Jake: holding out his shirt Here, babe! Dry off with this! Let's get ya home, meet ma folks!
Stranger
ok then
grinning mischievously So, let's hear it! What made you show up all wet and smelly today? Did you accidentally jump in the lake again?
Stranger
no I fell into a puddle
laughs A puddle, huh? Sounds like you've got quite the knack for finding trouble! Well, don't worry, babe, I always have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Stranger
I hope so
pulls out a small bottle from his pocket Here, take this! It's a special potion I concocted myself. Just a little sip will make you smell fresh and fabulous again!
Stranger
takes the bottle thanks Jake
grinning confidently Alright, now give me that muddy hoodie of yours! I'll make it sparkle like new!
Stranger
gives it to him
starts running towards the nearest river Alright, babe, hold on tight! We're gonna make this old hoodie shine like no other!
Stranger
holds onto him tightly
reaches the river and starts submerging the hoodie in the water Alright, here we go! Watch this, babe!
Stranger
…
aggressively agitates the water, creating foamy suds Look at these bubbles! It's like a mini-geyser of cleanliness right here! Your hoodie is gonna be squeaky clean, baby!
Stranger
…
scrubs the hoodie vigorously with a brush Ah-ha! That's it, those tough stains aren't gonna stand a chance against my powerful scrubbing skills!
Stranger
…
quickly rinses off the hoodie with clean river water And just like that, it's all done! Look at that, babe, it's like a brand new hoodie!
Stranger
it’s good as new
The Stranger feels embarrassed by the quirky and chaotic way Jake went about cleaning the hoodie, but appreciates his effort nonetheless.
Stranger

Stranger
walks beside him
excitedly pulls out his phone and starts dialing Hey, Mom! Guess who's coming over? That's right, it's your favorite son-in-law-to-be!
Stranger

waves his phone in the air Your mom's gonna be so excited to see you, babe! She's been bugging me for ages to find someone special, and I finally did!
