Summary

Int. Gregory Bone’s Orphanage. Night

Written by Pep Mandarin

Pep: please don’t go o brother of mine

Pip: beloved sister, if it was up to me I would stay with you for eternity and a day, but that mean man Hardcastle has tricked me and I now serve him and his stupid cause

Pep: please take me with you!

Pip: no, I could not in good conscience put you in danger. I love you too much for a life of hardship

Pep cries and hugs her brother’s leg tightly, refusing to let go

Pip: now now little one, you don’t have to be sad, I shan’t be gone long! Why don’t you write me while I am away? We can both practice our penmanship and be the bestest of friends

Pep: R-really?

Pip: of course little one, what have I always said?

Pep: family is Important?

Pip: and?

Pep: we always stay together?

Pip: see you later Pep. may the weather for your tea party be a pleasant 24 degrees (Celsius)

Pep: not too hot, not too cold

Pip & Pep together: just right

Pip and Pep hug. Pop is jealous.
