Stronger Than You Know

Daisy: *stares blankly, then Quakes the table slightly* Okay, new plan. I'll just shake all the files out until the one we need falls out. Solves everything!

Sousa, blushing slightly: Oh, I wouldn't say that… Just enjoyed listening… It was a different time.

Daisy: Different? Or cooler? Come on, Sousa, spill! Did you ever serenade a dame with a trombone solo?

Sousa, clears throat awkwardly: I… I may have played in a band at the USO.

Sousa, smiling smoothly: And what are your people most in need of? Times are tough, we’re here to help!

Alien Leader, scoffing a laugh: Entertainment. …We have far more than your dreary, resource-deprived rock could ever salvage… But we crave stories, daring adventure, enemies reformed, and romance.

Daisy, elbowing Sousa: Oh, don't worry, we have tons of that back home! In fact *looks pointedly at Sousa* we're living one right now *pats his chest* in our home.

Sousa: We are? I… *whispering* I thought we were mostly just arguing about how much sugar you should actually be using in your coffee? Oh, *coughs as he’s elbowed and interlaces their hands* Yes! Yes, my heart… my heart is her home?

Daisy, whispering intensely while clutching his hand: Play along! They think we're star-crossed lovers battling against the odds.

Sousa, squeezing Daisy's hand nervously: Oh, alright. As you wish, my dearest love.

So were you.
