"You know, we have more pauses in our conversation then we do words."
"Just means I don't have to talk to you as often."
"Ha, ha. Anyways, I've came up with a total stereotypical way to get to know each other more."
"You mean more as in more than telling a person you don't really know and only called you to prank you your name?"
"Glad we're on the same page, Sweetie."
"Har, har. So let me guess, we're playing twenty questions?"
"Incorrect! We're playing ten questions."
"Are you being serious?"
"Does it seem like I'm joking?"
"You can never tell with a person like you."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing."
"You know what, I don't care."
"I'm glad you have taken a step towards the dark side, we have been awaiting your arrival."
"Don't you have anything better to do?"
"I should actually be working but instead I'm talking to you, so yes, I have something better to do."
"Oh, really? Where do you work?"
"That's question number one, bucko."
"I don't care."
"Another foot into the dark side."
"JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!!"
"I work at a local coffee shop. And what did I say about screaming on the phone?"
"I'm sorry for screaming. Not."
"Just another foot buddy, just another foot."
"Oh my gosh, be quiet about that. But that's cool, working at a coffee shop."
"Yeah, it's a cool job. I've got to go now, call me tomorrow, will ya?"
"Don't I call you every day?"
"Yes..."
"So why wouldn't I call you tomorrow?"
"I don't know. I'm just saying."
"Yeah, I know. Bye Misfit."
Beeeeep
"Bye Oliver."
