Panel 5:
Girl goes for a walk, book tucked under her arm.

A sign is shown of a hospital.
Panel 7:
Girl reads book to a group of children, who look in rapture. An older man, a doctor, is looking through the door at the Girl reading.
Panel 7:

Panel 8:
The Girl, who is reading to the kids, looks at the Old Man and smiles.

I was lucky to see her two weeks ago in Melbourne in one of the last shows here. And she was amazing.
I'm crying because I desperately, desperately, desperately wanted to see her and Lucy one last time in Wicked. I tried the lottery a few times and had bad luck and then the PhD/Book just overwhelmed me and I could never spare an afternoon to get into town. Grrrr. If they're both playing Sydney there's a chance I'll go all the way up there to see it. Honestly though, the pair of them are just magical!
When Dave ends up in the Spotlight diner, Kurt is a little taken back. He hasn't seen Dave since that day in the hospital. They emailed a few times, letting him know his progress at his new school out of state and his new therapy.
And he looks good. Looks like he might have lost ten pounds or so and just grown up a lot more in the two years.
"Dave, wow," says Kurt.
"I heard you worked here," says Dave with a smile. "A friend at NYU was talking about this place and it sounded like your sort of place. I checked Facebook and well. I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all," says Kurt. "I'm taking a five!" he calls and sits down across from Dave. "How are you?"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm pre-Law. I want to help kids like me one day, I think," says Dave. "Not sure exactly how yet. But you know."
"That's amazing."
"And I'm completely out of the closet," says Dave. "Even had a boyfriend last year."
"Dave, that's awesome," says Kurt.
"And I saw on Facebook that you're engaged," says Dave, face bright. "That short kid?"
Kurt laughs and rolls his eyes. "Yeah, Blaine. We had some rough times but...I really love him."
"That's really great," says Dave. "I mean, the guy I dated last year was nice. But nothing like that love stuff, I guess."
"You'll meet the right guy one day," says Kurt.
"Kurt!"
Elliot walks up to the table with a wide smile and suddenly, Kurt has an idea.
"Elliot, hey, say hi to an old high school friend," says Kurt, standing. "Dave. Dave, this is Elliot. He's in my band."
"Hi," says Dave and yeah, he's definitely interested.
Elliot doesn't look uninterested either. He smiles, almost shyly. Kurt wasn't exactly sure...Elliot is pansexual, so Kurt is never sure who he should set him up with. But it looks like sparks are already flying.
"I have to get back to work," says Kurt. "But Dave, I'm off in like an hour. Do you want to come to dinner with Blaine and I, maybe? Elliot - you should come too!"
"Yeah," says Elliot, sitting across from Dave with a smile, his eyes never leaving Dave's face. "Sounds great."
"Totally," says Dave.
Kurt walks away, barely stopping himself from cheering.
ladyamphy replied to your post: So what do you think about Tony Abbott's new cabinet? Awesome, right?? No minister for higher education or science! No mention of climate change, disability care, mental health... no people of colour and only one woman! Yay.
My dad explained the Anzac Day ministry is cause if the 100 year anniversary and organising the whole event… Hopefully that us part of a joint ministry and not just one person with a lot of spare time
I absolutely do not want to throw shade on ANZAC Day and everything it means because it means a lot. However I think have a front bench government presence and organization for things like Science, Homelessness and Disability is far, far, far more important than have it for ANZAC Day. Something like Science plays a part in the health and wellbeing of all Australians, it plays a huge part in Australian industry, it plays a huge part in, you know, the world not falling apart. And it's just not a thing, we as Australians, do anymore. I'm kind of livid, kind of meh. But yeah, I get ANZAC Day and the 100 year anniversary and if Abbott wants to organise it well and spend money/time on that, well I support that, but the decision to just cut science, etc. It's bad.
ladyamphy replied to your post: Winners!! Pretty tight match....
Waiting for my brother and dad to get home from the match. Not looking forward to the sad faces
Poor Richmond. Honestly, they looked like they had it in the bag at half time and I was sitting there miserable because I couldn't handle the mocking and the fact it looked like we might lose by more than eight goals. And then Judd happened. But, I mean, good game, crowd was okay around where I was, it's not like either Carlton or Richmond are gonna be able to beat Geelong or Hawthorn so... but yeah, dealing with the misery is hard... particularly since I wanna be happy and shit!

Women and Gays first…. Wishing Palmers Titanic was here already for a luxury getaway
Excuse you, scientists and academic researchers first. From now on you won't get funding unless you can cure dementia within twenty five minutes and funding distribution will be decided by our newly uninformed, religious government, not by peer review. Stem cell research is done. IVF research is done. I wouldn't be surprised is a whole corner of genetic evolution research is quietly swept away. Fundamental science research is done. Any sort of thinking at an academic level that is 'artsy' is done.
40% of our population need Bachelors degrees but none of them need to be smart.
We need to subsidise, heavily, the automotive industry (because places like China can make cars for a fraction of the cost because of wages) while ignoring the fact that pharmaceuticals brings in more than twice the export money. What's more, the only way to beat countries that pay their workers like slaves is to be smarter, to do things they can't do, and that requires science and R&D.
And the homosexuals need to calm down and stay indoors because they make our fearless, forward-thinking leader uncomfortable.
And women who are prepared to take a test and prove their virginity will be given tax exemptions to congratulate them on keeping their gift safe and precious.
And women should just really make more sandwiches because they'll never be on equal footing with men because they're just not capable.
And turn the boat people back because they're the worst.
And oh my god, I'm not pleased about this.
If you're a gay, woman scientist who has lots of sex and wants to be as good at shit as the men...

My parents were in London in July and saw Matilda, cause I love the book and my brother is a fan of Tim minchin, and they said it was brilliant. To bad Melbourne won’t get it till the end of 2015
Yeah that is way, way too long for me to wait. I usually just get my tickets from tkts with the exception of Wicked which I box office for front row, but Matilda and Book of Mormon still aren't available through tkts because they're all popular so might have to cough up full price and plan ahead. Totally worth it I reckon.
