"Is your house on fire?"
"No...?"
"Man, I thought it was because you're so dang hot."
"I think you need to work on that."

"I'm going to speak before you even start, because we both know you never shut up."
"Hello to you too."
"Why did you say you had to hang up on me the last two calls we have had?"
"Because, unlike you it seems, I have to work to make a living."
"Why do you have to work for a living?"
"That's question number two, you know."
"Fine, this will be our ten question game."
"Fine then. I have to work for a living because my dad can't even get out of the house without being drunk, my mom is very sick so she can't get out of bed, and my brother is too wrapped up in college to give our family another glance."
"Wow... I'm sorry."
"Haven't we been over this Oliver? Don't say sorry for things you didn't do."
"Oh, yeah, sorry. I forgot."
"It's fine. My turn to ask a question."
"Actually, I still have eight questions."
"I don't care. I'm going to ask my question."
"That's not how you play the game."
"Now it is."
"Fine, whatever you say, Sweetie."
"Don't call me that."
"Okay then, Sweetie."
"Ugh. Fine, my question for you is why do you always call me that, even when I told you not to last week."
"Because I knew you would grow to love me. And you're fun to annoy."
"First off, I don't 'love' you. And second off, I'm pretty sure I'm not fun to annoy."
