Felix-They pay for everything.
Marinette-When is it?
Felix-We'd leave on Friday.
Marinette-Felix,we can't just close up shop right before Christmas.
Olivia-Turns out we can.New York is like a fairy tale.We'd get to stay in a cottage.And they even have a handsome prince.
Marinette-Well,it is an honor just to be invited.

Marinette-Maybe.But maybe not.
Felix-Come on Mari.Ever since you broke up with Nathaniel,it's like you are scared to do anything different.Your plan your life down to the last minute.

Felix-John Lennon once said that life's what happens when your busy making other plans.
Marinette-What?And you can't argue with a Beatle?
Felix-No.
Marinette-An event like this will be a lot of work.
Felix-They're giving the entire afternoon to prep the kitchen and two days to relax and go sightseeing.
Marinette-Well,maybe if they gave us more notice.
Felix-Mari come on.It's not good to stay at home at Christmas alone and feel sorry for yourself.
Marinette-Look,Nathenial and I were together for three years.Christmas was a really special time for us.
Felix-Maybe it's time to move on.
Marinette-I am just not ready to.(Leaves)
Felix-(Sighs)
