'I'm moving' he said.
'Where' asked Margot.

'Where is that' asked Margot.
'It's everywhere I will be after I walk for two weeks' said Mitchell. 'I have lived in the same place for a long time. It is time for me to go some place else.'
'No' said Margot, 'you have only lived next door for fifteen years.'
'Sixteen' said Mitchell.
'Fifteen, six, what's the difference' said Margot. 'I want you to stay next door forever.'
'I can't' said Mitchell. 'I do not want to go wake up in the same old bedroom and eat breakfast in the same old kitchen. Every room in my house is the some old room because I have been there too long. '
And you look at me and think 'same old face, same old tail, same old scale, same old walk, same old talk' said Margot.
'No' said Mitchell, 'I like your face, tail, scale, walk and talk.'
'I like you.'
'I like you too, said Mitchell. He walked to the door. 'I must pack' he said.
