Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
Evening. I have been first in line for this exhibit since four. Do you always read the room with your hands?
Only when someone is lying with theirs. Yours have been still for a full minute, which is suspicious or very restful.
Restful. I stood eleven hours today for a stranger concert tickets. This is my holiday.
Do you ever get tempted to take the front spot yourself?
The challenge
Every time. That is the tragedy and the joy of the job.
Same job then. Mine has a silent audience and a magician who panics.
Tell me about the panic. I collect other peoples worst queues.
He once forgot the word for dove and signed it as a small angry hand.
The decision
That is the best queue story I have heard this year, and I have heard four hundred.
Then keep my place, will you? I will be back with cocoa.
Then keep my place, will you? I will be back with cocoa.
I will hold it. Hands in my pockets, so you know I am telling the truth.

The date
First impressions
Tobias claims first place in line for a closed exhibit; Pilar reads his still hands and approves.
The challenge
They trade war stories about queues and panicking magicians until the dove story lands.
The decision
Each promises to hold the others place, and both mean it.
The twist
Both turn out to be better at waiting than at leaving.
The finale
They part as friends, with a plan to queue together for something absurd.
Ending: A second date
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
The box score
How this was scored
A second date: chemistry 72 and attraction 64 carried it (a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry most). Endings read where the numbers finished, not how far they moved. By the numbers: a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry 45%, attraction 30% and trust 20%, minus 40% of awkwardness. This one came out +15.5 against an ordinary date: friends needs +11.0, a second date +16.0. Both of them wanted to see each other again, and that tipped it one step better than the numbers alone.
“Hands in my pockets, so you know I am telling the truth.”

Guess the dealbreaker
Tobias Wren's real dealbreaker was anyone who cuts in line, even metaphorically. You didn't guess this one.
You didn't predict this one.
