ALICE Where are you?
DANIEL I'm not really sure, I can't find the name of the street. But I'm looking a shopping mall to my left and beyond that it looks like a soccer stadium is being built. Speaking of soccer, where are my tickets? I have lost my tickets!
ALICE Oh my gosh, you're still a mess! Someday something serious is going to happen to you.
DANIEL You're always thinking the worst!
ALICIA And you are always forgetting everything!
DANIEL We are already arguing again!
