Oumou finishes her performance, with the entire crowd giving her a round of applause. She speaks in an appreciative tone, feeling shy from their praise. Oumou Line 1) Thank you all so much for coming out here! Enjoy the rest of your day! The other musicians continue to play their instruments while Oumou steps out, gathering her belongings to clock out of work. She makes her way to the exit of the restaurant, with Ambrož approaching her. Oumou notices Ambrož, glancing at him in a flustered manner. Ambrož happily stands in front of Oumou, speaking in an admirable tone, Ambrož Line 2) You were amazing out there! Oumou blushes, avoiding eye contact with Ambrož. She speaks in a timid tone. Oumou Line 3) T-Thank you. Ambrož speaks in a tone of excitement. Ambrož Line 4) It’s only been a week since you’ve moved, and yet you’ve already gathered up such an impressive crowd. Ambrož Line 5) I’m so proud of you! Great work! Oumou can’t help but smile, continuing to avoid Ambrož’s gaze. She covers up her face, feeling shy while blushing immensely. Ambrož Line 6) Where do you want to go for today? Oumou uncovers her face, intently glancing at Ambrož, noticing the illuminating restaurant lights project an orangy haze onto him. She stares at him in disbelief, wondering how someone could look so good in the moment. A smile curls her mouth happily. She extends her hand out, anticipating for Ambrož to take it. She speaks in an affectionate manner. Oumou Line 7) Wherever our feet take us*. *Refer back to episode 12, line 34. Ambrož cheerfully smiles at Oumou, slightly taken aback by her attentive demeanor. He gently places his hand onto hers, leading her somewhere. Oumou happily walks behind Ambrož, letting him lead the way. Ambrož leads Oumou to his car, the both of them getting in. Ambrož starts driving to an unknown place. Oumou happily watches him drive, bubbling with spontaneity. Line 8) Oumou’s inner thoughts: This is so exciting. I wonder where he’ll take me. Oumou glances at Ambrož in a trustful manner. They finally arrive at their destination, exiting the car. Ambrož swiftly gets out of the car faster than Oumou, wanting to open the door for her. Oumou blushes from Ambrož’s gesture. Ambrož extends his hand out, affectionately gazing at Oumou welcomingly. Oumou places her hand into Ambrož’s, allowing him to do the honors of getting her out of the car. She speaks in a timid tone. Oumou Line 9) Thank you~ You’re too kind. Ambrož glances at Oumou in a bashful manner, continuing to hold her hand as he leads her to their unknown area. Oumou continues to oblige Ambrož's quest. Ambrož stops in his tracks, signifying that they have arrived in their area. Oumou glances at Ambrož in confusion. She speaks in a tone of disconcertion. Oumou Line 10) Um… Why have you brought us to a playground? Ambrož speaks in a cheerful manner. Ambrož Line 11) To go on the swings! Ambrož presents his hands in a jazzy manner, showcasing an empty swing set for two. Oumou glances at Ambrož in disbelief. She speaks in a curious tone. Oumou Line 12) What suddenly sparked this interest? Ambrož Line 13) On my way driving to pick you up, I noticed that I passed a playground, and these swings caught my attention. Ambrož speaks in a nostalgic manner. Ambrož Line 14) I remember going on swings a lot as a kid. Super fun times! Ambrož speaks sentimentally.. Ambrož Line 15) There’s something so freeing about being lunged in the air in such a manner. He swerves into a sympathetic tone. Ambrož Line 16) I know that you haven’t been having the most ideal journey moving to Detroit… Ambrož Line 17) That’s why I thought maybe doing something like this could help you destress. Ambrož Line 18) Let loose for tonight. Be a kid again! Oumou intently observes Ambrož’s demeanor. She lets out a chuckle, finding his personality wholesome. She speaks in an appreciative manner. Oumou Line 19) This is very considerate of you~ Ambrož happily glances at Oumou, feeling excited. Ambrož Line 20) Get seated. I’ll push you. Oumou sits down on a swing, with Ambrož coming behind her to push her. As Ambrož pushes Oumou, she gradually gets higher and higher, her joyous smile growing wider each second. She speaks in a tone of excitement, letting the wind flow through her coily locs. Oumou Line 21) Woo hoo! Ambrož happily watches Oumou on the swing, enjoying her happiness. She continues swinging in the air gallantly with Ambrož joining, getting situated on his swing. Their swings sync up, with the both of them glancing at each other in bubbly manners. Oumou lets out a laughter of joy, feeling gratified. Oumou Line 22) This is so fun! Ambrož joins in on Oumou’s laughter, speaking in a joyous tone. Ambrož Line 23) I know, right?! The both of them continue swinging in the air, eventually coming to a stopping point. Oumou speaks in a fulfilling manner. Oumou Line 24) It was a good idea for you to bring us here. Ambrož happily relishes Oumou’s appreciation. He speaks in an enthusiastic tone. Ambrož Line 25) I’m glad that you’re enjoying it here. Ambrož Line 26) But the fun doesn’t have to stop. Ambrož gets off his swing, coming behind Oumou again. Oumou glances up at Ambrož, wondering what he’s trying to do. Ambrož speaks in an inquisitive manner. Ambrož Line 27) Have you ever tried twisting the swing and then swinging? Oumou shakes her head no, her eyes appealing to the suggestion. Ambrož speaks in an encouraging tone. Ambrož Line 28) Want to give it a go? It’s really fun! Oumou eagerly nods her head, anticipating the fun. Ambrož twists Oumou’s swing to its fullest, getting ready to propel her forward. An expression of nervousness engulfs Oumou’s face, getting the feeling that doing this is a bad idea. Ambrož speaks in an enthusiastic manner. Ambrož Line 29) You ready? Oumou nods her head hesitantly. Ambrož Line 30) Alright! Here I go! Ambrož pushes Oumou with all his strength, able to duck underneath her swing from how hard his force was. He happily watches her swing untwist and swing at the same time. A frantic expression comes across Oumou’s face, feeling like she’s going to bump into the swings’ metal bars. Ambrož gets hit with the realization that he subconsciously exerted his superhuman strength onto Oumou. Oumou speaks in a frightful manner. Oumou Line 31) HELP! Ambrož quickly stops Oumou’s swing, looking at her in concern. He speaks in a worrisome manner. Ambrož Line 32) Are you okay?! You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?! Oumou freezes in her position from shock, trying to process what’s just happened. She bursts into a heavy laughter, ducking her head from her giggles. Ambrož interprets Oumou’s laughter as sobs. A heavily frantic expression engulfs his face. He covers his mouth in shock. Line 33) Ambrož’s inner thoughts: I can’t believe I just made her cry! Ambrož scrunches his head in distress. Line 34) Ambrož’s inner thoughts: I’m so done for! Oumou snorts from her laughter, with Ambrož glancing at her in confusion from the unexpected sound. He leans into her closer, putting his hands on her shoulders assertively in concern. He speaks in a manner of worry. Ambrož Line 35) Oumou, are you okay? Oumou glances up at Ambrož, finishing her laughter. The tension between them makes her blush as she notes how close they are to one another. She intently stares at Ambrož, appreciating his handsome face. He glances back at her in concern, noticing the tears in her eyes sliding down her cheeks. His voice trembles as he speaks in disbelief, remorse surging through him. Ambrož Line 36) O-Oh my gosh! I was right! You’re crying! A frantic expression engulfs Oumou’s face from Ambrož’s misinterpretation. She speaks in a reassuring voice. Oumou Line 37) I’m not crying, Glyn. Oumou wipes her tears, realizing the irony of her statement. Oumou Line 38) I mean, I am, but not out of pain or sadness. Oumou smiles at Ambrož, speaking in a joyful manner. Oumou Line 39) I’m crying from laughter. Ambrož speaks in a skeptical tone. Ambrož Line 40) You don’t have to lie to make me feel better. Oumou speaks in a truthful manner. Oumou Line 41) No. I’m being serious. What happened just now was really funny. Ambrož glances at Oumou in confusion. Oumou explains herself, feeling slightly embarrassed. Oumou Line 42) I panicked. Kind of saw my life flash before my eyes. Oumou Line 43) But then you swooped in to save me, and I realized how much of a drama queen I was for thinking I was on the brink of death. This is just a simple swing, after all. Oumou Line 44) I get dramatic sometimes. Sorry. Ambrož sits down on his swing from relief. He lets out a sigh of exhaustion. Oumou speaks in an apologetic manner. Oumou Line 45) Sorry for worrying you for no reason. Ambrož speaks in an insistent tone. Ambrož Line 46) Don’t be sorry. I was the one who made you feel like you were in danger. Ambrož speaks in a manner of immense guilt. Ambrož Line 47) I’m so sorry. I should’ve known better. Oumou affectionately places her hand onto Ambrož’s shoulders, offering him a reassuring smile. Oumou Line 48) You were just having fun. Ambrož forces a fake smile out. Oumou playfully hits his shoulder, glancing at him in a smug manner. Oumou Line 49) Don’t get so butt hurt from that. Let’s continue on with our fun! Ambrož speaks in a curious tone. Ambrož Line 50) What do you want to do? Oumou speaks in a flirtatious manner, tapping her foot onto Ambrož’s. Ambrož blushes from the romantic gesture. Oumou Line 51) Let’s talk. We had such a good conversation together yesterday. Oumou speaks in a timid manner. Oumou Line 52) I know it’s too early to say this, but it feels right saying it now… Oumou speaks in an affectionate tone. Oumou Line 53) I missed you today. Ambrož’s face flushes red. Oumou looks away from Ambrož, not able to make eye contact. Oumou Line 54) My mind just kept thinking of you. You left such a good impression on me. Oumou Line 55) Remember how I mentioned I don’t really have good friends*? *Refer back to episode 13, line 13, etc. Ambrož nods his head, continuing to blush from Oumou’s previous remark. Oumou speaks in a touching manner. Oumou Line 56) I feel like I got a taste of what a true friendship is really like because of you. Oumou Line 57) I’ve never experienced dynamics such as what we’ve got going on with each other. Oumou Line 58) I know that things are just starting out for us, but I really appreciate you being here with me right now. Oumou Line 59) You’ve already done so much for me when we’ve only scratched the surface of what our relationship could blossom into. Oumou speaks in an appreciative tone. Oumou Line 60) Thank you for being the best. Ambrož happily smiles at Oumou, continuing to blush from her sentimentality. Ambrož Line 61) How am I supposed to top that? Oumou chuckles. She speaks in a reassuring manner. Oumou Line 62) You don’t have to say anything back. I didn’t tell you this expecting a response out of you. Oumou Line 63) You just deserve to know how I feel. Ambrož’s eyebrows loosen, feeling caught under a spell by Oumou. Ambrožspeaks in an insistent manner. Ambrož Line 64) No. I must say something back. You’re just too sweet~ Oumou blushes. Ambrož speaks in a sentimental manner. Ambrož Line 65) I haven’t really had anyone else for a while besides my brother. Ambrož Line 66) Though we’re best friends, my heart yearns for another connection with someone. Ambrož Line 67) … A connection where our souls intertwine. Ambrož Line 68) Which is why I gave dating a chance. Ambrož shakes his head in positive disbelief. He speaks in an affectionate tone. Ambrož Line 69) Getting paired with you was most definitely a fluke. Ambrož Line 70) I’m so very grateful that I got lucky~ Ambrož glances at Oumou appreciatively, noticing her flustered expression. He speaks in an authentic manner. Ambrož Line 71) I promise to savor every moment we have together. Ambrož Line 72) As you mentioned, we’ve only just started getting to know each other… Ambrož Line 73) But I already feel so connected to you. Ambrož Line 74) Like, when you were singing on stage earlier today… Ambrož Line 75) You were so radiate. Passion was just surging out of you, oh so naturally. Ambrož glances at Oumou in fascination, speaking in a tone of adoration. Ambrož Line 76) I can’t describe how I felt watching you. Ambrož Line 77) I felt a bit flustered for some reason… Ambrož Line 78) And, also, heavily shocked. Ambrož Line 79) Of course, I believed you were a good singer when you mentioned that to me before*, but actually witnessing you sing with my very own eyes was an out-of-body experience. *Refer back to episode 12, line 58. Ambrož Line 80) I feel quite boastful. I can’t believe I know you when you’re so talented. Ambrož Line 81) I feel so starstruck. Ambrož playfully nudges Oumou’s shoulder, speaking in an encouraging manner. Ambrož Line 82) Keep chasing your dreams, you~ Oumou’s face flushes red from Ambrož’s touching words. She speaks in an awkward tone. Oumou Line 83) … Thank. You. Ambrož smirks, letting out a closed chuckle. Ambrož Line 84) Let me take you somewhere fancy this weekend if you aren’t busy. Oumou glances at Ambrož in delight. She smiles at him appreciatively. Oumou Line 85) I’m down! Ambrož speaks in a joyful tone. Ambrož Line 86) Sounds good. I can’t wait~ Oumou speaks in an inquisitive tone. Oumou Line 87) What about tomorrow? Ambrož tilts his head, wondering what Oumou will say. Oumou speaks in a shy tone. Oumou Line 88) I like hanging out with you like this. Can we do it often? Ambrož happily smiles at Oumou. Ambrož Line 89) Of course, we can. Oumou speaks in a tone of excitement. Oumou Line 90) Yay! I’ll have something to look forward to after work! Ambrož blushes, feeling special. Ambrož Line 91) Does that mean I can watch you sing again? Oumou speaks in a timid tone. Oumou Line 92) I presume. Just continue to blend in with the crowd*. *Refer back to episode 14, line 87. Oumou defends her reasoning, hoping Ambrož won’t feel offended. Oumou Line 93) Sorry. I just feel so flustered with you already knowing that I sing and all. Ambrož speaks in an understanding manner. Ambrož Line 94) Don’t worry. I completely get it. Ambrož speaks in a smug tone. Ambrož Line 95) That just means I have to continue coming until you get used to looking me in the eyes when you sing. Oumou blushes. Ambrož drives Oumou home. She steps out of his car, getting ready to bid Ambrož goodbye. A grateful tone of voice emanates from Oumou. Oumou Line 96) Thank you for everything today. Ambrož speaks with reassurance. Ambrož Line 97) I didn’t do anything, but you're welcome, I guess. Oumou speaks in a suggestive tone. Oumou Line 98) What do you mean? You did everything. Ambrož glances at Oumou bashfully. An appreciative tone permeates his speech. Ambrož Line 99) Well, then, thank you too. Oumou blushes, feeling flattered. Oumou Line 100) You are most certainly welcome! Ambrož Line 101) Have a great night! Don’t let the bed bugs bite! Oumou Line 102) You too~ Sleep tight! Oumou waves Ambrož off, heading into her place and closing the door. Ambrož waits again, like last time, until Oumou turns the lights on in her place*. *Refer back to episode 14, details in between lines 96 and 97. Once she turns the lights on, Ambrož happily drives off home. End of episode. Copyright ©2024 under United States Copyright office, Library of Congress. All rights reserved.
