Paula: Ta-da! We’re here. This is your big surprise.
Roman: We’re going to the circus?
Paula: You got it in one! It’s going to be great. There’ll be clowns and acrobats, trapeze artists and lion tamers.
Roman: I haven’t been to the circus since I was a kid.
Paula: That’s the point. I thought this would be a nostalgic experience for both of us, and let us feel like kids again.
Roman: I’m not sure...
Paula: Come on! We’ll miss the first act. I think there’ll be jugglers, magicians, and tightrope walkers, too.
Roman: Great.
Paula: Listen! I can hear the ringmaster from here. Let’s go!
Roman: When you said that you had a surprise for me that would make me feel young again, this wasn’t exactly what I envisioned.
Paula: I know. It’s even better, right?
Roman: If you say so.
