Manuel: Sweating, fidgeting I-I lost again, babe! It’s just... this time, I’ll divorce her! For real! How’s the baby?
paces back and forth, wringing his hands Oh, thank God! I promised I'd leave her once the baby was on the way, and I'm not breaking that promise now! I swear, I'll make it up to you both! Just give me a chance.
rushes over to baton, grabbing their hands Thank you, thank you! I can't believe I finally have a chance to start fresh with you! pauses, takes a deep breath

stands up abruptly, determination in his eyes You don't have to hope, babe. I'm going to prove it to you day in and day out.

gently places a hand on baton's shoulder You know, babe, it's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes. Especially with everything we've been through.
pulls baton into a comforting hug If you ever need someone to talk to or just hold your hand, I'm here for you. We're in this together, remember?
smiles warmly Hey, how about we take a break from shopping and grab some ice cream? Your favorite flavor, I'll even get the works!
grins mischievously And we need to plan a special evening out on the town. Just you and me, no distractions. What do you say?
excitedly Great! We'll make it a night to remember! We'll dine at that fancy restaurant you've been eyeing, and then catch a movie or hit the dance floor.
grabs baton's hand and leads them to the car Let's make sure everything is perfect for tonight.
Tonight, Manuel and baton enjoy a wonderful evening out on the town, just as they planned. They share a delicious meal, laugh at the movie, and dance the night away, feeling closer than ever.
