Take Oliver's part first, then Grace's. They argue like old friends: quick, sure of themselves, never really angry. Copy the surprised drop in "Oh. That's my hand on the wheel." and the warm, slower last two lines.
- OliverDo you remember that trip to the Highlands? Our first year in Edinburgh?
- GraceHow could I forget? We spent six hours lost in the rain.
- OliverBecause you took the wrong exit at the roundabout.
- GraceMe? That's not how I remember it. You were driving.
- OliverNo, you drove. I had the map. I was the only one who could read it.
- GraceOliver, you held the map upside down for an hour.
- OliverThat never happened. I think you're mixing me up with someone else.
- GraceThen why do I have a photo of it? Hold on.
- OliverYou kept photos from twenty years ago on your phone?
- GraceI keep everything. Here. You, the map, the sheep. Look closely.
- OliverOkay, the map does look upside down. But who's behind the wheel?
- GraceOh. That's my hand on the wheel.
- OliverSo you were driving. Let me set the record straight, for everyone.
- GraceFine. I drove, and you navigated us into a field.
- OliverIt's all coming back to me now. The farmer with the tractor.
- GraceHe pulled us out and gave us tea. Best part of the whole trip.
- OliverShall we call it a draw, then?
- GraceA draw. But I'm keeping this photo forever.
