1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,760
Aha! So there's my favorite customer. I missed you this morning. Yeah, you didn't come in

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,260
at your usual time, so I got worried. Hmm, what happened? You find someone else to bake

3
00:00:15,260 --> 00:00:22,640
your Friday treat? Hmm? I'm only teasing. I know you wouldn't do that to me. You love

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:31,600
me too much. But what's been going on? You're never here at this time. I mean, it's late

5
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:37,080
in the afternoon. You always get here at like 9am sharp. I think it's pretty weird you're

6
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:46,920
dropping by now. Oh, you overslept? Were you late for work? Oh, that's not like you. I

7
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,980
hope you're taking care of yourself. Hmm, that's good to know. Can't have you missing

8
00:00:52,980 --> 00:01:02,600
out on our Friday morning chats now, can we? So, what? Are you free now? Then, would you

9
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,920
like to stay for a bit? We can spend some time catching up. Of course it's fine. Look

10
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:17,280
around. This place is surprisingly empty. Well, the daytime rush ended rather quickly today.

11
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,920
Right? You know how you have to fight for your place in the morning line. No, no, I

12
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,640
like seeing you up front. You always give me such a big goofy smile. It's a lovely

13
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:37,000
way to start my day. Blushing are we? My, I'm not used to seeing that. Is there perhaps

14
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:46,000
some other reason you decided to visit so late? Oh, I shouldn't worry about it. Sure

15
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,840
thing. Just take a seat over there, okay? I'm going to flip the sign on the door. It's

16
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:59,920
fine. I'm more than happy to close up early for you. So, can I get you anything? Your

17
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:07,160
regular order? Can't afford to miss it, huh? Would you like a coffee with that? Wonderful.

18
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:13,440
I think I'll have the same. Maybe I can find out why you love it so much. Don't you go

19
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:22,160
anywhere now. I'll be right back. And here we are. Your favorite butterscotch sticky

20
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,200
buns. I don't know how you can have this much sugar so early in the morning. Maybe

21
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:38,560
that's why you're so sweet. Yeah, I'll definitely need the coffee to cut through this. It's

22
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:46,760
the rest of the tray and I thought we could share. It's on me. Don't worry about it.

23
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:59,720
You're welcome. Cheers, by the way. Oh my god. I can see why you get these every Friday.

24
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:12,560
How sweet. Jesus. Literally? Apart from the little taste tests I do, it's not like I go

25
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,320
around eating all of my product. Especially like this. I can't have a sugar crash in the

26
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:29,560
middle of my day. But I forgot how damn good these tasted. Are they always this delicious?

27
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:39,440
Well, maybe it's the company then. So, what's been happening? Give me the news. Whatever

28
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:46,400
you want to tell me, really. Like, how's work? I know that's a bit of a boring question,

29
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,800
but I always see you before you head in. It'll be nice to hear what your day was like. Yeah,

30
00:03:52,800 --> 00:04:02,160
it's not like we have time like this when you usually come in. Go ahead. Okay. Wait,

31
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:12,000
what? Oh my god, you can't be serious. Oh, that reminds me. I have one of those really

32
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,720
awful customer horror stories to tell you. Yeah, I never get to tell you these, but this

33
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,200
guy comes in and asks for some brownies. And you know how I make them, right? I sprinkle

34
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,920
a bunch of walnuts on top for some presentation. So anyways, I give this guy his order, he

35
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:37,520
leaves. And like two seconds later, he comes back to the counter and flips out because

36
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:44,320
they're full of nuts. Exactly. You can see all the nuts on it. He even took a bite out

37
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,640
of one of them. How is that even possible? You look at your food before you eat it, don't

38
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:57,480
you? Anyways, I ended up replacing his order with something else to calm him down. I can

39
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:05,440
be quite diplomatic when I want to be. I was stunned. Seriously, the whole conversation

40
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:22,560
made no sense. Oh, one sec. No, you've got a little something. Got it. What? What's with

41
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,160
all the blushing today, huh? Is this what happens when I see you for more than like

42
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:36,240
five minutes? Maybe we should do this more often. I like seeing the side of you. No,

43
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:48,320
it's very cute. Don't shy away from it. Okay, I'll stop. I don't want to scare you off.

44
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:59,720
Work aside, what's new? You started baking? That's wonderful. Any specific reason for

45
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:08,240
that? Of course, it's not weird. I'm just nosy. Maybe I could even teach you some time.

46
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:14,880
I can't give you all my secret recipes, but I could definitely show you a thing or two.

47
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:22,960
We can make it a fun little baking date. Oh, speaking of, did you see the sign outside?

48
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,240
I made something new today. It was pretty surprising how much the customers liked it.

49
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:37,720
Well, it was a new recipe, so I didn't know what to expect. Oh, you flatter me. It was

50
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:45,480
super popular. They're actually all sold out. Oh, look at that face. I'll be making them

51
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:55,000
again. Don't you worry about that. But guess what? I did save a piece for you. Well, why

52
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,080
wouldn't I? When you didn't come in this morning, I put some on the side. I was kind of hoping

53
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:06,760
you'd still come in today so you could try them. You're very welcome. Let me go grab

54
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:19,120
some for you. I know you have one hell of a sweet tooth, so there is no way I was going

55
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:31,120
to let you miss out on this. Eat up. It's good, right? Oh my God, that smile. I'm so

56
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,880
glad you like it. I was really looking forward to seeing your face when you tasted it. Are

57
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:50,480
you eating like this on purpose? Oh, sure you aren't. You're one sly guy. Come here.

58
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Give me your cheek. What's the matter? You want me to stop that? Then maybe you should

59
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:07,040
stop being so cute. Okay, listen. Before you get any more flustered and I end up chasing

60
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:14,040
you away, I think it's time you tell me why you're really here. Oh, I know you're here

61
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,920
for a reason. A lot of my regulars would have gone about their day if they didn't come in

62
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:26,800
for their order. But you just couldn't stay away, could you? Are my pastries that irresistible?

63
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Or maybe it's me you keep coming back for. You still want to play innocent? Okay, then

64
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:46,760
cutie, how about this? I'd like to take you out sometime and I would love it if you said

65
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:55,920
yes. Caught you on the back foot there, did I? I would love to see more of you outside

66
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:03,060
of our Friday morning meetings. And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't mind it either. We've seen

67
00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:12,040
each other every single Friday for ages. You're so sweet. Of course I have a thing for you.

68
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:24,600
So I take that it's a yes? Wonderful. Hmm? Oh, I had a feeling you wanted to ask me out.

69
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,800
I told you it was weird for you to be dropping by so late. Why did you think I was being

70
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:38,280
so flirty this entire time? I thought I could fluster you into telling me. I don't want

71
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:47,640
to say you weren't subtle, but how can I put this? Ah, you know when you're ordering at

72
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:55,080
the counter? You don't look behind you, do you? Well, there's always a bunch of my other

73
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:02,160
customers, my other regulars, rolling their eyes at you. I'm pretty sure they've all

74
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:09,920
been waiting for you to make a move. They might even cheer next Friday. Oh, they're

75
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:16,780
rather shrewd. I bet they'll pick up on it immediately. Don't worry about them, hon.

76
00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:22,560
You should worry about getting home, though. I think it's about time I close up for real

77
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:29,720
now. Give me a call tomorrow, okay? My number's on the cup. I can't believe you didn't notice

78
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:38,960
it after all this time. Hmm? No, no, no. Don't even think about paying. I said those sweets

79
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:47,840
were on me. And, um, so is this. Mm-hmm. My treat.
