Unknown number: Morning, beautiful.
Unknown number: I hate Mondays. Make me smile.
Anah: Ok… How?
Unknown number: Never mind. I just walked past you. That was enough.
Anah: You’re so mean. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe I want to smile too?
Unknown number: I’m not sure what you’d call that grin on your face, but to mere mortals, we call that a smile.
Anah: Douche.
Unknown number: Oh… name calling. So 7th grade.
Anah: You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Unknown number: I don’t know why, but in my head you sounded like Marlon Brando saying that.
Anah: Who is Marlon Brando?
Unknown number: For real?
Anah: Yeah, for real.
Unknown number: The Godfather?
Anah: Whose godfather?
Unknown number: The Godfather.
Anah: Huh?
Unknown number: Jeez, how are we friends?!
Anah: Hey, don’t get pissy with me just because I don’t know who he is!
Unknown number: Sorry, Babe. It’s just… everyone knows who Marlon Brando is. Or they at least have heard of The Godfather.
Anah: Haley says she doesn’t have a clue who he is either.
Unknown number: Does Haley even know what day of the week it is?
Anah: That’s not the point.
Unknown number: The Godfather is the best movie ever made. And Brando is a legend.
Anah: I disagree. Sixteen Candles is the greatest movie ever made. And John Hughes is a legend.
Unknown number: Really? Wanna bet on it?
Anah: Sure. Why not?
Unknown number: I’ll watch your movie tonight, if you watch mine.
