1.15: Lina’s Secret
Elsewhere on Kelley Avenue (namely in Harold’s room)….

Sharice: I think I’m going to start looking for my own place.
Harold: Well that would certainly make certain things more convenient.
Sharice: My little sister and Robby will be there, so I’m afraid your dreams of having a place for your own personal harem will have to be delayed.
Harold: Damn, guess I’ll have to start searching for another girlfriend with her own place.
(they laugh)
Sharice: Seriously, I have to get out that house. I love Mrs. Carr and Francisco and it’s nice they want me to stay and all, but I feel like a burden. And I need a fresh start in someplace new. I don’t think Francisco’s going get that. He’s so protective of me and the closer I am, the safer he feels, which may not make much–

Harold: You know, the guy has a girlfriend of his own, I wish he would lay off mine.
Sharice: He’s my–
Harold: Best friend, I know. I have friends to you know. And when it comes to friends of the opposite sex, Lina Gaby Fletcher is at the top of my list. I look out for her and she looks out for me. We can talk about things. She’s always been one of the coolest girls I’ve ever known. But we ain’t on each other’s back all the time.
Sharice: Francisco and I are different, okay. We just have this really… intense friendship.
Harold: Yeah, well it seems like he’s the one you really want to be with. Like there’s this special spot in your heart that no one else can touch except him.

Sharice: You want my heart Harold, I thought you just wanted my body.
Harold: Don’t kid me now, okay?
Sharice: What do you want from me?
Harold: The same respect you give him. I never thought I would say this, but I don’t want to be just this. Some fun distraction.
