She goes to open the door, but she sees Mr. Armstrong with Liberty, very close to her and hugging her. The camera shows them and then a close-up of Emma watching, very scared or something.)

When she does, she looks over at Liberty.) Outside (Emma and JT are sitting at a table, eating. Emma is looking at Mr. Armstrong who is helping Sean with basketball.) JT: Don't you think you're being a bit obvious? Emma: About what? JT: Sean. If you stare any harder, your eyeballs will pop out. Emma: JT, what do you think of Armstrong? I mean, as a person? JT: Teachers aren't people, they're... teachers. Emma: You know what I mean. Do you think he's...ok? JT: Oh, yeah. Armstrong's given
