Brendan|Hayley
"So when are we going to meet?"
"Soon."
"Like tomorrow soon? Or next month soon?"
"Just soon."
"How about next week soon?"
"Boy, you sure are excited to meet me."
"Damn right I am."
"But why?"
"I don't know. You might know what I look like but I'd like to put a face to the voice I've been hearing for the past two months."
"What if I'm bald with a head tattoo and an eye patch? Oh, and a few gold teeth."
"Then I'll know that I've got myself a rich one. Who can take me to Barbados."
"Oh my God, what is up with you and Barbados, really?"
"I just like the name of the place! I mean, just listen to it. Barbados. It sounds so exotic."
"So does Venice. Or Mumbai. Or Tokyo. Everything that isn't here sounds exotic Brendan."
"That is not true! Does Derbyshire sound exotic? How about Adelaide? Those names are boring."
"But those places may not be!"
"Don't matter. I won't feel like visiting anyway."
"You're weird Brendan. Like really weird."
"You're weirder, Hayley, but I like you anyway."
"..."
"Are you trying to be cute?"
"What if I am?"
"It's not working."
"You know it is."
"No, it's really not."
"..."
"Whatever."
