Felicie:Let me help you!

Odette:Get out of here!

Felicie:You need me. I can clean. In fact,“Squeaky Clean” is my middle name. I’m young.My legs work. Yours don’t. Uh, it’s gonna feel so much easier with me helping.

Odette:Are you coming?

Felicie:Whoa! That’s a lot of stairs. Are you the caretaker?

Odette:Yes. And you can stay with me until you get on your feet, on one condition—no more questions.

Felicie:How long can I stay?
