"Hello, this is Jimmy's Ice Cream Parlour! What would you like to order? We have a—"
"I would like a chocolate soft serve and a large moose tracks sundae, please."
"Ugh. It's you again, isn't it?"
"Yeah. But I actually would really like some ice cream right now."
"We don't serve ice cream to creeps, sorry."
"Listen, I wanted to explain a little."
". . ."
"I'm serious."
"Okay?"
"I think we came off the wrong foot. I know that I might sound like a creep, but I'm really not."
"Uh huh."
"I'm serious, Sprinkles."
"Sprinkles?"
"Yeah, that's your nickname now."
"You still don't know me. Just because you call me on this phone everyday doesn't mean you can make up a nickname for me. Like, seriously, you've only known me for what? Two, maybe three days now? And you're trying to give me a nickname?"
"It was a prank call the first time, my friend made me do it. I'm just teasing you by continuing our calls."

"Okay, whatever you say . . . Sprinkles."
"I'm hanging up now."
"No, don't be like that. Sprinkles!"
". . ."
"She has an uncanny habit of hanging up on me first."
