Puhu hänelle!
Tyttö: Mikä on vialla?
Poika: Pidän hänestä niin paljon…
Tyttö: Puhu hänelle!
Poika: Enpä tiedä, hän ei edes pidä minusta.
Tyttö: Älä sano noin. Olet uskomaton.
Poika: Haluan vain hänen tietävän kuinka tunnen.
Tyttö: Sitten kerro hänelle.
Poika: Minäkö?
Tyttö: Odotas, kenestä sinä pidät?
Poika: Hän ei pidä minusta…
Tyttö: Kuinka sinä voit tietää sen?
Poika: Minä vain voin.
Tyttö: No kerro hänelle.
Poika: Mitä minun pitäisi sanoa?
Tyttö: Kerro hänelle miten paljon hänestä tykkäät!
Poika: Minä kerron sen päivittäin.
Tyttö: Mitä sinä tarkoitat?
Poika: Olen aina hänen kanssaan. Rakastan häntä.
Tyttö: Tiedän mitä tunnet. Minulla on sama ongelma. Mutta hän ei ikinä tykkäisi minusta.
Poika: Voi, hänkään ei tykkää minusta.
Tyttö: Kyllä tykkää.
Poika: Mistä sinä tiedät…?
Tyttö: Kuka sinusta nyt ei tykkäisi?
Poika: Sinä.
Tyttö: Olet väärässä, rakastan sinua.
Poika: Rakastan sinua myös.
Tyttö: Joten aiotko mennä puhumaan hänelle?
Poika: Juurihan minä puhuin.
