two more boxes that are supposed to be coming.

Two more cookie jars or boxes of cookie jars?

Two more boxes of cookie jars.

How many cookie jars are there in total?

No, there's only seven.

But anyway it's going to be

really busy... with this one.

So when you're free you just

roam around and you know...

Okay.

Do you know what pieces

you're going to audition with?

Huh?

Sorry...

- Don't want to disturb you.

- No, it's ok. I'm just taking a break.

So do you get nervous?

With what?

- Before the audition.

- No.

I mean...

No, not really.

You play long enough, it doesn't affect you.

Apparently Lawrence Olivier used

to vomit before every performance.

Lawrence Olivier...

Who told you that?

Can't remember. But I guess the point is,

even the best of the best get nervous.

Good night.

Good night!

- Hi!

- Hey! How are you. Nice to see you.

Good.

- Exchange student?

- Oh, yes.

- This is Sophie.

- Sophie!
