"Hello."
"Hey."
"Princess! My lovely, dear princess!"
"Why the excitement?"
"I have a surprise for you."
"Ooo, what is it?"
"I shall underline the word 'surprise'. You won't know until later, princess."
"Hmm, can I guess?"
"Sure. Shall I get your order?"
"Of course! You are going to pay for my order?"
"No."
"Extra pickup lines?"
"No."
"You bought me a giant stuffed bear the size of a house with a red bow wrapped around his neck and a huge name tag dangling from the bow haphazardly that I can sit on comfortably without falling off and still have room for everything else I need including ice cream and popcorn?"
"No."
"Was it close?"
"If the surprise was hot, then you were so cold you made Antarctic look like a tropical continent, princess."
"Ohh... that doesn't sound very close. So... will you give the surprise to me today?"
"Not today but in two days."
"So why are you telling me?"
"To annoy the living heck out of you."
"Well, congratulations! You are succeeding."
"Great! That is my only goal in life. Frank will be over with your ice cream, but now! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, girl on the phone! Pickup line time."
"Oh boy."
"This is no oh boy moment. This is an oh yeah moment."
"Oh yeah!"
"Better. If you were a fruit, you'd be FINE-apple."
"Just, man-GO."
"No, no, that doesn't work."
"Okay, no need to rub it in my face. It was pretty quick to think up."
"One last line because the phone lines are exploding."
"Shoot!"
"I lost my teddy bear. Can you sleep with me instead?"
"No way! We haven't even met."
"I guess not, princess... guess not."
