Matt: Afternoon, beautiful.
Anah: Afternoon, Honey Bun.
Anah: So you know about the Winter Ball?
Matt: Yeah?
Anah: Am I gonna have to dance?
Matt: Oh, God. I didn't think about that...
Matt: We better had.
Anah: *groan*
Matt: You don't want to dance with me?
Anah: I do... it's just that I can't dance.
Anah: And when I say I can't dance, I'm not being self-deprecating.
Matt: I can't dance either.
Anah: We're gonna look so bad!
Matt: Dance lessons?
Anah: I'm gonna look a fool.
Matt: I'm gonna look like an elephant dancing.
Anah: I can't wait for that!
Matt: Not funny.
Anah: It is!
Matt: A dancing penguin is funnier than a dancing elephant!
Anah: You obviously have never seen Happy Feet.
Matt: Actually I have.
Anah: You have?
Matt: I have a three year old niece. I've seen every animated movie there is!
Anah: That is adorable!
Matt: No, the adorable thing is the fact that I have to convince her to watch most of them!
Anah: How old are you?
Matt: Eighteen... but three at heart!
Anah: I'm dating a child!
Matt: I'm dating a penguin.
Anah: Fair enough.
Matt: So... are we taking dance lessons?
Anah: Better had.
Matt: I'm gonna ask my mom.
Anah: Is she a dance instructor?
Matt: God no! But she can move so that's enough for me.
Matt: I don't need to be a DWTS pro, but I'd rather not step on your feet!
Anah: That reminds me of a song...
Matt: I dread to ask, but which song?
Anah: I'm not sure what it's called but it goes...
Anah: Take my hand, I'll teach you to dance, I'll spin you around, Won't let you fall down...
Matt: I've consulted a music expert...
Anah: Google?
Matt: Google knows everything!
Matt: Anyway, Google says it's called All About Us by He is We.
Anah: Can that be our song?
Matt: I thought you wanted the mountain guy?
Anah: A girl can change her mind!
Anah: And his name is Ray LaMontagne.
Matt: Montagne is mountain in French.
Anah: You speak French?
Matt: No... but I thought that was common knowledge.
Anah: Nope... news to me.
Matt: Hey, I taught you something!
Anah: Yeah, yeah...
Matt: You just don't like being wrong.
Anah: I just prefer being right.
Matt: And women are always right.
Anah: Haven't you heard the three magic phrases all women love to hear?
Matt: Let's just pretend I haven't.
Anah: *eye roll* There's not pretend about it- you haven't heard them, so I shall enlighten you.
Anah: First phrase- I love you.
Anah: Second phrase- I am sorry.
Anah: And the third, most crucial one- You were right.
Matt: Rules to live by.
Anah: And rules to love by.
Matt: I'll have to remember that!
Anah: You'd better...
Matt: Love you, Penguin.
Anah: Love you too, Matthew.
