"Oh, right! I forgot about the timezone. Jesus, what time is it there?"

"Yeah but I'm a bitch. When people are friendly, it means that I have to do the unspeakable horror of being nice to people." 

"Oh how horrible it must be for you." 

"I KNOW RIGHT?"

"...that was sarcasm."

"Well, I was being serious. Don't laugh at my issues, Franklin, it's not a laughing matter."
