Lucky, on the phone, jumped on the road, pushed the YUSHA from being hitten by a passing

               car. The bag with the showpiece gift tumbled to the ground.
               Are you okay?

               Yusha: Just fine I think. Thank you so much, Thank God!
               Lucky: Please take care. You’re sure you’re alright?-

               Yusha: Yes I’m fine, thank you very much! I don’t know where I was looking.

               Lucky: Don’t know. Take care next time.
               Garja: Lucky? What was that noise?

               Yusha: I was busy talking with my boss, she got retired and I’m carrying this gift for her only.
               How inconsiderate of me-

               Lucky: It’s alright!

               Garja: Answer me right now!
               Yusha: I mean, Thanks to you, I saved my life!

               Lucky: Oh! Never mind.
               Garja: Okay, Lucky. Very funny. I said no talking back and now you’re not talking at all.

               Yusha: My gift also fell.
               Lucky: You’re just lucky it was me, else no one cares on this digital busy planet.

               Garja: If you’re playing games with me right now I’m going to kill you.

               Yusha: But it’s really shameful of me, who doesn’t look straight ahead when they’re walking
               somewhere! Again. I’m awfully sorry.

               Lucky: Let me help you pick all this stuff up. By the way, this showpiece gift is very beautiful
               and attractive, I liked it. (Picks up the gift and bag).

               Yusha: Aw. Do you like it? Thank you!

               Lucky: Hey. There’s a lot I could criticise about you.
               Yusha: Yeah, like what.

               Lucky: where were you looking when you were walking down the roadside? Don’t you see or
               feet of the l car passing or coming towards you?

               Garja: Hellooooo?

               Yusha: All right, all right, it was my fault. (Looks down at groceries) Aw. Look at my gift.
               Thank god! Not broken at all.

               Garja: Lucky, I swear, you are-
               Dial tone.

               Manager: (Offstage) your call has been disconnected. Please leave a message after the tone.
