LANCE
'You just said you're happily married, but I think we should prove it so that people can more understand it.'
ANDREA
(Is he trying to help me?)
(How odd!)
NARRATOR
'Then you realize he's just trying to prove your “perfect marriage” to everyone.'
ANDREA
(I need to play with him to get out of this!)

What should I do?
Kiss him.

(Awkward!)
MR.HAMILTON
'That's enough. Don't make a fool of yourself in public.'
'Go back to your room.'
LEONIE
'Wait!'
'I agree with ANDREA's conditions! I have to frisk her!'
NARRATOR
'Leonie looks at you in stubborn.'
LEONIE
'If you're willing to be frisked and if they're not birth control pills.'
'I will apologize to you on f*******: and explain what happened on the stairs.'
ANDREA
(Urgh! This b***h!)
'Sorry, I'm not interested in that anymore.'
'As you see, my husband loves me and trusts me. That’s enough for me.'
NARRATOR
'Leonie blushes with anger and gnashes her teeth.'
LEONIE
'Why, are you guilty?'

'I said I have no interest.'
LEONIE
'You are definitely afraid of being found out!'
ANDREA
'Whatever you want to think.'
NARRATOR
'Lance seizes your arm again.'
'You look at the hand on your arm and doubtfully locks eyes with Lance.'
LANCE
'Let her frisk you.'
NARRATOR
'You try to pull your arm away, but it’s in vain.'
ANDREA
(What’s the problem with him?)
(He was on my side the last second, and the next second, he switches back to Leonie?)
ANDREA
I should say…
What’s the problem with you?
{
ANDREA
(I can understand this man.)
LANCE
'Quiet, listen to me.'
}
No!
{
ANDREA
(I shouldn't have believed him.)
(He is definitely an asshole!)

}
Lance, I thought you trusted me.
{

LANCE
'Listen to me, baby.'
}

'As Lance agrees, Leonie trots forward and dips her hand into your pocket without waiting for your consent.'
'The next second, Leonie appears a confused look, and she rechecks your pocket.'
LEONIE
'Where is it?'
NARRATOR
'Determined, Leonie reaches for the other pocket but finds nothing again.'
LEONIE
'That's impossible!'
'I saw her took the pills from Charles!'
ANDREA
(What? Nothing?)
(Where are my pills?)
NARRATOR
'You check your pockets and find that there's really nothing inside.'
'You pretend to be calm on the surface, but inside you are full of doubts and panic.'
ANDREA
(It’s impossible. I did have it in my pocket. I even checked its existence when I got up from the fountain. No one can move it after that without getting attention, unless……)
(The kiss.)
NARRATOR
'You look at the man who is still holding your hand tightly. He is as cold as ever.'
LANCE
'I want to see your apology on f*******: by tomorrow, Leonie.'
LEONIE
'Lance, I saw Dr. Peters give her the birth control pills, and I saw her put them in her pocket.'
'I know they're there! Perhaps she's hidden them somewhere else!'
NARRATOR
'Leonie reaches for your collar to search inside your clothes.'
'Lance's face darkens, and he turns around, blocking Leonie with his back.'
'He embraces you, shielding you with his body.'
