Chres: well in that case. How's it going man? (Smiles)

Nelson: (laughs) great.

Madison: (shakes her head and walks away)

You: how can he double book for the same date?

Trey: I don't know. Maybe someone came who he's knows and he just decided to give it to them instead.

You: (roll your eyes) god.

Trey: (Kisses you) we'll find another place. But right now I have to go get the security deposit back. See you in a few.
