"Hey"

"Hello! This is the Suicide Hotline, where we try to convince you not to kill yourself. How may I help you?"

"I do not sound like that"

"You do"

"You make me sound like those bimbo girls whose voices sound like they just inhaled helium"

"Well aren't you?"

"No. Hell no"

"Does that mean you sound like this man"

"What? That sounds like a surfer dude voice and last time I checked I'm not a dude"

"Could have fooled me"

"Just know that I'm storing all of these things you're saying and doing to me and I'm gonna get payback"

"Payback?"

"Yes payback and it's gonna come when you least expect it"

"Right"

"You don't believe me?"

"No"

"That's good"

"It is?"

"Yep, which means payback is going to be even more sweeter"

"Whatever you say baby girl. What's your major?"

"That's random. My major?"

"Yeah. Don't you know what that means? Its means--"

"Don't get smart with me. That's my job. I know what it means"

"So tell me"

"I major in arts"

"Arts? That's very specific"

"Dramatic Arts, drama, theatre drama"

"Really? I really didn't peg you as a drama geek"

"What did you peg me as Chicken?"

"No not as a chicken"

"..."

"Not funny?"

"Not at all"

"I pegged you more as a girl who answers depressing suicidal phone calls as a job"

"Haha"

"On a serious note though, I just didn't think you'd be a drama geek"

"I'm not a drama geek, I just like drama"

"Drama geek"

"Whatever. I really like drama, I've liked it ever since my mother took me to one when I was like four the play was called Sarafina. Its a south african play which I won't explain the details of but I swear it was love at first sight"

"Its really amazing to hear you talk about something so passionate baby girl"

"Yeah well I'm not passionate about a lot of things and I blame life, however drama... is just... there is just something about playing another character that just makes me feel alive"

"...Wow"

"Yeah wow. I knew that drama was for me so I pursued it and nothing else and now I'm majoring in it and I couldn't be happier"

"That's amazing baby girl and I'm happy for you"

"Thank you..."

"Do you want to say something else?"

"Huh?..Uh...no...why?"

"You sound like you want to say something else"

"No. I'm cool"

"Thank you for letting me in"

"You're welcome"

"Baby girl?"

"Yeah?"

"I--"

"...You what?"

"I-- never mind its no big deal"

"Are you sure? I wouldn't mind hearing it. Even if its no big deal"

"Don't worry about it baby -- girl, don't worry about it baby girl. Its nothing"

"Okay if you say so"

"Look I have to cut this short. Can I call you back later on this evening to say goodnight?"

"Uh..."

"Um...its fine if you don't want me to...I just wanted--"

"--You can"

"I can?"

"Yeah"

"Great!...I mean cool, I mean are you sure?"

"Uh huh"

"Okay cool, great , awesome. Um.. later baby girl"
