Alice Dainard : So how am I supposed to be a zombie?
Joe Lamb : Oh, um... Pretty much be a lifeless ghoul, with no soul. Dead eyes. Scary. Did you ever have Mrs. Mullin?
Alice Dainard : For English? Yeah.
Joe Lamb : Yeah. Kind of like her, but hungry for human flesh. Like she wants to turn somebody into a zombie. 'Cause that's kind of what zombies do.
[Alice practices being a zombie. Soft music playing]
Joe Lamb : Oh, my God, yeah. Thats really good.
[Alice slowly approaches Joe. She reaches out for him, clasps his neck and gives him a kiss on the neck and laughs]
Joe Lamb : Not bad.
Alice Dainard : Really?
Joe Lamb : Really.
[Joe's eyes widen unsure what to think of what just happened. Charles notices the kiss...]
