[ Theme Song ]
Scene: The Dupain-Cheng family living room. Marinette uses with a French-to-Chinese translation app.

Marinette: You'll see Tikki. I'll say it just fine. (presses the microphone button on the app) Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette.
Translator App: 欢迎来到我的家,我的名字叫马里内特。

Jess: huh

Johnathen: *shrugs*

Marinette: (repeats after the translator app, pronounces the sentence wrong) No, that's not right. (repeats the translated statement and gets it correct)
Tikki: Good job Marinette!
Marinette: I'm so nervous! Do you think he'll like them? (Marinette grabs the flowers off the coffee table.)
Tikki: Well of course! They're fine!
Marinette: They can't be fine, they have to be perfect! My Mom's uncle is a super famous Chinese chef. He's very particular, so things have to be just right. (Doorbell rings.) That's him! Hide, Tikki. (Tikki hides. While going to the door, Marinette trips over the backing of her couch before opening it.)
Wang Cheng: 你好 (Hello).
Marinette: Uh, welcome Mari you're at Nette's. Uh ah, welcome to Marinette's! You're Chinese! No no no no! In Mandarin! (Marinette attempts to greet her Great Uncle in Chinese.) Ugh, no wait. (Marinette reaches for phone and hands Wang Cheng the flowers, who smells them.)
Marinette: (whisper shouts to the translator app on her phone) Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette. Ugh, this is so lame.
Translator App:欢迎来到我家。我的名字叫马里内特。哎,这个真差劲。哎,这个真差劲。哎,这个-... (app malfunctions and keeps repeating "Ugh, this is so lame!" [However it translates to "Ugh, this sucks"] until she closes the app and let her great uncle inside.)

Jess; *bursts into laughter with the other girls* that's too funny

Alix: your trying but failing

Adrien; mabey i should teach you marinette

Marinette: o ok

Marinette: (On the phone with Alya, whom she just dialled) Alya, you've gotta help me. I don't know what to do with my mom's uncle. You know, the one I told you about? Well, I don't think I can pull this off... (Cut to Alya, sitting on a park bench)
Alya: Chill out Marinette, I got the solution. Just hang tight. (She hangs up.)
Marinette: (To the dial tone) Thank you! You're amazing. What solution? Huh? Aw...

Scene: The Dupain-Cheng family sofa. Marinette sits uncomfortably with Wang Cheng, awaiting Alya's help, when the doorbell rings, and Marinette runs to answer it.

Adrien: Hey Marinette!
Marinette: ADRIEN!? What in the-uh-what are you-
Adrien: Alya called me. She said you needed someone who speaks Chinese? Well, here I am! Translator at your service. (he bows to her)

Jess: *fist bumps alya* smart

Alya: I know playing cupid here

Johnathen; that can be dangerous he doesn't like it when others medel in love

Marinette: No! I mean, yes! Uh, where's Alya? (She receives a text from Alya confirming the situation.) Uh, hehe!

Scene: In the car on the way to the contest.

Adrien:郑师傅,这是你第一次来巴黎吗?(translates. Master Cheng, Is this the first time you've visited Paris?)
Wang Cheng:不,我三十年曾经来过这里;你说一口流利的中国话。 (translates. No, I have been here 30 years ago. You can speak Chinese fluently.)
Adrien:谢谢,郑师傅。 (bows) (translates. Thank you, Master Cheng)
Wang Cheng: Oh, my English very bad. Not like your Chinese.
Adrien: I thought you couldn't speak English.
Marinette: Uh, me too.
Wang Cheng: Oh, no, not good. My English not good.
(Marinette giggles.)
