Take Eric's part first, then Rin's. Eric goes from excited to disappointed to curious. Rin is playful and honest. Copy her slow, careful "That's... very yellow," and her firm "Humor me."

  1. EricIt's here. My new jacket. I've been waiting two weeks for this.
  2. RinOpen it. Let's see the famous navy jacket.
  3. EricOkay. Here it is... Wait. That's not navy.
  4. RinNo. That's... very yellow. Like a banana.
  5. EricThey sent the wrong color. I ordered navy. I have the email.
  6. RinWell, you'll have to send it back.
  7. EricI leave for Toronto on Saturday. I bought it for the trip.
  8. RinCall them. Maybe they can send the navy one quickly.
  9. EricI'm checking the website now. Navy... out of stock. Until next month.
  10. RinOh. That's bad timing.
  11. EricAnd returns take three weeks. I'll be back from Toronto by then.
  12. RinTry it on. Humor me.
  13. EricFine. But only so you can laugh at me.
  14. RinI'm not laughing. Turn around. Honestly, Eric? It really works on you.
  15. EricReally? I'll stand out in every photo.
  16. RinThat's a good thing. In the snow, everyone else will be wearing black.
  17. EricHmm. It is very warm. And it fits perfectly.
  18. RinKeep it. Call them and ask for a discount for the mistake.
  19. EricOkay. The banana jacket stays. Let's see if they'll give me something back.
