"How are you?"
"I'm okay. You?"
"I'm great."
"I was actually going to call you. I just finished reading the Harry Potter books for the seventh time."
"I've never read nor seen Harry Potter."
"WHAT?"
"Um, yeah. I'm guessing you're a fan?"
"ONLY THE BIGGEST FAN IN HISTORY! DO YOU EVEN KNOW ME? HARRY POTTER IS MY LIFE!"
"We'll have to watch them eventually."
"Together?"
"Together!"
"Wow! You just quoted Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part 2!"
"I'm bound to be a fan now."
"But be careful. Once you get sucked into the fandom, there's no going back."
"What's 'fandom'?"
"Oh you have so much to learn. But actually, I wanted to order soup."
"Chicken noodle soup?"
"Yes."
"Are you still sick?"
"A little bit."
"I won't forget you this time."
"You better not forget me."
"Believe me, it's impossible to think about anything else."
