Move in.

I got it, I got the elevator button. Wait! They have to come out first. Fifth floor.

Move in.

Ok just.. just put it down over there please. No, no not there, over there by my bed.

Move in.

Mom, please stop, I don't want that over there. Go, shoo.

Move in.

Alright, I think that's all, thanks guys. Bye mom, bye dad, love you guys. Bye babe, I love you and drive safe!

Move in.

My room is cold and my blankets.. are.. somewhere.

Move in.
