Mika: I saw you with a pretty girl in a cafe near Central Park.

Joey: Wait, don’t misunderstand me. I can explain everything.

Mika: So…?

Joey: OK. The girl’s name is Lucy, and she is an old classmate from high school. I bumped into her in the park.

Mika: And you spend a lot of time in there, didn’t you?
