"I'm sorry."

"You know you didn't have to say that again."

"No, just--just let me say it out loud, okay? I'd feel like I'd be lying to myself if I didn't."

"Um."

"I'm sorry."

"You didn't have to say it twice."

"...Sorry."

"You're a bloody idiot, you know that?"

"Yeah. I guess I am."

"...you didn't have to be so considerate."

"Uh. Sorry."

"Just shut up, Tommy."

"Sorry?"

"You know what? Forget it. Buggin' stupid of me to think that we'd have a nice long heart-to-heart chat."

"Uh, isn't that what we're doing right now?"

"...I'm hanging up."

"No, wait!"

"What?"

"*laughs* I forgot how beautiful your accent was."

"...flattery won't get you anywhere, shuck-face."

"Is it true?"

"Is what true?"

"That you asked your teacher for a new project?"

"Um."

"You know, if you were going to leave me hanging dry, then you should've at least told me before doing so."

"Sorry."

"Now I'm going to be left project-less."

"Is that bad?"

"Shuck yeah it is! Now I'll have to attend the extra credit classes. Ugh. I bloody hate the smart snobs there."

"You do know that you've been talking to a smart snob all this time."

"Ahhh. Point taken."
