TIA:

... Ya know Jesse came home from Los Angeles ..

ESMODONTI:

And ya kissed and made up?

TIA:

Well, I just know he knew that girl Cyndy but, while he was away,

he kept calling to tell me how much he missed me and ...

ESMODONTI:

He charmed his way back to ya - huh?

TIA:

Well, he is Jesse ...

GRACE:

Aren't you going to the big meeting? It’s my job to make sure

everyone gets there on time, yes it is. A-m said so.

TIA:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Is that now?

GRACE:

Didn’t I just say so? It’s in the big living room.

I have to get all the others, yes I do. Don't be late.

Then …

Is everyone here?

GRACE:

Almost. I did my best, yes I did - but I couldn't find 

Karanthir and Zyfan and … Oh look here they come.

ZYFAN:

Greetings A-m. Are we late? Forgive us, 

we must have lost track of the time.

I’m sure you were otherwise occupied.

KARANTHIR:

And just what do you mean by that? Honestly A-m, the way 

you talk, one would think that all Zyfan and I ever do is …

FIN:

Hey, there are young ears present.

KARANTHIR:

I am well aware of that dear brother. Just what

did you think I was going to say?

JESSE:

California! But I was just there. Why the hell did 

you even bother to let me fly back here?

I didn’t think you wanted to spend all that time with your family.

JESSE:

Oh right! I’ll just shut my mouth. Thanks.

TIA:

This is great Jesse. I never liked living here anyway.

JESSE:

But this means we'll be closer to your dad and he hates me.

TIA:

Who cares? I don't listen to him anyway. I’m gonna start packing.

BRYNIE:

You mean we’re really leaving New York … for good?

It's a big change but you'll love it once we get settled.

GRACE:

... Cammeo can you help me pack, please?

CAMMEO:

Of course. Herita, give us a hand?

HERITA:

Are ya daft? Why would I want to 'elp the 

little nicker pack? I got me own stuff to sort.

CAMMEO:

You told me you’re here to spend time with me.

Isn’t this a perfect opportunity? But if 

you’ve other things to do ...

HERITA:

That’s a bit passive aggressive of ya, but if it makes ya 

feel better to keep me in yer sight, I'll ‘elp.

CAMMEO:

You don’t mind, Mez?

MEZ:

No.

ALESS:

This means we’ll be cl-closer to t-to daddy

 so we c-can see him more.

RACOLO:

I'm doing just fine without his help - thanks, but if you want 

to see him, go right ahead.

ALESS:

I’m g-going to tell d-d-daddy the g-good news.

RACOLO:

How do you feel about this?

ESMODONTI:

It’s cool. I guess I’ll hafta learn how to drive. 

LITHIUM:

Ya ya ya ya ...

ESMODONTI:

Not ya ya hon. Say da-da. 

FIN:

... You’ll make new friends Brynie. It’ll be OK, I promise.

BRYNIE:
I know, it’s just - I really like it here.

FIN:

We all do, and this will be a new adventure.

BRYNIE:

I know, but it’ll take some getting used to. 

ORRIE:

You gonna come too?

KARANTHIR:

I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

ORRIE:

Then it be OK.

IO:

Daprima, will the genie come to this new place too?

DAPRIMA:

Of course. You’re part of the family. And Io, I know you 

love to serve so I’ve come up with a job for you.

IO:

The genie will never leave his side.

DAPRIMA:

I knew I could count on you.

KARANTHIR:

You’ve awfully quiet.

ZYFAN:

It is a lot to assimilate. I so enjoy living here. You have shown 

me so much of this city. Will you not be sad to leave?

Syrrah and Vanni, I’d appreciate it if you would fly

out ahead of us to help get things in order.

VANNI:

We’re happy to help.

SYRRAH:

It will give me an opportunity to perform the blessing 

on our new home. Come Giovanni, we have much to do.

MEZ:

A-m, I was just thinking. You sure you want to do this?

I mean, leaving New York? I love it here.

You’re such a New Yorker Mez, right down to the accent.

MEZ:

I don’t have an accent.

You will when we get to San Francisco.

MEZ:

Right. What if I don’t like it there? You know, 

this is the first real home I ever had.

We’ll all be together and that's all that matters - right? Don’t tell me you’re going to get all angsty over this. 

MEZ:

I’m not angsty. Hey, do I really have a New York accent?

From one New Yorker to another, absolutely.

MEZ:

Yo Io, how ‘bout a hot dog?
