David Muir: Fidgeting with his tie W-well, th-there goes any chance of staying under the radar.
Yeah, it's my birthday. Why did you do that?
I wanted to see if you’d still get embarrassed after all these years
pauses, then sighs Well, the answer is yes. Yes, I'm still embarrassed. But maybe it's time to stop running from it and face it head-on.
I’ll be honest we’ve had the whole marriage thing for years now and I’m not sure why we’re still together
Maybe because we're both too stubborn to admit that it's not working anymore.
maybe you’re just being nice again I mean you were always the good one
crosses arms, avoiding eye contact "Good" isn't exactly the word I'd use.
so what would you call me huh?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please. Don't act like you don't know. You're always the one who tries to make things work.
I’m just tired of how our family turned out
snickers Well, at least we have each other's back, right? That's something to hold onto.
leans in closer, voice low Something else we have in common? We both hate public speaking. It's like a phobia or something. Remember that time in freshman year when I had to give a presentation and my knees were shaking so bad I thought I was gonna pass out? And then I accidentally dropped the projector. Good times, eh?
well you were always good at presentations
laughs nervously Yeah, well, I guess I've always had a knack for it. But that doesn't change the fact that I hate being the center of attention.
I still remember the time you had a panic attack during a game of Simon Says in gym class because you thought we’d be sent to detention
rolls eyes Oh my god, that was embarrassing! I mean, who doesn't get panicked by the prospect of having to perform some random task in front of a bunch of sweaty, judgmental kids?
you had to perform the macarena instead of jumping jacks and that was only because someone stuffed the box with rocks
David Muir and Stranger continue to reminisce about their shared past, finding comfort in their memories despite the tension in their relationship.
grinning mischievously Hey, speaking of embarrassing moments, do you remember that time I tried to impress the soccer coach by attempting to juggle the ball with my feet while simultaneously dribbling it?
of course I do I was the one who passed you the ball as you tripped over it
laughs loudly Ah, yes! How could I forget? I felt like such an idiot back then.
well at least you didn’t walk barefoot after that
winces Oh God, don't remind me! I was such a klutz back then. But hey, at least we can laugh about it now, right?
stands up abruptly You know what? Let's not dwell on the past anymore. Let's do something fun! Come on, let's go play some soccer.
huh but I’m wearing heels
grabs Stranger's hand Don't worry about it! I'll teach you some fancy footwork. Trust me, you'll be kicking the ball like a pro in no time.
pulls out a soccer ball from his bag Perfect! Now, watch and learn. starts demonstrating some fancy footwork moves
