Matt: Morning, beautiful.
Anah: It's a better morning today than it was yesterday!
Matt: How so?
Anah: Well, you know how Haley thought she was pregnant yesterday?
Matt: Yeah?
Anah: Well, it was a false positive.
Matt: A what?
Anah: She did a home test and it came back positive, but when we went to the doctor she said that Haley wasn't pregnant.
Matt: Congratulations?
Anah: Yep!
Matt: So... how's Haley?
Anah: Ecstatic. And single.
Matt: Her and Ben broke up?
Anah: Uh... yeah.
Matt: Because he was a jerk?
Anah: One of many reasons, I think.
Matt: They were great together.
Anah: I know... but they were never gonna be one of those 'forever couples' were they?
Matt: A what?
Anah: A forever couple.
Anah: You know? A couple that are together forever.
Matt: Are we a forever couple?
Anah: I hope that's a rhetorical question.
Matt: It is now.
Anah: On the plus side- I have my dress for Winter Ball.
Matt: You do?
Matt: I thought you were going tomorrow.
Anah: It's Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Matt: Yeah... and?
Anah: *eye roll* You and Eden are scarily similar.
Matt: That's insulting.
Anah: Yeah... I better apologize to Eden.
Matt: Another sarcastic comment?
Anah: No.
Matt: Yes.
Anah: Anyway... you're gonna need a black tux.
Matt: You sure? Black?
Anah: Hold up...
Anah: Eden says it's definitely black that you need.
Matt: Then a black tux I shall get.
Matt: A black three piece tux.
Anah: Like Bond?
Matt: Totally like Bond.
Anah: Which Bond?
Matt: Does it matter?
Anah: Another rhetorical question?
Matt: Sean Connery's Bond?
Anah: The right answer!
Matt: Thank God!
Anah: Just don't expect me to look like a Bond girl!
Matt: Just look like yourself... you're far more beautiful than any Bond girl.
Anah: Sap.
Matt: So... how's project Maggie-Sutter going?
Anah: Well, they're having lunch together as we speak.
Matt: Just the two of them?
Anah: Yep! This is going great!
Matt: Well, it's lasted longer than I had expected.
Anah: You should have trusted me a little more!
Matt: I trust you... it's just...
Anah: What?
Matt: It is Sutter we're talking about.
Anah: And?
Matt: He doesn't really do girlfriends, does he?
Anah: Maybe Maggie's the one to get him to change.
Matt: It's gonna take a hell of a girl to do that!
Anah: Well, I just happen to know a 'hell of a girl.'
Matt: So, what happens after their lunch date?
Anah: An actual date?
Matt: For when?
Anah: Saturday?
Matt: But it's Thanksgiving weekend.
Anah: Sunday? Monday? Tuesday?
Anah: Whenever...
Matt: What's the end game?
Anah: They go to Winter Ball together?
Matt: What's the chances of that happening?
Anah: Eighty-twenty.
Matt: Eighty-twenty which way?
Anah: Eighty per cent that they'll go. Twenty per cent that they won't.
Matt: I'm not liking my odds of winning this bet.
Anah: Well, my chances are great!
Matt: Maybe I should sabotage this...
Anah: Don't you dare!
Matt: Why not? You're actively trying to set them up. I should try to break them up.
Anah: NO!
Matt: Oh, this is so on!
Anah: NO!
Matt: Suck it up, Penguin. You've just met your match.
Anah: I hate you. A lottle.
Matt: I hate you a lottle too.
Anah: PLEASE DON'T BREAK THEM UP!
Matt: I'll think about it ;)
Anah: Still hate you.
Matt: I still hate you too.
