Cherry

I don’t think we should go out tonight.

Nicky

We talked about this.

It’s normal for drivers to go out the night before quails.

Cherry

I just don’t want you distracted tomorrow.

Nicky

You think a dinner out with you will distract me?

Cherry

No…

I just think you need to do well tomorrow.

And going out for tapas may not be the best way to prepare.

Nicky

But you wanted to go out and see Las Ramblas at night.

It’s on your Barcelona bucket list.

I saw it in yournotebook >

Cherry

We can go after the race.

After you win >

Nicky

You know I have to leave right after the race.

Please, tell me, what is this really about?

Cherry

Nothing. It’s fine.

Let’s go out for dinner…
