LAWRENCE:

ADELAIDE:
It’s so strange to be in a place where everyone knows my name but I don’t know theirs.

Panel 3 [Shot behind the two of them as they stand at the bulwarks. Adelaide holds out her hand to shake and Lawrence reaches for it apprehensively]

ADELAIDE:

LAWRENCE:
Lawrence Manner.

Panel 4 [Close up of Adelaide’s hand in Lawrence’s. Adelaide’s voice comes off camera.]

ADELAIDE:

Panel 5 [Adelaide pulls her hand away. Lawrence turns back to lean against the railing again, laughing slightly, embarrassed and rubbing the back of his neck with one hand]

ADELAIDE:

LAWRENCE:

Panel 6 [Adelaide looks amused, leaning on the railing as well.]

ADELAIDE:
Even the farm boys had some callouses.
