"Hello?"
"So, what's your favorite dog movie?"
"Oh, you again."
"Don't sound so excited next time, Katy."
"Katy?"
"Well, I don't know your name. But I was once under the assumption that your name was Katy, and until you tell me your real name, that's what I will call you."
"Hm, makes sense I suppose."
"Yeah, so Katy, what's your favorite dog movie?"
"Lassie."
"Lassie? Never heard of it."
"What! Seriously? It's a collie who always saves the day. Has some adorable children side kicks...ringing any bells?"
"Absolutely not. Is it any good?"
"Well of course it's good, I just told you it was my favorite."
"Just because something is your favorite that doesn't have to mean it's good. I barely know you, Katy, how am I to know if I can trust your movie recommendations?"
"Well, stranger, how about you rent it and watch yourself."
"I just may have to do that."
"Good."
"My name is Jake, by the way."
"Nice to meet you Jake."
"You're not going to tell me your name?"
"Maybe I will..after you watch Lassie."
"If I knew any better I'd think that was an excuse to get me to call you again."
"Oh please, Jake, you barely know me at all. Remember?"
"For now. Goodnight Katy."
"Sweet dreams, Jake."
