Jones St., Chapter 7: Pages 7-8

Panel 1: We move back to the same setting and layout as Panel 4 of the previous page, along with the same moving background of people passing them by as they speak. The lone difference is that both Melanie and the Customer are moving forward, albeit in mid-stride in terms of the shot.
MELANIE [confident, to Customer]: I'd be happy to help. Where is your daughter? CUSTOMER [pointing her out, to Melanie]: Right over there...
Panel 2: Cut to a shot of the Customer's daughter standing in front of a collection of laptops down and to the right of where the two of them were in the previous panel. We don't see much of the outfit she's wearing at the moment, though she's skinny and her red hair is styled in a fashionable sense.
Panel 3-4: A two-part set of panels that focuses on Ms. Haynes in the same type of close-up that the Customer had at the end of the previous page. In Panel 3, it consists of her in a brief moment of free thought in between the response she gives in Panel 4. It's here in Panel 4 that she comes back in the same business-like demeanor she displayed earlier.
MELANIE [thought bubble, Panel 3]: Please don't be a Mean Girl. Please don't be a Mean Girl. Please don't be a Mean Girl... MELANIE [speaking, Panel 4]: Okie dokie...
Panel 5: Cut to the aforementioned girl that we saw in Panel 2, looking over a stack of MacBooks. She's dressed in a comfortable black and blue tanktop and jeans. You can see a small crowd of people walking left and right and vice versa in the background behind her, along with some lights and the sides of signs that hang on the upper ceiling of the store.
MELANIE [Off-Panel]: Hey, umm...

Panel 1: Side shot of the young woman and Melanie meeting up in roughly the same setting we saw her in at the end of the previous page; the former in the left of the panel, and the latter to the right. You can see a section of the same customer traffic flow behind them at that point.

EMILY [to Melanie]: Emily. MELANIE [nod, to Emily]: Emily. Your mom said you were looking to get a new MacBook. EMILY [Bubble 2]: Yeah. I was thinking somewhere in the 13 inch range, like my old one had. MELANIE [Bubble 2]: Okay...
Panel 2-4: A three-part set of panels that follows the two of them walking past different MacBook laptops to the one Emily refers to which is visible in the middle of Panel 4, with the mother following just behind in each panel. In the foreground of each panel, you can see the backs of the laptops that are on display.
MELANIE [Cont., Panel 2]: What do you use your current laptop for? EMILY [Panel 2]: The usual- Netflix, essays for schools, art projects...Instagram. MELANIE [Panel 3]: Obviously, you'd want the new one to do all that without ... EMILY [Panel 3]: Mmm-hmm... EMILY [Cont., Panel 4]: Ooo, this one's perfect!
Panel 5: Cut to a frontal shot of the computer in question- a silver 13" MacBook Pro; its display screen visible for anyone to test and examine it. In the bottom right corner of the panel view, you can see the price tag ($1,499) along with a deep scribbling of the technical schematics undereath it.
