“Excuse me. Can you borrow me a kiss? I promise I’ll give it right back.”
“Sorry. I don’t borrow kisses to dickheads.”
“Just when I thought you’ve given up on calling me a dick.”
“Just when I thought you’ve given up on using cheesy pick-up lines.”
“I bet you love them.”
“You couldn’t be more wrong. They’re too cheesy and I absolutely despise cheese.”
“That’s your problem. My lines are absolutely cheesylicious.”
“Whoever told you that should consider opening acting classes. They sure know how to pretend to make people feel special.”
“That’s just you being jealous.”
“That’s just me being truthful.”
“I don’t know if I’ve asked this. . .but, just to be safe, I haven’t been talking to a fifteen years old, right?”
“Well. . .that took an unusually unexpected turn. Is that your way of asking how old I am?”
“So. . .?”
“So?”
“How old are you?”
“Ask nicely first.”
“What was your first clue?”
“Only if you ask nicely.”
“Bet your you chin is facing the sky at the moment.”
“All high and mighty.”
“Answer the question.”

“Nice choice. And who knows?”
“Dear Miss. . .”
“Haha. Nice try. You’re not getting it.”
“Fine. Please, can I know how old you are?”
“I’m having a hard time convincing myself to let you know.”
“And there it is. The attitude.”
“And how would you know?”
“Puh-lease. I’m pretty observant. It’s hardly unnoticeable.”
