Ah, hello, Ingrid! A good day to you!

Ingrid

Well, hello there. If it isn't Claude. Always a pleasure.

Claude

You put in a fine performance in training today! I must redouble my own efforts!
link
Ingrid
volume_up

That's kind of you to say.

Claude
volume_up

By the by, do you have a moment to spare? I have been meaning to ask for your input on some new strategies.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Oh, goodness. Only if you think someone as lowly as myself might be of service.
link
Claude
volume_up

But of course. I value your skills more highly than most any other!
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Oh, goodness!
link
Claude
volume_up

OK, time out! Listen, Ingrid... Do you really have to say "oh goodness" every couple of seconds?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

What do you expect? Speaking to me as you were, I only responded in kind!
link
Claude
volume_up

What? Do I sound that strange? I thought I was acting earnest and industrious.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I mean...yes! You do. You sound nothing short of ridiculous.
link
Claude
volume_up

Sheesh! Have you looked in a mirror lately? You're the one who's been walking around like Queen Uptight.

Ingrid
volume_up

Excuse me?! I'll admit it was a bit forced, but it certainly doesn't warrant such a title.
link
Claude
volume_up

Look, this was fresh and fun for a while, but... Maybe it's time we called it quits.
link
Claude
volume_up

Acting like this isn't us. We're just going to make everyone think we've gone mad.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I agree. I must say I have an easier time getting on with you when you're you in all your you-ness.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Come to think of it, you've always been more reliable than most anyone I know, when it really mattered.
link
Claude
volume_up

Ha, well, thanks for saying that.
link
Claude
volume_up

I think I liked you better when you were a bit pricklier too.
link
Claude
volume_up

I've gone so long without hearing one of your lectures, I'm almost starting to miss them.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm sure I can remedy that for you.
link
Claude
volume_up

Uh, I didn't mean you need to go all out or anything! A little restraint would still be nice.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

My "lectures," as you call them, only persist as long as is necessary.
link
Claude
volume_up

Ooh... I think I'm coming down with a stomachache. We'll talk later, OK? OK! Seeya!

Claude leaves the scene

Ingrid

You honestly expect me to believe that? Come back here, Claude!
