John: (nodding) 'And to think, I almost missed out on all of this because I was too busy staring at my phone.'

Emily: (grinning) 'Who knew being a hippie could be so much fun?'

Tom: (laughing) 'Yeah, I guess there's more to life than just sports.'

Jane: (smiling) 'And more to art than just sitting in a studio.'

Mike: (encouragingly) 'And more to learning than just textbooks.'
