[Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie]

Marin is on his balcony with Tikki. "How about inviting her to a movie then?", Tikki suggested.

"Right, Tikki. Can you imagine that conversation?", Marin said. "Hey Amelie, would you like to gah— wuh!", Tikki stuttered.

She pretends to gets tongue-twisted and sticks his tongue out. "-glah.", Tikki continued.

"Exactly. I can't help it. Every time I see her.", Marin said. He imagines that an image of Amelie appearing in the clouds.

"I get all clammy and I feel like fainting.", Marin continued. "So... basically the only way you could have a normal conversation with her... is if you're blindfolded?", Tikki asked.

"Pretty much.", Marin admitted. "There is a very simple solution, Marin, it's called a cell phone. You just need her number.", Tikki said.

"I know who'll have Amelie's number!", Marin pulled out his phone to call Arlo.

[Scene: The Place des Vosges]

A crowd is gathered for the Scarlet Beetle and Kitty Noir's sculpture. Théo and André Bourgeois are facing the crowd, with the giant statue covered with a sheet behind them.

"I'm sure you've outdone yourself, Théo.", Andre complimented. "It was my honor. And I can't wait to meet Kitty Noir, I hope she'll autograph the photo I used as the inspiration for the statue.", Theo said, bringing out a newspaper clipping of Kitty Noir saving the day.

"Oh, it's nearly time. Scarlet Beetle and Kitty Noir should already be here by now.", André said.

[Scene: Marin's room]

"Look, we all know improv's not your bag, so just stick to this script.", Arlo said, giving Marin a notepad to read off of. "But all the teachers say I don't sound natural when I read.", Marin pointed out.

"Then memorize it. It's pretty simple.", Arlo said, pointing a finger at Marin's temple. "You can do this. Just don't improvise. Got it?", Arlo continued.

"Forget it! This is never gonna work!", Marin said, looking at the Arlo's phone and the script. Unfortunately for him, Arlo had already tapped the call button on his phone.

"Too late. It's dialing.~", Arlo smirked. He jumps behind Marin's chaise and hides behind it.

Marin gasps and panics, while holding the cell phone in one hand, not knowing what to do. "Hey, this is Amelie's voicemail. Leave a message.", the voicemail stated.

"It's gone to voicemail!", Marin whispered to Arlo. "Leave a message! Don't improv!", Arlo whispered back.

"Uhh, hello. Uh, Amelie's voicemail.", Marin said nervously, making Arlo facepalm. "Uh, this is Marin... who... uh... has a message for you... of course, cause it's... uh... your phone... so... umm...", Marin chuckled, before blurting out.

"Callmeseeyoulater,bye!", Marin rushed. He then throws the phone onto the chaise.

Arlo looks at him, exasperated, putting a finger to his head. Marin rolled over to him in his chair, not liking the way Arlo was looking at him.

"What? What did you expect me to say?", Marin asked. He switches to a pseudo-confident tone.

"'Hey, hot stuff, this is Marin, I'd ask you on a date to a movie, but I've got such a crazy crush on you that the only way I can talk to you without foaming out the mouth is over this stupid phone.' Pretty ridiculous, right?", Marin said, sitting back in his chair, smiling until... 'If you wish to hear your message again, press 1. If you wish to erase your message, press 2.', the voicemail stated.
