Matt: Afternoon, beautiful.
Anah: Is it now you’re waking up?
Matt: Yeah… why?
Anah: It’s twenty past three in the afternoon, Matt.
Matt: You sound like my mom.
Anah: That’s the least sexy thing you could ever possibly say to your girlfriend, Matt.
Matt: She’s the only one who ‘Matthew’s’ me all the time in that whiny voice.
Anah: Matthew?
Matt: Yeah, Matthew.
Matt: Oh no…
Anah: You’re name is Matthew?
Matt: No…
Anah: YES!!!
Matt: NO!!!
Anah: It so is… MATTHEW!
Matt: Damn it…
Matt: Fine… so how many does that bring your list down to?
Anah: With Matt Kennedy and Matt Miller off the list, that leaves four.
Matt: Four?
Anah: Yep!
Anah: Do I get a new clue now?
Matt: I think you’ve had your clue for the day.
Anah: Oh, come on!
Anah: That wasn’t a real clue!
Matt: Well, it’s the biggest clue you’re ever gonna get!
Anah: Oh, come on, Matthew!
Matt: Anah Rebecca Miller.
Anah: Oh, God. How do you know my middle name?!
Matt: I know everything…
Anah: But you don’t know why a river spits out balls of fire every year.
Matt: And neither do you.
Anah: Touché.
Matt: That’ll be the only touché I’ll ever get.
Anah: So, no clue?
Matt: No.
Anah: If you loved me…
Matt: Emotional blackmail?
Anah: Yes.
Matt: I don’t like it.
Anah: Pretty sure you’re not meant to.
Anah: Is it working?
Matt: No.
Anah: Worth a try…
Matt: Did you work out what the numbers mean?
Anah: *groan* No… I tried adding the numbers up, multiplying them etc., but nothing.
Matt: It has nothing to do with math…
Anah: Then I have no idea…
Anah: Can I get a clue, please?
Matt: No…
Anah: Pretty please with cherries on top?
Matt: Not even then.
Anah: I’ll give you cherries on top… do you know how much of a big deal that is for me?!
Matt: It’s not that big of a deal…
Anah: IT IS!
Matt: Babe, you only like cherry flavored thing, but not actual cherries!
Matt: Therefore… not a big deal.
Anah: I hate you for knowing me so well…
Matt: And with that attitude, you’re definitely not getting a clue today!
Anah: Ok, ok, ok… I take it back.
Anah: I love you.
Matt: You’re still not getting the clue.
Anah: I hate you.
Matt: Right, that’s it. You’re not getting a clue for the rest of the week!
Anah: WHAT?!
Anah: I LOVE YOU, MATTHEW!
Matt: I love you too, Penguin…
Matt: But no clues for you!
Anah: *screams*
Matt: *laughs*
