吧 fits the sentence much better, but she says it so fast, it sounds like ma. How do you tell the difference, it's so subtle.

@Steve You don't really even need to focus on that. You can tell from the context. `那我们赶紧就去...` sounds like a suggestion already so you can tell it's a 吧 (suggestive) and not a 吗 (question).

@Steve 那 and 就 both suggest this sentence is affirming/echoing something said earlier instead of asking a question, so it must be 吧.

What @Steve mean is, I guess, 嘛, which is not so important, but very interesting to address that, and quite similar to 吧 too, both suggestive.
