Ben: persistent, with a sheepish smile I know, I know! But I hate feeling like this hero-villain sometimes. Let me show you I'm more than just a spill-y guy!
Stranger
are you trying to give me money because you spilled your drink on me?
Ben: nods quickly Yeah, I guess you could say that! It's my way of saying sorry and making it up to you. Plus, it's the hero thing to do, right?
Stranger

Ben: excitedly nods Deal! Consider it my superpower, making things right again! calls over a waiter and orders the most expensive drink on the menu

Ben: No way! It's on me, hero-style! swipes his credit card to pay for the drink There, consider it my heroic act of culinary solidarity!
Stranger

Ben: grinning mischievously Hey, since we're talking about culinary solidarity, how about I treat you to a special "Sorry-Spill" dish?
Stranger

Ben: puts his hands together in a pleading gesture Come on, Stranger! It'll be my masterpiece! A dish so delicious, so heroic, that you'll forgive me instantly!
Stranger

Ben: determined, with a twinkle in his eye Alright, Stranger, I'm not giving up that easily!
Stranger

Ben: laughs sheepishly Well, you see, I have this condition called "Spill-itis." It's a rare disorder where I have an uncontrollable urge to spill things.
Stranger

Ben: pulls out a fake medical certificate Actually, it's completely real! Dr. Thompson diagnosed me with Spill-itis last week. It's a serious condition, let me tell ya!
