Goodnight, sweetheart.
- Come on.
So anyway.

use more tongue next time,
if she wants that to work.
Especially on Derek.
- Really?
- Did you?
- No, 'cause dad came home,
and we had to go downstairs
and pretend nothing
was happening.
Didn't we, Amber?
- That's full on, hey?
- Not really.
What do you normally do?
- What?
- More tongue, or less?
- Me?
It depends, I guess.
- Really?
On what?
- Whether I feel like it
or not.
- Hey, I can't remember.
the guys later this week?
- I think so.
- Ooh, we should.
You should come too.
I could introduce you to Derek
if you feel like it.
Or not.
- Awesome, that,
that sounds awesome.
I'm not feeling so great.
- Have you got your period?
- Yeah, I've just, I've
gotta find a toilet.
- What about that one?
- Hey, Elliott!
- Hey.
They totally put me on the spot.
- That's cool, I get it.
- If you're still interested,
did you want to hang out?
- Oh, crap!
I hate those dogs.
That's where the triplets live.
They always do that.
- So did you wanna hang out?
- Are you kidding?
- I think my place
is down this way.
- That's so funny.
You don't even know
where you live!
- Greta?
Is that you?
- Mum, this is Elliott.
Elliott, this is mum.
- Hello there, Elliott.
- Hello,
Mrs. Driscoll.
I love your house.
It's gorgeous.
- Well thank you, Elliott.
That's, that's
lovely of you to say.
- Holy crap balls!
Is that you?
You're so cute!
Oh.
- Come on.

- Whoa!
You've got plastic horses?
- Yeah.
- I can't believe it.
I love plastic horses.
- Really?
- They're like almost the
best thing in the world.
I've got plastic pigs at home.
- Really?
- Did you make these?
- Yeah.
- How do you do that?
Those folds are so
freaking little.
- See these?
They're from my
penpal in Finland.
- Finland?
Oh my god, that is
so freaking exotic.
- I know.
We've been writing to
each other for ages.
Her name's Greta too.
We love calling
each other Greta.
- Oh, hello Greta!
- Oh yes, hi Greta.
- How are you today, Greta?
- I'll read you one.
"Dearest Greta,
"how are you in the
land of sunshine, Greta?
"Better, Greta, than freezing
in the winter of Helsinki.
"I wish I was there, Greta."
- Oh my god, she is so awesome.
- I told you.
- Keep going.
- Oh.
"I've sent you a copy
of my favorite picture.
"It's a Huldra,
"a wild warrior girl who lives
amongst the trees in Finland
"and can never be tamed.
"If you meet one walking in
the woods, you must be careful,
"for if you are mean to her,
"she will punish you with
her leather fist of fury."
- Whoa, hot.
- Can I show you one more thing?
- Yeah!
- My mum gave it to me
on my fifth birthday.
It was hers when she was little.
Ah, be careful.
It's really old.
You don't want to
get a splinter.
I used to imagine that it
was from a faraway realm.
- Cool.
- A realm where
anything could happen.
Filled with mystical creatures
and stuffed with
untold treasures.
- Whoa, sounds like the Vatican.
- And that the magic
inside this tune
from the dangers that lurked
beyond its borders,
hidden in the shadows.
It's my most favorite
thing in the world.
That was a long time ago.
I was just a kid back then.
- Lucky you're not
a kid anymore, hey?
No, seriously, your
room is so awesome.
It's easy with you, Greta.
idiots in our year?
I'm glad you're my friend.
- Yeah, me too, Elliott.
Me too.
- You kids all right in here?
- We're doing great,
thanks, Mrs. Driscoll.
- Wonderful, that's
just wonderful.
You should stay
for tea, Elliott.
I'm making Chinese.
- Really?
I love Chinese.
- What?
- This is an excellent beef
and black bean
sauce, Mrs. Driscoll.
What cut did you use?
- Um, Chuck, I think.
- Chuck, delicious.
- How do you like
your school, Elliott?
- It's not too bad when
you get the hang of it.
- That's wonderful.
How do you think Greta will go?
- Mum.
- She'll blitz it, no question.
- Greta's had her fair share
Elliott.
That's why we're asking.
- Really?
With like older kids?
