SEASON 4 - LUKANETTE

LUKANETTE S4 - QILIN - PT 2

Back in the art classroom, the class has finished and the room is empty and Sabine packs up her uneaten choquettes in the bakery bag and leaves.

Outside the Collège Françoise Dupont, Sabine walks out and down to a nearby bus station. She turns on her phone, which says 11:05, and calls Marinette.

Marinette: "Hey mom!"

Sabine: "Hey sweetie! You have exactly four choquettes to show up."

She hangs up and the bus arrives and Sabine gets on. 'Good day sir. Would you mind if I put this here while I look for my wallet?' She puts down the bag of choquettes.

'Oh wow, choquettes!' the bus driver says.

Sabine smiles. 'A few left over from my class. They're homemade. You'd be doing me a favour by eating them, as long as it doesn't hold up the bus.'

The bus driver smiles. 'Well, if I can be of service to a commuter!' He takes and eats one choquette. 'Mm, exquisite!' He takes another choquette. 'Mmm, delicious!' Takes a third choquette. 'Scrumptious!' Takes one more choquette and starts licking his fingers.

Marinette suddenly arrives out of breath from running.

'EHH! I'm here!' she breathes, leaning on her knees trying to catch her breath.

'This is my daughter Marinette, who I'm certain did not forget her bus ticket' Sabine smiles.

Marinette gasps. 'Oh shoot! Um well- uh, the thing is- '

'Marinette, I asked you to remember it' Sabine replied.

'Ah it's no biggie I'll just buy one!' she replies, digging into her purse. 'Ahh no I forgot my change!' she said sadly.

'Luckily, I've always got a few spares!' Sabine smiles, holding up two tickets.

'Thanks, super mom!' Marinette replies as she hugs and kisses her mom on the cheek.

Sabine scans their tickets on the scanner and puts them in her wallet as they begin to walk through the aisle.

A passenger is on the phone: "Mhm mhm, look. In terms of the process, when it comes to the re-evaluation of the online-offline products, the market demands a high yield in terms of productivity see what I mean? Mhm."

He is standing in the handicapped area of the bus while a person in a wheelchair is struggling to move.

Sabine walks over to the passenger. 'Hello sir. Would you be so kind as to let this person access the spot that's reserved for their use?'

The passenger replies with a frustrated tone. 'Hey I'm on a conference call here!' – "So, what I was saying- Yeah I mean concomitantly with the situational adaptability, the direct manager should make the negotiable systems converge."

Sabine forms a plan, which shows up in a yellow background with trees, using a traffic light, the rude passenger, a gear on the handicapped person's wheelchair and a paintbrush. Sabine places the paintbrush on the floor in front of the rude passenger.

The rude passenger keeps talking on the phone. "No, no, no we need a strong plan. If we aren't flexible regarding our immobilized relations then we're gonna get cre-." The bus slows and pulls to a stop at a corner, the passenger on the phone trips on the paintbrush Sabine placed on the floor. The person in the wheelchair is moved uncontrollably to the handicapped area.

Sabine smiles. 'Thank you, sir, your sense of civic responsibility is much appreciated.'

The people on the bus quietly clap for Sabine.

Marinette joins them, as she looks to Sabine, surprised then pleased.

'Way to go Mom!' Marinette says.
