The display case! I wonder if it still has my trophies. [footsteps, fingers tapping glass, gasp] "Local Boy Wins the Meta-Martial Arts Tournament." [long sigh, pause] Wait... who is that in the background of the photo? [pause] Lisa? Kim? [sigh] Are they angry with each other? They don't look happy. They weren't like this. This is wrong.

- Ramona Flowers: Um... No, that's okay. You just have to sign for this alright?
- Scott Pilgrim: I just woke up, and you were in my dream. I dreamt you were delivering me this package. Is that weird?
- Ramona Flowers: It's not weird at all... [pause] Well, I mean... it's kinda weird. Sure, but you're psychic, right? [pause] So it's not weird to you, right? You get it.
- Scott Pilgrim: Sure... but... I'm still confused.
- Ramona Flowers: [sigh] That's fair. It's just like, your aura acts as this really convenient subspace nexus. When I slip into the Dreaming within fifteen miles of you, I tend to show up in your dreams... or hell, even your daydreams, I guess. Look, I'm not invading your privacy or anything, it's just-
- Scott Pilgrim: You're... talking crazy talk.
- Ramona Flowers: Did they not teach this in your precious little Canadian super-school?
- Scott Pilgrim: Um... I'm a musician.
- Ramona Flowers: Okay... What does that have to do with-?
- Scott Pilgrim: I didn't really pay attention in science.
- Ramona Flowers: It's like... a rapid transit subspace highway in your brain.
- Scott Pilgrim: Is it like in Super Mario 2?
- Ramona Flowers: Ummm.... No? Actually... I don't know.
- Scott Pilgrim: You don't remember me, do you? I met you at the party the other day.
- Ramona Flowers: Were you the Pac-Man guy?
- Scott Pilgrim: No! Not even... [nervous chuckle] That was some other ass. I was the other guy. [pause, nervous chuckle] You're Ramona Flowers, right?
- Ramona Flowers: That's me.
- Scott Pilgrim: So, you're like American?
- Ramona Flowers: [scoff] Am I coming off that rude?
- Scott Pilgrim: Not at all. Nooo... [chuckle]
- Ramona Flowers: You know... you need to sign for this. Whatever this I [clatter, paper crinkling]
- Scott Pilgrim: It's something really cool. You'd be impressed.
- Ramona Flowers: You still have to sign.
- Scott Pilgrim: But if I sign for it, you'll leave.
- Ramona Flowers: Yeah, that's how it works. [pause] I have a job... I'm on the clock. I've got other packages to deliver.
- Scott Pilgrim: Okay well, can we just maybe just hang out sometime? Get to know each other? You're the new kid on the block, right? I've lived here forever and so there are... reasons for you to hang out with me, right? So... Yeah...
- Ramona Flowers: I need to find a new route... [sigh] You want to hang out with me? [pause] Why?
- Scott Pilgrim: You are like... my dream girl. [pause] Literally.
- Ramona Flowers: You're all over the place.
- Scott Pilgrim: Okay, so you can go find a new route or whatever, or you can hang out with me... Who knows, maybe I'll grow on you... like a fungus.
