Matt: Hey, beautiful.
Matt: Your first clue is in your locker.
Anah: Oh, my God. You left me a sweatshirt.
Matt: Well, you asked for one, so I complied.
Anah: Can I wear it?
Matt: It’s not clean.
Anah: You left me a dirty sweatshirt?
Matt: You wanted it to smell like me…
Anah: I’m gonna wear it later… at home with no one around.
Matt: Did you guess what the clue is then?
Anah: Apart from the sweatshirt?
Matt: Yeah…
Anah: Uh, it has the German flag on the arm…
Anah: Why does it have the German flag on the arm?
Matt: I like German soccer.
Anah: I’m pretty sure you said that already.
Matt: I did?
Anah: Yeah.
Matt: Oh… I forgot. Hey, at least you have a piece of clothing that’s mine.
Matt: And it is my favorite thing from my closet… so look after it.
Anah: It was your favorite… now it’s my favorite.
Matt: I’m never getting it back, am I?
Anah: Nope. Like I said… holding everything to ransom.
Matt: Fine. Keep it.
Anah: Seriously?
Matt: Seriously. Keep it.
Anah: This feels like a trick.
Matt: It’s not.
Anah: A long con, then.
Matt: It’s me being a generous boyfriend.
