Marx: Hey there, Ritsuko.
Ritsuko: Oh, good day, Marx. Do you need something?
Marx: No. Nah. I just.....wanted to greet you "happy Birthday" again. That's all.
Ritsuko: Oh, is that so. Well, thanks.
Marx: Okay then....I'm off.
Ritsuko: Marx, w-wait!
Marx: (quick pause) Ah...Y-yes?
Ritsuko: (with a slightly softer voice) I wanted to ask you about your plans, Marx. What are you up to?
Marx: (shocked) Wait. You're asking me if I'm available tonight?
Ritsuko: W-What!? No! (displeased) You misunderstood me.
Marx: (relieved) Oh....Hehehe. Sorry about that.
Ritsuko: (returns to normal) But seriously, what are you doing lately? You don't seem to be on recently.
Marx: Sorry, I'm just busy lately. (silence)..........I guess I'll be going now. (turns around)
Ritsuko: Marx, wait....!
Marx: ...Ye-(gets hugged from behind)....Uh!
Ritsuko: Thanks again for the greetings. And everything. (smiles)
Marx: ....Yeah. Sure. (heart racing)
