Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:25 Explanations: 3:34 Fast dialogue: 17:06 Khaled: Hi, what are you looking at? Susanna: Your photo albums. Your roommate let me in and said I could make myself comfortable while I waited for you. Khaled: There are some really incriminating pictures in there. You’d better give those back to me. Susanna: Not yet! I’m looking at your baby pictures and your family portraits. You’re the spitting image of your mother. Khaled: That’s not my mother. That was our neighbor. Susanna: Oh, now that I look a little closer, I can see that you resemble your father. You’re a chip off the old block. Khaled: That’s not my father. That’s my father’s friend. Now, why don’t I take those... Susanna: Wait! These candids of your birthday parties are so cute! You were so adorable! Khaled: Right. When I was a kid, I had a face only a mother could love. Susanna: That’s not true! You have a great profile. I’d expect to see your likeness in paintings and on statues. Khaled: Okay, enough with the brown-nosing. What do you really want? Susanna: I don’t want anything...okay, just one little thing. My cousin is in town. I want to go out with Rick tonight and I thought we could double date. Me, Rick, my cousin...and you. What do you say? Khaled: I knew it had to be something. Does she look like you? Susanna: We are like two peas in a pod. Khaled: Then, forget it! Susanna: Hmph! Khaled: Just kidding. What time will we be going? Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
