=== Boucheron & Goldmary ===
--- C ---


[Goldmary]
Hello, Boucheron. I hope you don't mind that
I made lunch for you.
[Boucheron]
Oh, really? Just for me, huh?
[Goldmary]
Just for you. The main course is chicken
on skewers with roasted vegetables.
[Goldmary]
The sides include a small omelet, some lightly
toasted bread, and fresh fruit for a treat.
[Boucheron]
This is incredible. Not only does it smell great,
the presentation is practically professional.
[Goldmary]
I'm sorry if it looks too perfect. Disturbing it
must feel like upsetting the world's balance.
[Goldmary]
But I hope you can find the courage. I made it
especially for you, after all.
[Boucheron]
Don't worry, I'm about to dig in right now.
[Boucheron]
...
[Boucheron]
It tastes as good as it smells! This might be one
of the most delicious meals I've ever had.
[Goldmary]
I'm sorry, but...is that really all you have to say?
[Boucheron]
Come again?
[Goldmary]
It seems like I deserve a bit more praise than
that. And could you speak up, please?
[Boucheron]
You want more compliments? What else is
there to say?
[Goldmary]
What else is there to say?
[Goldmary]
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to answer
such a dim-witted question.
[Boucheron]
This got spicy all of sudden.
[Goldmary]
There are infinite ways to compliment
perfection. You barely gave me one.
[Goldmary]
Surely you can think of at least a few more?
[Boucheron]
You know, Goldmary, I'm starting to get the
idea that you're a little bit demanding.

[Goldmary]
Thank you for all your kind praise about the
lunch I made for you last time.
[Boucheron]
Well, you practically held me at swordpoint.
[Goldmary]
Your compliments made me so happy that
I decided to prepare another meal for you.
[Boucheron]
Thanks, but I brought my own sandwich today.
[Goldmary]
You won't be satisfied with that once you see
what I have here.
[Boucheron]
Whoa!
[Goldmary]
Fluffy scrambled eggs, seared scallops wrapped
in bacon... And more fresh fruit, of course.
[Goldmary]
I'm sorry if my peerless skill elevates this simple
dish to unbearable heights of divinity.
[Boucheron]
...
[Boucheron]
It's tempting, don't get me wrong. But I'll stick
with my sandwich all the same.
[Goldmary]
Are you really going to cast aside this golden
perfection and content yourself with trash?
[Boucheron]
...
[Goldmary]
If that's really what you want, I guess I'll have
to throw this away.
[Boucheron]
Hey now, don't let it go to waste! I'll eat it,
I'll eat it!
[Boucheron]
...
[Boucheron]
It's divine! The moment it hits my tongue, every
inch of me shudders with joy!
[Goldmary]
Not a bad opening remark... But you must have
more to say than that.
[Boucheron]
Are you kidding me?
[Goldmary]
You did well last time, but I hope you won't get
complacent. Strive to outdo yourself.
[Boucheron]
What I said just now wasn't enough?!
[Goldmary]
You made one general comment. What about
each individual component? Don't be neglectful.
[Goldmary]
You could also stand to give an opinion or two
about my aesthetic choices.
[Goldmary]
I know it's overwhelming, but if you can't do it,
I'll have to stop you from eating any more.
[Boucheron]
Ooh, what a pain. I knew this would happen,
but somehow I fell for it anyway...
[Goldmary]
Has this meal made you so tongue-tied that you
can't give me even one little compliment?
[Goldmary]
If it's hurt you that badly, I should knock it
out of you before it does any more damage...
[Boucheron]
Uh, no need for that! I'll compliment you all
you want. Just keep your hands to yourself...

[Goldmary]
...
[Boucheron]
Is that you, Goldmary? Why are you sitting here
in the dark?
[Goldmary]
Oh, hello, Boucheron...
[Goldmary]
I've made meals for just about everyone now,
and I've barely gotten any praise at all.
[Goldmary]
They all said I was asking for too much. So now
I feel like giving up...
[Boucheron]
Poor you. Those guys have a lot to learn.
[Goldmary]
You think so?
[Boucheron]
They don't understand how demanding you are.
You're practically a world champion at it.
[Boucheron]
Me, though, I'm used to it by now. I even think
it's kind of cute.
[Goldmary]
Boucheron... I'm so glad.
[Boucheron]
Being demanding is just your way of being
charming.
[Boucheron]
And so long as I think so, who cares what
anyone else thinks?
[Goldmary]
Oh, thank you. I feel so much better.
[Goldmary]
And now that my smile is worth a million gold
again, I'll have to pay you back in cooking.
[Boucheron]
Cooking?
[Goldmary]
That's right. I'm going to make you a regular
lunch from now on.
[Boucheron]
You mean right now?
[Goldmary]
Don't worry. I won't make you shower me
endlessly with praise.
[Goldmary]
You've already given me enough of that to last
a lifetime.
[Goldmary]
So from now on, all you need to do is relax
and enjoy what I make for you.
[Boucheron]
I wouldn't mind handing out more compliments
if it means making you happy.
[Goldmary]
Really? You mean it?
[Boucheron]
What's wrong?
[Goldmary]
I hope you don't mind a little extra salt. You're
just so kind...I couldn't hold back my tears.
[Boucheron]
Tears? Oh no...
[Boucheron]
Just hearing the word makes me want to cry!
[Goldmary]
Ah... You're such a sensitive person...
[Goldmary]
I admire that about you, Boucheron...
It's very charming.
[Goldmary]
I'll get to the cooking. I can't wait to hear
everything you have to say about it.
[Boucheron]
Haha, you cook up more food, I'll cook up more
praise, and we'll both come out ahead.
