MARCELLO is on his way home from work and receives a credit card notification on his phone, stating an Uber trip from his girlfriend YUKI, to an address that’s not their home.

MARCELLO, muttering to himself

An Uber bill? From today? What’s she up to?

‍MARCELLO decides to call her, as he walks down to the metro corridor of Zuid Station. 

MARCELLO

C’mon. C’mon. Pick up, pick up, pick UP!

YUKI's voicemail

Heeyyy! It’s Yuki! Please leave a message at the beep.

Marcello, visibly annoyed, calls her for a second time.

YUKI, on the phone, out of breath

Hey baby, hello!

YUKI

I'm home! Almost. Walking from the supermarket now.

MARCELLO, in doubt

No. You're not?

YUKI

Hm? What do you mean, silly? I know where I am. You're doing overtime, no? Or ... Where are you?

MARCELLO

I'm leaving the metrostaton right now. So I'll be home soon. But I doubt you'll be there.

YUKI

Right. I'm taking a detour to get my step count for the day.

MARCELLO

Yuki. I know you're not home. I just got your Uber bill on my creditcard. You're at Mario's. Why?

YUKI remains quiet on the other end of the phone line, then hangs up.
