"Get ready, bitch!"
"Merde!"
"..."
"Stop laughing! How many times have I told you not to scare me like that?"
"Ask your red nose. How heavy is your phone? You look like Rudolph the Reindeer."
"It's not funny. It hurts."
"I'm sure it does. Here, I'll kiss it better for you."
"Thank you, mon amour."
"Hey look! Your cheeks match your nose now!"
"... Did you only break my nose so you could kiss me then see me blush?"
"Huh?– Oh, yeah! Get ready, I'm taking you out."
"But it's nine."
"The city sleeps when I sleep! I want to celebrate your brand's new collection."
"It's not even out yet. We're still working on some designs–"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I listen to you when you speak, you dingus. I just want to do something fun together, so get dressed."
"Are you not going to get dressed?"
"My sweatpants and t-shirt are both stylish and comfortable."
"Where are we going?"
"I don't know, where do you want to go?"
"..."
"What?"
"You tell me to get ready but don't even know where we're going?"
"You're the ideas guy in this relationship. You come up with a plan."
"Well... I do have an idea."
"Great! What? Why are you grinning– fuck. No, André, I'll do anything but that–"
"We're going shopping!"
"I'm kind of feeling sleepy– long day at work and everything. I'm sure that broken nose must have tired you out."
"Nuh-uh! It woke me up. Come on, we can get you less worn-out sweatpants!"
"Only if you buy me chicken nuggets."
"Deal."
