"How dare you hang up on me Mr. Rudeness!"
"What's your deal with screaming at me today?"
"Mooooom! Stranger is being mean to me."
"That's not my name."
"Well, it's what you are isn't it?"
"True. So, why were you so eager to call me... again."
"I'm bored and need something to do."
"I'm not the most exciting thing in the world."
You aren't a thing! You're a human being! Who, now that I realize it, sounds a lot like my cousin Mickey."
"My name isn't Micky, and what kind of a name is that for a child? Are his parents obsessed with Disney?"
"No. I thought the name was also strange."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...so..."
"So...?"
"I finished the pizza."
"The entire thing!?"
"Yeah...?"
"It's only been about ten minutes!"
"Your point would be...?"
"..."
"I swear! If you hang up on me again!"
"Chill, Misty, chill."
"What do you do for fun?"
"Watch movies. In the dark. On mute."
"You're boring."
"You're loud."
"I know you are but what am I?"
"And annoying."
"I know you are but what am I?"
"And a pig."
"They are so cute!!! I used to live on a farm back in Arkansas."
"That explains your heavy accent."
"It's not that heavy, not too different from yours."
"Why did you move?"
"Our parents divorced and my mom wanted to move."
"Oh. When did you move?"
"A year ago. We still visit because our grandparents and other family members live there, but now it's just my mom, little sister, and I here in Tennessee. What about your family?"
"What about them?"
"Exactly what I just asked, tell me about them."
"Well, I live with my mom, stepdad, and Boston terrier. He's actually on my bed beside me."
"I have a Collie back at the farm. She's super cute!"
"What's her name?"
"Jessica."
"Why, would you ever name your dog that?"
"Cuz I like the name. You gotta problem with that?"
"You just went super southern."
"Hey! Don't mock me, you make me sound like an idiot."
"Aren't you one though?"
"You're so mean! If I could, I would reach through the phone and punch you."
"Harsh."
"Says the guy who just called me an idiot."
"Nice speaking to you, Mystery girl."
"Don't leave me, Stranger! I don't have anything else to do."
"Twiddle your thumbs."
"Now you sound super southern."
"Ha ha. Goodbye Misty."
"Goodbye Stranger."
