Take Yuki's part first, then Arjun's. Yuki is polite but a little teasing; Arjun moves from confused to embarrassed to happy. Copy the slow, uncertain "Statistics..." and the sudden energy of "Wait. The girl with the green calculator?"

  1. YukiExcuse me, sorry. You look really familiar. Were you at Westbrook College, by any chance?
  2. ArjunI was, yes. Around ten years ago. Sorry, remind me of your name?
  3. YukiYuki. Yuki Tanaka. We had statistics together, the early class.
  4. ArjunStatistics... that does ring a bell. Sorry, I'm terrible with faces.
  5. YukiThat's fine. You sat in the back and always forgot your calculator.
  6. ArjunOkay, that definitely sounds like me.
  7. YukiI lent you mine for the final exam. You promised to buy me coffee.
  8. ArjunWait. The girl with the green calculator? That was you?
  9. YukiThat was me. I'm still waiting for that coffee, by the way.
  10. ArjunI'm so embarrassed. I think I owe you ten years of interest.
  11. YukiSo where are you flying today? Home or work?
  12. ArjunWork. A conference in Vancouver. You?
  13. YukiSame flight, I think. Gate twelve, the eight-fifteen?
  14. ArjunThat's the one. Look, there's a café right behind us.
  15. YukiAre you finally paying your debt?
  16. ArjunWith a muffin, too. We go way back, after all.
