*follows him*

*They head up the street, which is entirely uncluttered by vehicles of any kind. Passing a group of children frolicking and singing in their play, they come upon a small building, slightly let back from the footpath. A small flight of stairs leads up from the door. Muffled music can be heard from inside.*

This seems interesting...

Mmmmm. Actually, we're going in there.
*points to opposite side of the street, where a similar building sits, unaddorned by music.*
Sorry.
*Heads across street.*

*stays where she is a while, shakes her head and heads after him*

*They head up the stairs, to where a maitre'd is waiting for them. They are conducted to two extremely plush red seats on the other side of the room, where the take their seats, staring at a red curtain.*

This place is nicely red...

It's the national colour.......the show's about to start.....
*the curtains draw back to reveal an empty stage, with just a few props near the back......a bedside table (sans bed), a low table and an 'ergonomic' chair with no back.*
'Cats' is about to begin.....

*glances at him*
Did you arrange this?

I may have said something....why?

Just wondering...

*gets ready to enjoy the show*

Oh, here, you may need this...*slips a special version of a Babel fish into her ear so she can understand Sundertanian.*

As the play is in Sundertanian, pending a Finnish translation, time will now skip to immediately after the performance.

So....did you like it?

I loved it!
Such great actors... And the music!

I know! Who would have thought that such an emotive performance could have given by a stuffed toy?

Well this is Sundertand...

Too true, too true....do you still want to go to that other building?

Not necessarily...

Yeah, these seats are pretty comfy......

I didn't mean we'd have to stay here, though...

*stops sinking luxuriously into his seat.*
Oh, okay.
*starts trying to get out of the chair, which has nearly engulfed him.*
