I can't express enough how grateful I am for your help with my daughter.

Alois

She was over the moon about the gift you chose.

Manuela

Oh! Wonderful! I would've expected no less after the effort I put into finding the perfect gift.

Alois

I even received a thank-you letter from her. Would you care to read it?

Manuela

I shouldn't be reading your personal letters, Alois.

Alois

Don't worry. Look who it's addressed to.

Manuela
volume_up

Yes, I see you here, and... "To the person who selected my gift"?

Alois

That's my daughter for you! Perceptive. She can see right through my little schemes.

Manuela

It wouldn't take a genius to figure it out after being sent dirty coins for so many years...

Manuela

Anyway, I guess that means I can carry on reading.

Manuela

That's a special girl you've got there. Your daughter really cares about you.

Alois

She does, doesn't she? That reminds me of when she was younger. She always used to—

Manuela

I'm gonna cut you off, Alois. I don't have time for a story right now.

Alois
volume_up

Very well, another time. But I would still like to show my appreciation.

Alois
volume_up

A knight never takes kindness for granted. What can I do for you?
link
Manuela
volume_up

Oh, there's a mountain of things I want, but nothing I can ask you to do.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Reading your daughter's heartwarming letter was more than enough.
link
Manuela
volume_up

I didn't help you out so I could have a knight owe me a favor. I just wanted to help a friend.
link
Alois
volume_up

In that case, I hope my words of gratitude will suffice as repayment.
link
Alois
volume_up

I am truly thankful for your help this time. And the next...
link
Manuela
volume_up

I'm sorry? What do you mean "the next"?
link
Alois
volume_up

Well, my wife's birthday is coming up...
link
Alois
volume_up

So, of course, I'm going to need all the help I can get from my gift-selection advisor!

Manuela
volume_up

Don't push your luck, pal.

Alois, I'll never understand how someone like you can find love, yet I'm still alone.
