Matt: Morning, beautiful.
Anah: Hey.
Matt: Why do you look like you're plotting something?
Anah: *innocent face* I am not.
Matt: *sighs* That's a yes.
Anah: Today is initiation day.
Matt: Initiation of what?
Anah: The Get Maggie and Sutter Together plan.
Matt: You're actually gonna do this?
Anah: Yeah... why? Don't you think it's a good idea?
Matt: It's a terrible idea.
Anah: It's a stroke of genius, Matthew.
Matt: A recipe for disaster... that's what this is.
Anah: You doubt my matchmaking skills?
Matt: In a way, yeah...
Anah: Whatever. I'm still gonna do it.
Matt: Fine... Then I shall support you.
Matt: But I reserve the right to say 'I told you so' at the end.
Anah: As do I.
Matt: What's the first phase?
Anah: I'm gonna drag Haley and Maggie over to crash their lunch.
Matt: Because that won't be suspicious.
Anah: I'm as subtle as a... a... a...
Matt: A...?
Anah: Ok, so I'm not subtle at all, but that's not the point.
Matt: And once you crash their lunch... what happens next?
Anah: A group date.
Matt: A group date?
Anah: Yep. Maggie and Sutter. Ben and Haley. Jake and Eden. And me.
Matt: Three couples... and you?
Anah: Ah... a flaw in my flawless plan.
Matt: *smirks* Flawless plan?
Anah: Don't knock it, Honey Bun.
Matt: What's Plan B?
Anah: Oh, wait! I've got it!
Anah: Brenton Lewis.
Matt: *narrow eyes* Come again?
Anah: He owes me... After he went all pervy on me, he owes me.
Matt: Definitely not linking this plan.
Anah: Well, unless you're gonna unmask yourself and come along with me, Brenton is all I have.
Matt: *gritted teeth* I HATE THIS PLAN!
Anah: Yeah, well. Suck it up because I'm about to go into the lion's den.
Matt: Huh?
Anah: It's a metaphor... I'm approaching their lunch table.
Matt: Good luck. Let me know how much this bombs by!
Anah: Yeah, yeah... *eye roll*
Anah: This is strange...
Matt: What?
Anah: They're getting along.
Matt: I thought that was what you wanted.
Anah: It was...
Matt: But?
Anah: They're getting along!
Matt: Again... I thought this was what you wanted.
Matt: Or isn't it?
Anah: No... it's what I wanted.
Matt: Liar.
Matt: Are you jealous?
Anah: What? No!
Matt: Then what's with the death glare that you're giving Maggie?
Anah: I am not giving her a death glare.
Matt: I can feel it from all the way over here.
Anah: And where exactly is here?
Matt: Away from the imminent fall out zone.
Anah: Whatever.
Anah: I am not jealous.
Matt: I should hope not!
Anah: Exactly. I have you...
Matt: The question is... do I have you?
Anah: Of course you do!
Matt: Just making sure.
Anah: Ok... I'll admit that it's a little... difficult to watch them flirt... but I am not jealous.
Anah: Surely you know what it's like to see your old crush flirting with someone else.
Matt: Nope.
Matt: But I do know what it's like to have my girlfriend getting jealous over her old crush's flirtation with someone else!
Anah: *gasps*
Anah: Oh, my God! Matt.... I am so sorry.
Anah: I wasn't thinking.
Anah: I didn't mean anything by it! I swear!
Matt: Are you crying?
Anah: *sniffles* No.
Matt: Babe... I was just messing around! Don't cry! *hug*
Anah: I am so sorry!
Anah: You were right! This plan was stupid!
Matt: No, it wasn't. Maybe this is what you need.
Anah: What? Getting jealous over an old crush?
Matt: As crazy as it sounds... yeah.
Anah: That does sound crazy!
Matt: Get it out of your system. Watch him move on.
Anah: Yeah... you're right.
Matt: I very rarely am, but this time, I shall take it!
Anah: Matt?
Matt: Anah?
Anah: I love you a lottle.
Matt: I love you a lottle, too.
Anah: And I promise it's just you that I want!
Matt: Ditto, Penguin.
