"Goodbye! How are you today?"
"I can't believe I answered."
"Well I had to call three times before you did."
"Yeah well...I don't talk to people very much anymore."
"That's okay you can just talk to me!"
"You're backwards, I'm going to call you Mr. Backwards."
"Okay cool! I love it!"
"Why are you so happy all the time?"
"Because...I don't really actually know...maybe I'm just backwards!"
"You have a really weird laugh, Mr. Backwards."
"What are you doing right now?"
"I'm just drinking tea."
"Why tea?"
"It makes me feel full."
"You know you could eat and then feel full."
"Or I could drink tea."
"You are hard to convince."
"You have no idea."
