Pearl: WHAT?
LV: You heard me! Shhh. I'm at this new place and I don't want anyone to hear me.
Pearl: Why do you think that?
LV: I can't see my own reflection.
Pearl: (checks webcam) (laughing) Oh LV!
LV: It's not funny Pearl! You have to help me!
Pearl: (still laughing) Ok, LV, listen. First of all, you're not a vampire.
LV:

LV: I knew that.
Pearl: Hmm.
LV: (relieved) Thanks Pearl. You're such a good friend, you always know how to talk me down when I get nervous in a new place.
