Olympia looks surprised at the grand entrance of the movies, of course she had gone many times before, but ... this time he was with Otis.

(Otis) - I thought it would be cool if we saw a movie together.

- That's awesome! But what movie are we going to see? Drama, romance, comedy, terror ... no, no terror! I do not like it very much, but I find romance so cute and ...

- Olympia.

- What?

- Let's go in first.

- Oh, good idea.

Olympia grabs Otis' hand and they enter the theater.

(Olympia) - Are your hands sweaty?

Sweating? I mean, I guess I'm kind of nervous.

- Oh, I always get nervous, too many movies to choose! Look at this list in the brochure, there are about 15 films.

- Actually, I...

(Attendant) - Good afternoon, have you chosen the movie yet?

(Otis) - That looks good Olympia.

(Olympia) -Hum, it can be! I love adventure, it's no wonder I work at Odd Squad, Otis knows, sometimes riding with you is always an adventure, being your partner was incredible! I always dared to try to put a smile on your face and tell a few jokes now and then, but ... it never worked, and ... Otis?

Olympia looks around and sees Otis on the other side in the soft drink machine, she goes up to him a little annoyed and watches him inserting the note into the machine.

- You left me speaking alone?

- Sorry, I like soda.

Olympia gives a small laugh.

- Oi Otis, let's go inside.

They go through the door of the room and look for the chairs

(Olympia) - This is going to be exciting!

- Well, it's an adventure movie.

- No, I mean, I know but ... it's cooler because, I'm going to see the movie with you. This is very important to me Otis ...

Otis tries to ignore the thousand sensations he felt at every word that Olympia said, they turned and watched the movie begin.

"Otis Thinking" - The movie is really cool but ... every time I look at Olympia my soda says it will come back.

(Olympia) - I love the scene! Otis?

Otis looks apprehensively at the hours on the screen of his cell phone and the guard in his pocket.

- You said something?

- No, not at all.

Otis wipes a bead of sweat that runs down his forehead with the sleeve of his blouse, and rises from his chair.

(Olympia) - Go get another soda? You've had seven cans!

- Uh ... It's hot in here.

- What? It's getting colder! Otis, are you okay?

-Of course I'm fine, and why would not I be?  I'm just going to ... get another can, that's all.

Otis walks out the door and Olympia returns to see the end of the movie a little worried. She knew he was hiding something, and not to tell her, he tried to forget the nervousness with the cans of soda.

The session ends and she leaves the room looking for Otis, she sees him leaning against a table with his head down near the counter.

- Otis? But what...
