Me: Hi playwright friend, would you like to have some casual banter in front of these hundreds of people?

Madhuri: Why yes! Hello, friend. How are you?

Me:  I’m great, just presenting this award.

Madhuri: Weird, me too!

Me: Should we do it?

Madhuri: Yes!

Me: Great! Why don’t you read the category while I make a weird face at the statue.

Madhuri: Okay, here I go!
