There he is. OK, Bernie, you can do this.

Raphael

Oh! Bernadetta!

Raphael

Sorry, just passing through. Didn't mean to scare you again...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

No-no, it's all right. Actually, I came to talk to you.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I owe you an apology. It's, um, long overdue.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Huh? What do you have to apologize for?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I'm hopelessly terrified of you, so every time I see you, I kind of lose my mind.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

But once you're gone and I get time to calm down, I realize I'm making a big deal out of nothing.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you before. I feel awful! I hope you can forgive me!
link
Raphael
volume_up

Come on, now. It's all right. I wasn't really that bothered by it. Promise.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I shoulda been more careful not to scare you. I'm a big guy, and my muscles can be intimidating.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

No! No, you did nothing wrong! It's all my fault.
link
Raphael
volume_up

How about this? Let's say it's both our fault and call it even.
link
Raphael
volume_up

But you know, I've been thinking...
link
Raphael
volume_up

You really are scared of everything. Is there something we can do to fix that?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

You mean like a cure?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Something like that. I think we can figure this out. Your biggest fear is talking to people, right?
link
Raphael
volume_up

If that's the case, you need to change the way you think about talking!
link
Raphael
volume_up

Right now you think it's bad, so you're afraid to do it. I figure if you talk to more people, then you'll think talking is good!
link
Raphael
volume_up

It might be hard to suddenly start talking to people though...
link
Raphael
volume_up

You're gonna need to take it slow. Oh! I know! Start with me!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

W-with you? That'll be, um...tough. Maybe, um... Maybe if you turn around? Face the other way?
link
Raphael
volume_up

I guess...if that's what you need. How's this?
link
Raphael
volume_up

I bet if you get used to talking to me, your fears will go away in no time!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

You're, ah, still really intimidating.
link
Bernadetta

But OK, I'll give it a try...
