It was long, so I left the art unfinished, as usual. And it has everybody in it! Maurice on the phone. The tall, quiet guy is Ren. Jon is the blond in the wheelchair. Ella serving food and Cathy is the little one with the headband. It's like a character guide!
Translation:
Maurice, in Vietnamese: "Only English. There's no French."
"Oh! I'll ask her."
Maurice, in Spanish: "Cathy, do you speak Spanish?"
Cathy, in French: "I understand a little, but can't speak it."
Maurice, in Vietnamese then switching to English: "No go, Ma. Okay, I'll find out more and call back later. Bye, Ma!"
Ella: "How do you switch languages like that?!"
Maurice: "It's not easy. Everything gets mixed up in my head and I have to sort it out before I speak."
Ella: "Well, I'm impressed. You're like a one-man UN."
Maurice: "I swear I'm not."
