Scene: The Dupain-Cheng family living room. Marinette uses with a French-to-Chinese translation app. Across from her is Zane who rubs Ziggys stomach.

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。

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.)

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.

Wang Cheng: 漂亮的狗 (Beautiful Dog)

Zane: 谢谢你想抚摸他吗? (Thank you would you like to pet him?)

Wang Cheng: 我很想知道他叫什么名字? (I'd love to what is his name?)

Zane hands Ziggy to wang Chen.

Zane: 他的名字叫齐吉 (His name is Ziggy.)

Wang Chen pets Ziggy who licks his cheek making wang Chen chuckle.

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)

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

They go to leave but zane stays behind.
