Full script

Lin
Hey, could you help me figure out where my seat is?
Them
Yeah, sure. What section and row are on your ticket?
Lin
Section C, row nine—unless I'm reading it upside down again.
Them
Nope, you're good. C is this aisle, and row nine's a bit farther down.
Lin
Great, so I'm not about to steal somebody else's seat, right?
Them
Only if they're invisible. Yours is the third chair in from the aisle.
Lin
Perfect, thanks. If I sit on someone's lap, I'll know I miscounted.
Them
If that happens, just clap confidently—half this row started in the wrong seats.
