Full script
Lin
Hey, can I be honest for a second without making this weird?
Them
Sure... that sentence usually means either drama or a confession.
Lin
Hopefully the good kind. I've liked you for a while now.
Them
Wow, okay. My brain just buffered a little, but in a nice way.
Lin
I even rehearsed this, then my mouth decided to freestyle.
Them
Honestly, same. I've been dropping hints so subtle they deserved subtitles.
Lin
So... would you want to go out with me properly sometime?
Them
Yes, absolutely—though that's brave, because my subtitles were apparently terrible.
