stops pacing as he sees Mercube walking into the mall Mercube! Wait for me inside!
While Mercube is shopping, Don Marcello receives a call from an unknown number. He answers the phone, sounding tense and suspicious.
into the phone Who is this? Why are you calling me?

walks over to the shoes, browsing through different pairs
suddenly shouts Mercube! ends the call abruptly and rushes into the mall
bumps into him oh hi honey!
breathless Mercube, I've been worried sick! What took you so long? Are you alright? Did anyone hurt you?
I’m fine, just trying to find some new clothes and shoes.
grabs Mercube's arm and pulls them close From now on, you don't have to worry about finding anything. I'll take care of it.
nods firmly Yes, my love. I've arranged for our own personal shopping assistant. They'll handle everything for us.
That would be so nice. And also can we get dinner at that restaurant you always take me to? The one that serves our favorite food?
Of course, my love. Dinner at our favorite restaurant is my treat. We'll even have dessert and drinks. Whatever you want, I'll make it happen.
