A likely story. I bet a girl kissed you and you fainted, at least.

[ He flicks her forehead. ]

Is that what you think? Unfortunately for you, I've always been very smooth and suave.

--- Hey!

[ puffs her cheeks out at him! ]

Oh, really? Is that why you totally froze up when Mr. Armbrust gave you a kiss?

[ SIGH ]

It was unexpected, that's all.

[ if she weren't sick she'd kiss him on the cheek just to see how he'd react... ]

A likely story. It's okay to be shy, yanno.

I'm not shy. [ looks at her ] You wouldn't be a little startled if a man suddenly kissed you in public?

You did tell him to do it, yanno. He just called your bluff.

[ maya would be so embarrassed though ]

I wasn't expecting him to! It was just a joke.

Kissing is very serious business to some people, Mr. von Riegan.

I wouldn't know. It's of no consequence to someone like me.

Oh, do you not get any kisses? That's so sad....

[ FLICKS HER AGAIN ]

[ shjsdjsk ]

What the heck!!!

You shouldn't be so rude to your elders.

I guess it's a sensitive subject, huh....

[ trying to back a way a little in case he gets her again ]

It's not. I could hardly care. Why are we talking about this?

'Cause you were claiming to be all smooth and sauve, which is a contradiction to the facts.

You making it a hobby of yours to attack me?

I'm just pointing out your lie! It's got nothing to do with attacking.

I don't think it's a lie... No one is one way all the time. Even the calmest people panic sometimes.

Not usually when they get a kiss, though.

Let's just stop talking about this.

[ closes eyes. pained. ]

Hm... alright. But you owe me.

[ she won't forget this ]
