Take Sofia's part first, then Kenji's. Sofia is polite but a little teasing; Kenji 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. SofiaExcuse me, sorry. You look really familiar. Were you at Westbrook College, by any chance?
  2. KenjiI was, yes. Around ten years ago. Sorry, remind me of your name?
  3. SofiaSofia. Sofia Garcia. We had statistics together, the early class.
  4. KenjiStatistics... that does ring a bell. Sorry, I'm terrible with faces.
  5. SofiaThat's fine. You sat in the back and always forgot your calculator.
  6. KenjiOkay, that definitely sounds like me.
  7. SofiaI lent you mine for the final exam. You promised to buy me coffee.
  8. KenjiWait. The girl with the green calculator? That was you?
  9. SofiaThat was me. I'm still waiting for that coffee, by the way.
  10. KenjiI'm so embarrassed. I think I owe you ten years of interest.
  11. SofiaSo where are you flying today? Home or work?
  12. KenjiWork. A conference in Vancouver. You?
  13. SofiaSame flight, I think. Gate twelve, the eight-fifteen?
  14. KenjiThat's the one. Look, there's a café right behind us.
  15. SofiaAre you finally paying your debt?
  16. KenjiWith a muffin, too. We go way back, after all.
