and watching TV. Austin wakes up the next day and takes a peek out his window and
sees a beautiful sunny day and birds chirping)

his first step outside, simultaneously Mike arrives at Austin’s house)

A: I guess I could learn to like it out here.
M: Yes! Now you’re finally learning to live a real life instead of being shackled to your
television.
