The orange sweater

Take Daniel's part first, then Mei's. Daniel is too careful at the start; listen for the pause in "It's very... warm." Mei is cheerful, then suddenly calm and a little sly. Copy her flat "So basically everything."

1. MeiYou're wearing the sweater. I knew you liked it.
2. DanielOf course. It's very... warm. And very orange.
3. MeiIt took me two months. I'm so glad you love it.
4. DanielI really appreciate it. Nobody's ever made me clothes before.
5. MeiGood, because I'm making a matching hat. You can wear both to my parents' dinner.
6. DanielTo your parents' dinner? Next Saturday? With your whole family?
7. MeiEveryone will see how talented I am. And how handsome you look.
8. DanielMei, can I say something? And please don't be upset.
9. MeiThat sounds serious.
10. DanielI don't love the sweater. I told a white lie. I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
11. MeiHmm. What don't you love about it?
12. DanielThe color. And one sleeve is longer than the other. And it itches a lot.
13. MeiSo basically everything.
14. DanielI love that you made it. I just don't love wearing it.
15. MeiOkay. I'm glad you came clean. Because I have a confession too.
16. DanielWhat confession?
17. MeiThe sweater was a test. I made it ugly on purpose. The real gift is in the closet.
18. DanielYou're joking. Two months for a test?
19. MeiTwo weeks, actually. That was a white lie too.
